Dr. Jason Fung: Fasting as a Therapeutic Option for Weight Loss
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 06. 2024
- Dr. Jason Fung, MD, is a nephrologist and expert in the use of intermittent fasting and low-carbohydrate diets for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. In this presentation, delivered on Aug. 2, 2018, at the 2018 CrossFit Health Conference in Madison, Wisconsin, Fung shares his first-hand experiences with “The Mess” and discusses how he shifted his research and medical practices as a result of those experiences.
Fung’s objectives for his presentation include:
1. Understanding why long-term weight loss is so difficult.
2. Introducing the concept of therapeutic fasting.
3. Understanding some myths and misunderstandings associated with the fasting process.
He recalls treating obese and diabetic patients with traditional methods, which included what he characterizes as poor dietary recommendations and a slurry of drugs. He explains, “It became obvious that I’m just sort of holding their hand until they get their heart attack, until they get dialysis, until they go blind, until we chop their feet off.”
“It’s really sad to realize that the profession that you’ve chosen is not really helping people,” he says. This realization compelled him to diagnose the problems associated with traditional care and seek alternative treatment methods for his patients.
Fung historicizes what he calls “the modern eating pattern,” which emerged in 1977 in the U.S. with the development of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. He notes the 1977 guidelines led to the consumption of more grains and sugars, which in turn led to people “eating often, eating late, and eating all the time.”
Incidences of obesity and Type 2 diabetes reached epidemic levels, and the most common treatments long have been drug interventions. Unfortunately, the prevailing non-pharmaceutical prescription - to eat less and move more - has a 99.9% failure rate. Fung observes that popular wisdom tells us to blame the patient and assume he or she did not adhere to the prescription. He claims a basic understanding of metabolism suggests otherwise, however.
Fung explains why a significant reduction in caloric intake leads to a decrease in basal metabolism. This biological inevitability is ignored by the proponents of the “calories in, calories out” fallacy, he observes.
He also explains why intermittent fasting is an effective alternative to traditional treatments for obesity and diabetes. The modern eating pattern keeps our insulin levels high all the time as we eat over long durations, and when insulin remains high all the time, Fung explains, our bodies store food energy as fat, and we remain hungry.
Intermittent fasting, on the other hand, allows insulin levels to drop, which puts us in burning mode rather than storing mode.
Fung claims his recommendations are so effective that patients no longer need to say, “Oh wow, I have to go see my doctor to see what pill I need,” or, “I need to go see my doctor to see if he needs to stick a stent in me.” Instead, Fung explains, “We’re giving you the power to take back your own health, because you’re not gonna get it from anywhere else.”

Have you ever noticed when you go to bed hungry you wake up feeling fine, but go to bed after eating a giant meal and you wake up starving ?
I agree but it could also be content.
Try making the giant meal low in carbs and sugar and see if it's the same.
Absolutely!
Yes I do notice. That's why my last meal of the day is 1:00 pm
Mike G why is that!!
Wow, never thought of it.... but now I think about it, you’re so right!
Eat one healthy meal a day , do exercise, take vitamin tabs and sleep well.
That's what I've done and it's my 90th birthday next week. 😊 😊
Boom! You’re what I aspire to be my friend. I wish you health and happiness.
Happy Birthday! 🎂
Happy 90th Birthday King 🎉🥳
God bless you!
Happy birthday Ole Fella and God bless!
My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article czcams.com/users/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.
“Because that’s what body fat is for, it’s for you to use when you have nothing to eat. It’s not there for looks” 😭😭😭 oh I love Dr. Fung!
Chubby chasers would disagree though
😂🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️
So true "there is no money in it, so no one promotes fasting"
Except fasting clinics like True North, in Santa Rosa, CA.
So true, all about money. Even the saying of "breakfast is most important meal of the day" is from a breakfast cereal company
You can't sell any quack supplements either. Well MCT oil maybe make it easier.
So very true
Well, you could sell weightloss programs incorporating IF like Kinobody does. I'm sure lots of people make money promoting it.
This man honestly saved my life. I'm down 137 pounds so far.
Sounds like an English class and/or spell check might be the savior you actually need
Alexander Cheney congrats
well done
That’s wonderful!! Congratulations 🤗
@@praisehim3756 what the fuck? we're all here about health and here you are acting like degenerate grammar nazi. Get a life idiot
*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
Water in, water out. I drink tea all day, and pee all day. it's no problem, in fact, it will keep kidneys in great shape. I suggest putting a bit of Himalayan rock salt in the water, because too much water can cause issues like brain swelling, and dehydration. drinking water flushed out nutrients (causing death) Added salt creates an electrolyte, and contains all the minerals you need.
I’d suggest you take her to Someone who knows what they are doing. Perhaps a pediatrician? What about that?
When you drink too much water you deplete your electrolytes and that actually dehydrates you and then you drink more water because you are always thirsty. I actually had this problem and I reduced my water intake and my electrolytes stop being depleted and my mouth stopped being so dry and I stoped feeling like I was always thirsty. It’s a viscous cycle and will continue until broken and it seems counter intuitive to stop drinking so much water if you are thirsty but when you realize that over drinking water actually depletes your electrolytes which in turn makes you thirsty it’s understandable. Another thing is cold drinks make you want to drink more so I don’t know if your daughter drinks ice water or room temperature water but I would switch to room temperature water so it’s not as appetizing. And the salt idea that another responder had isn’t the worse idea however that can be over done as well so I would really just reduce water intake. Eventually it will even out and it wouldn’t even take that long, possibly around a week or 2 and then she will no longer want water as much. The old saying “ too much of a good thing can be bad as well” really holds true even for something like water which isn’t something that people would think would be true but it ever applies here.
Excessive thirst and urination could be a symptom of a medical problem. Take her to a real doctor.
@@Snoball131 Nah, I'm sure discredited quacks like Fung and basement dwelling 15 year old "doctors" with a keyboard and youtube account are a much better source for medical information.
This lecture should be mandatory for all doctors in the US. Probably in the world.
Unfortunately, big pharma wine and dine doctors to push their drugs. Too many incentives for doctors to push prescriptions.
In the world.
Are you a doctor?
@@gajahsimha2848 no, but I also don't have any degree, and I make more than a doctor.
Many won’t do this bc it’s decreasing their bank account
Lord please protect this man at all cost.
JoMarie 87 Amen!!
i wouldn't be surprised if big pharma has an open contract on him
Wendy Green ...lol..tru dat!
So true, not sure if you’re familiar with Dr. Sebi but he was incarcerated for healing people of illnesses by way of fasting and not following the dietary recommendations. Be well everyone.
Amen, amen and amen!
When your a kid, you think adults have their shit together, when your an adult, you realize no one has their shit together.... So true!
Right ???!!!
🤣😂👍
I usually leave mine it the toilet and not get it together LOL
Having your shit together is called constipation.
Greatly said
I always listen to this whenever I am fasting. Keeps me motivated 😅
👍
Same here!!!😂
Me too !!!
Same here specially when I'm doing Prolonged fasting
This well intentioned man turns me on
I'm binge watching Fung videos while fasting.
SAAAAME
Also same. 41 pounds down so far.
I am just starting to fast. I see the benefits already. This is amazing!!!
Same here!
SAME😁
I fast (one main meal a day) for 4 days per week. After 20 weeks - I have the body that I had at 19 at 50 years of age. People like Dr Fung are a godsend.
What do you eat in the one meal
@@marshacampbell5214 he eats 3 meals in that one meal. Actually eating once a day is other end of extreme.
Hope you are still doing well. I wonder what time of day you have your one meal.
You do one meal a day for 4 days in a week. Is it continous one meal a day for 4 days? Then
What how many meals do you take on each of the remaining day.
@@DeputyBurbank You have no idea what he eats in the one meal. FWIW, I eat one meal a day, and fast two days a week, and my one meal is not nearly "3 meals" worth. And it's not and extreme...eating five meals a week is liberating in so many ways. It's awesome.
Fasting (7 day water fast) also helped me process my grief. It allowed me to overcome the physiological, psychological and spiritual challenges related to that event. Fasting is a very powerful tool for health and healing in general.
I wish I could go that long. There's been so many people more, "in touch" with the world and your body starts repairing itself because it's constantly not processing food 24/7. Good on you hope I get to your level
Thank you@@kass______4298. I have since learned that it is just as beneficial to use bulletproof coffee and tea, along with electrolyte powder in prolonged fasting. Maybe that could be the key for you. Water only fasts, with sea salt, may be more beneficial in some cases in dealing with illness, but otherwise, there are much less painless ways to fast with with great dividends.
@@guidedbygracehealthcoaching Very well done. Does fasting make us stronger emotionally? I fear change. Can fasting help me?
Also, doesn't bulletproof coffee break our fast
@@thetree7694 Thank you. Yes. It can temper emotional upheaval. Fear of change is understandable. Yes. I believe it (fasting) can.

This works, I had never considered fasting for type 2 diabetes. It works.😊😊😊 I’m 73 , diabetic for 25 years on maximum dose of oral meds plus insulin, I have been doing keto plus fasting, plus Omad , for a year, now off insulin and halved my oral med. That’s a slower response than with younger people. But I’m slowly getting better. 👍👍👍 Thank you Dr.Fung, you are saving lives.

Doctors have scated the s*** out of them, by making no distinction between ketoacidosis (dangerous) and dietary ketosis. My diabetic SIL was alarmed for me.
I've been intermittent fasting for over 25 years and my health is outstanding. No medications and no health issues. I'm 54!
Nice to hear that mam . Can you please share your routine. How you do that and what you eat after fasting. Will be helpful.
Thanks and God bless

Really?
And you look amazing!
Why is nobody talking about the fact that this dude just gave a spotless lecture for 1 hour straight. I wish I had that skill.
Me too! I joined a Toastmasters club so that I can gain the ability to give a presentation on this level.
@@MrSnazzy682 his brain is sharp, he knows this knowledge so deeply, I'm sure he'll say it if woken up from sleep.
On a 96 hour fast now. On hour 71, just 25 hours to go. One way I find you get me thru long fast is to watch videos about how fasting is good for me. Thanks for the video.
I did a 96 hour fast back in April 2020. I lost 11 lbs and felt a lot better.
That’s amazing. You both are inspiring me to take fasting seriously 🙂
Me too. I'm on the 27th hour of autophagy. Videos like there are very informative & act as rewards that I'm doing something good to my body. Also, screw medical professionals, over 70% of them are in it for money. No one actually cares about rest of the humans like we used to, back in the old days.
@@kunaldodeja3794 you’re right medical professionals are not in it for the right reasons. They eventually become drug pushers. All the best with your fast 💕
Me too. I call them fasting coaches. They really help. You tap out early you feel guilty and everything. But yes stay focused on why your doing it by LISTENING to the many teachings.
I am a retired MD, past 70. Throughout my life I held a valid license to practice medicine in the US, UK and Italy. What Dr. Fung is saying makes a lot of sense and he is proving it with excellent documentation even though it is still considered a “ theory “. I am neither fat nor diabetic, I cannot offer any personal testimonial, but I am convinced to the point that I started OMAD myself as a lifestyle.
I wish we knew better when I went to Medical School or even later as I practiced medicine as an internist. Type II diabetes and obesity are not chronic diseases and can be CURED! It is amazing news which should be widely publicized! I wish the conference room was packed solid!
Thanks for Your work for humanity Dr. Fung!
Giorgio Scappini all medical schools created by chemical companies. fact. you contributed to the deaths and illnesses of many people. see Eustace Mullins videos to learn who you were working for.
It's not a "theory." It's been proven many times over with solid studies.
hopespringseternal70 - Arrogant much? He can’t be expected to know what wasn’t even accessible or established knowledge during his professional era. That’s not even logical. Just because the internet and foreword thinkers give us access to better ideas, knowledge and culture doesn’t mean we’re somehow superior to those who didn’t get what we have.
Previous generations laid the groundwork for the lives we now live. It’s on us what we do with what we have. Most people today can’t be bothered to even educate themselves despite greater access to information than has ever been historically available to the masses - leaving them ignorant and ill equipped to be of much use to anyone else.
The more discerning question, since fasting was an integrated part of ancient practice globally, is who buried and reversed this practice? When did they obscure it and who benefited from hiding critical life-supporting information from humanity?
One thing he didn't mention is internal fat & how it adversely affects our bodies causing cancers eventually!
So intermittent fasting will also prolong your life

I just had a 55year HS reunion with former classmates. I was sad to see wheelchairs, walking sticks, obesity. It shocked them to see a lean 139lbs 5'7 frame and prodded me to share my secret. I had 2 words-. STOP EATING. And then referred them to Dr Fung's video. Thanks doc. You're saving lives.
Amazing. I am 61 and love the bikini season. I went to my 40 year HS reunion and I was shocked! It is hard to stop eating, but we must Stop Eating poorly and excessively. I was a grazer. I am an 18:6 newby and want to lower my inflamation and body fat %.
Yup, lost 80 lbs in 4 months. Look and feel great! Thx Doctor. 😊
@Ed no carbs but from cruciferous veggies, no sugar and moderate protein- clean Keto. 18 hour a day fasting with lots of sea salted water with minimal walking.
@Ed 1500-2000 lots of eggs, olive oil, bacon, avocados to add fat
“We’re giving you the power to take control of your own health because you’re not going to get it anywhere else”.
I think it’s really cool that he just puts it all out there, he doesn’t play that game where he keeps describing the problem for like an hour and then at the end try to sell you his book or seminars with the answer
He’s not a huckster he’s a teacher
He is really a great man who has genuine intention to help people..
Yes, correct
Exactly! What I really dislike about certain speakers and "gurus" is that they always lure you with 'free e-book' and a link to their books and merchandise
A great teacher! But instead of using Catholics as fasting heroes, I believe Christians should be the group he refers to! I was a Catholic for 33 years, and fasting was never mentioned or taught by my mother, priests, or nuns in CCD, lol!
@@jeanbreen3176 um, what's the difference between Catholics and Christians? Also, of all the things he pointed out, why focus specifically on literally 0,0001% of his whole presentation? He wasn't saying anything wrong. Just that several religions all over the world practiced fasting for thousands of years so that the fasting-hating allopathics (indoctrinated "doctors") have no leg to stand on.
Listening to this again in 2023, after listening to it in 2020, 2021, 2022 .... So much still to learn. 🙏💖🙏
Just finished a 96 hour fast. I’m hoping to heal my fatty liver and lower my weight. Good health and best wishes to us all.
I thank God for a man that you are, who prepared to help mankind .Without putting gains first. God bless you and give you more knowledge.
wakawaka1976 ~ how did you make out?
@@maggieguzowski768 the fast was pretty easy but I’m not sure the results as I needed an ultrasound to see fatty liver. My A1C has been better since I’ve lost weight. I’m also doing keto. I made a goal of losing 60lbs in 6 months then after I made that goal I gained 30 back with no goals to motivate me. Now I’m in the process of losing 37…. Stay at a healthy weight and be physically active for you and your loved ones. That’s my goal
" hunger acts as wave, it doesn't develop" that means if you go to bed hungry, you're not gonna die in the morning
Partly inspired by Dr. Fung, I started eating one meal a day. I lost 25 pounds in 2 months and had several chronic conditions clear up. I've been eating one (big) meal (OMAD) for 3 years now and I love it! Simplifies my life cause I don't have to think about food till dinner. And I did some math on this. If I do OMAD till I'm 70, I'll save $40,000 and 2.5 years worth of time! Just so many benefits to IF, healthwise, and otherwise.
How many calories do you take in one meal?
heck yes, sign me up
And it would be hard to quantify in $$$ the savings on Health if you continue to adopt this OMAD for the rest of your life!
How old r u Danny?
I have done 3 day fasts for three consecutive weeks, and already lost 15 pounds. That is only reflective actually of my second fast, as I am currrently in a three day fast now on my third day and haven't weighed myself. The results are fucking unbelievable. I went from technically obese at 200 pounds (though I didn't look "obese"), to now looking pretty trim at 185. But I have a ways to go to get to my goal of 175 where I was 2 years ago. I recommend everyone fast. And I am curious how you are now? SInce this was a year ago.
This should seriously be required viewing for anybody past 30 years old!
You are my inspiration for today. Thank you. We used to do this naturally in Africa, and people would call us hungry, but we were not lacking, it was a lifestyle and we were healthy with strong immune systems. I never got sick until 5 years after adapting the American lifestyle and I got inducted into the lifestyle of constantly visiting a doctor.

My doctor told me to start fasting. I told her I just bought Dr Fung’s book. She said, Read it.

That's a good doctor
@@terrifenton1436 probably "The Complete Guide to Fasting." He has others, but his Fasting book is terrific

A doctor with COMMON SENSE!
It takes a long time to get your body adjusted to fasting and being fat adapted so you can live off your fat everyday. But once you get to that point, it’s almost effortless.
Dr Fung saved my life !! 🥰
What's a "long time"?
No, that's not true. That may be your experience. But it's not true for everyone.
@@laurah869 for me it was 3 and a half weeks
For me about 2 weeks the first time, shorter time next time. Depends how much glucose you've got stored in your system. Eat a keto diet for some weeks, then do fasting. Go slow for an easier smoother experience
@@galadriel3134 "sensitizing" the body to keto before trying out a fast makes sense 🤔
I lost 35 lbs in 6 months doing IF and Keto. Dropped my A1C from 7.3 to 5.6 in 3 months. Dr. Fung saved my life. I’m forever grateful.
what did your meal consist of?
I like the way he says "we" whenever he refers to something that is recommended by doctors. In other words, he may not agree with it, but he does not exclude himself. We as a group of professional doctors must take responsibility for what we, as a group of professionals, have been incorrectly recommending people to do.
But he doesn't take responsibility for his actions!! He's constantly blocking and denying people with an actual degree on this subject to talk, even going so far as to trying to get people fired because he lost his face when he didn't have valid arguments. But yes, MD's are generally the least knowledgeable individuals regarding diets out there.
@@PSA78 interested... what happened exactly
For sure humility is the best quality in any professional. The guy who has all the answers, well, the answers don't always check out. The guy who says, I haven't looked into that, I couldn't really say if it's true or not, thats the guy you can trust.
@@johnepyttesr8947 Layne have made several posts about him and his behavior. Where he can he's deleting posts with reference to non cherry picked and up to date research. The guy is probably making a fortune with his investments in different keto businesses that he has, so I guess it's too late to change his mind now. 😂
@@PSA78
Nonsense.
I just broke a 4 day fast. Will eat the next 2 days, then fast 11. This will be my longest fast yet. Why? I started IF eating OMAD 18 months ago. I was XXL and way over 300. Today? About 200 (not sure, not getting into the whole weighing thing at all) and size L. Two months ago started fasting 2 days a week. So eating just 5 times a week. I'm going for longer fasts because I know everything Jason Fung is saying is true and I know it because I've been living it and experiencing it for a year and a half now. Fasting is awesome because its the easiest, fastest, healthiest way to eat. Weight loss is merely a really awesome side effect. Autophagy, HGH, alertness, lower insulin and blood pressure levels, elimination of GERD and IBS, better sleep, more energy, less hunger. Those are the real reasons to fast. Repeat: less hunger. I was a hell of a lot less hungry this morning after 3 days without food than I was an hour after eating a bag of chips back when I was eating frequently all day long every day.
It is true that you become more adapted to this the longer you do it. That said, it was never that hard even in the beginning. Hunger is not the hardest part. Everyone assumes they'll be ravenously hungry. Because that's how you feel on every other diet. I know. I've done em. Fasting is different. The challenge isn't hunger. The challenge is habits. So break the bad habits. Save a ton of time and money and actually enjoy eating more.
Charles Miller not to mention increase in both HGH and Testosterone.
Just make your snake juice and you are good to go even for the double of days you are planning to. Keep the Fasting going bro!
Congratulations on your amazing weight loss! You will never go back to your old habits now that you know how to use food.
You are exactly right! I have also experienced many of the same benefits you described!
Well done on your achievement! I'm just doing omad six weeks and I can't imagine going back to what felt like eating all day. Most I would do (when I reach my target weight) is 2 meals but I'm going to try and stay with omad. I agree with you about the habit factor. Eating is a habit! I never thought I could give up my carb loaded breakfast but I did...replaced with a cup of black coffee. Good luck to you with the longer fasts. I haven't been brave enough yet!
Dr. Fung's down to earth approach to all the things that messed up my metabolism for decades changed my life. Thanks to him, I reached a healthy weight after losing 105 pounds by fasting and eating a low-carb lifestyle. Thanks again, Dr. Fung!

@@rocketrollsvlogs7625 "but I answered all the questions as if I was perfectly normal"
Implying you don't think fasting is normal? Cuz it's not. Don't lie to your doctor, it doesn't help you. Losing that much weight in that much time is not healthy, it's a sign something is wrong.
And this all or nothing mindset is pathetically devoid of personal discipline. Learn how to eat smaller portions through out the day, jesus christ. 🤣
Tim Noakes said when he first heard Jason Fung speak he realised he was witnessing the birth of a young master!
I was trying for years to lose fat. It was really hard. Intermittent fasting was one of the hardest things I tried to do in my life. You need so much mental strength to go through day while fasting. I am currently experimenting with nextlevel diet and it's working perfectly for me. 100% recommend.
Learning how to get sober sure prepared me to handle fasting.
You have to get enough sleep when transitioning to IT. That’s key. It was hard in the beginning for me years ago, now I can’t stand to eat when I first get up . It didn’t take long for me to adjust especially when I felt so much better.
If you do a keto diet it's not hard except an initial transitional period.
Dr. Feng is a brave doctor who is not bound by traditional nutrition education.

When I started, I wasn’t officially diagnosed with type II diabetes but my blood sugar had been rising and I had stage II fatty liver so I’m sure I was heading for it soon. This is not a diet to me but the way I intend to live the rest of my life thanks to the knowledge I’ve received from Mr. Fung and others.
how are you now? any update? tx
Soooooo wonderful!
@@dutube99 I’m continuing to lose weight but more slowly than at first. I’m down 70 lbs at this point but I have put on a good bit of muscle mass which offsets the number. I’m still feeling great which is the main thing to me.
Another interesting thing that happened was I had a weekend where I let myself “cheat” and had a good bit of sugary snacks and the next day I woke up feeling old familiar body aches, sore joints, and just generally bad. It was a good reminder of what my life was like every day when I started. I’ll get to goal weight eventually but I’m focused on just living each day better at this point. Thanks for asking! God bless.

My doctor told me to stop fasting. Even though it helped with my bowel issues, made me feel healthier, and look healthier. I have had acne since age 9. I've seen skin specialists, been on dozens of medications, treatments, elimination diets, natural skincare, korean skincare, etc. After fasting for 3 days my skin was completely clear and I didn't even touch it, and the sickness I was constantly feeling for years was gone as well.
Needless to say.... I hope you fired your doctor. Stick to your guns!
doctors have no idea sometimes ... lol
Your doctor will generally not do/say/advise anything that Big Pharma doesn't approve of.
@@d33763 truth...
Keep listening to your body. He can get his kickbacks from someone else.
Intermittent Fasting and OMAD has allowed me to lose 110lbs in two years. I’m only averaging about 1-2lbs weight loss a week but that’s fine with me because I eat whatever I want and my only form of exercise is walking about 2.5 miles a day at a leisurely pace. ❤️✌️😎
Congratulations Brian! Keep it up. Dr. Jason is amazing, isn't he?
I read his book in 1 day while fasting. I didn’t know it was possible to read so many pages in a day. Fasting = Time + Focus
EXACTLY, how many times does food come to mind when you try and sit to work on something.
But he's giving out bad information.... Bodybuilders restrict calories to get to low body fat percentages, they don't do intermittent fasting, this is a new trend, and caloric restriction has worked for professional bodybuilders for decades.

Yes !♡♡
Keto and intermittent fasting is a great ‘lifestyle change’… I went strict at first and lost 53 pounds in about 4 1/2 months and everything improved.. 60 years old and no meds at all, look ten years younger and feel and look great! Love it, love it, love it! Yes I exercise too!
Fasting really works. I wanted to lose approx 25 pounds. started with 16/8 and lost like 15 pounds and then plateaued. Then I tried Omad and lost some more and I even tried 36 hour fast. It’s incredible. When ever I fall off the wagon, I’d watch Dr Fung video and motivates me to start Omad again. Thank you so much!
I lost 16 lbs in 30 days. Next month only two lbs , started intermittent fasting and in a week lost 6 lbs, I’m going to continue cause there is no hunger and no craving for sweets. Keep it up!
So encouraging! Once I'm not donating plasma, I can start intermittent fasting. Thank you for sharing!
@@loiscashner6567 you are so right about there being no hunger. I am on day 6 of 30 IF 16:8 and 18:6. I thought I would be starving. I am IF to calm my high levels of inflammation in my body.
And the month of fasting Ramazan is coming we will fast 18 hours or 16 hour
I am a 73 year old female who has eaten one meal a day since I was 15 years old. I almost never felt hungry. The problem was that I was drinking sugar laced tea nonstop throughout the day. I was recently diagnosed as insulin resistant but I do NOT have diabetes, but i'm at stage 3 kidney disease. Thanks to Dr. Fung ( who speaks so anyone can understand ) I finally understand my sugar problem and what to do about it. Thank you to CrossFit for showing us the video.
Simple Rule 4 of Touchworld Protocol probably helps your condition. The info is available on www.touchworld.org The entire world is looking for sugar or plasma glucose, looks like everyone is mislead and the definition of TRUE DIABETES needs to be understood. Hope it helps.
@@dogood4461- Thanks. I got rid of my Insulin Resistance by cutting back drastickly on my sugar intake AND by doing intermittent fasting. I am NOT pre-diabetic nor am I diabetic of any stage. I also do NOT have a fatty liver. For me it was just about getting rid of the garbage that I was eating.Turns out, I am actually quite healthy. The Touchworld theory is VERY out of date with today's knowledge.

I love this guy I've been fasting I just eat one meal a day I've lost 45 started at 220 now 176 save a lot of money on food and I'm wearing close that haven't fit for years
@Mike Pearson I try to eat as healthy as possible but still cheat once in a while a lot of vegetables I like big salads and steak ,seafood I don't eat many carbs no sugar and no sodas eat till full or you will want snack.
Randy Williamson I for one love the amount of food I no longer use. Along with all the other benefits.
Makes no sense to deprive yourself of one of life's greatest enjoyments Ecc 8 : 15 Niv bible . Just learn how to eat right cut out all the junk that's why you got fat . Its whole grains , fruit/ veg as well as whole dairy , fish , turkey chicken . Cut out the pork , lunch meats a little red meat and you will lose weight and stabilize .
bible bill Lol, not depriving ourselves. I eat and drink everything under the sun that I want to eat. The difference is I eat to live not live to eat. So I am very happy!
Yea you are if your fasting all the time . Also , it's both you eat to live and live to eat . Again Ecc 7: 8 Ecc 8 : 15 Niv bible
I just started doing what this man is teaching. I’ve been doing it for 1 month and I’m down 13 pounds.
Thank you, I have struggled with weight for years (up and down). My doctors would always reject my complaints and assume I'm the fault. Thankfully I'm working with a great group of clinicians, and they made the same recommendation. I’m down 40 lbs in 6 months!!
So sad a lot of people do not know or believe this.
Lots of people are listening and believing, but there is a huge difference between believing and doing it, unless it is life threatening people are not going to do it.
@@gshrdy5415 Being overweight is life threatening. But you are right that people don't want to feel hungry for more than a few minutes.

its so easy once you do it too.

I am a herbalist over 25years years and vegetarian. I suggest your books too all my clients. Intermittent fasting, herbs, lots of water and healthy food has helped all my clients. Thank you for educating all of us.
I just finished a 72hour water fast! I have been doing intermittent fasting and I’ve fasted for 36 hours before but pushing to 72 hours was a little more difficult than I thought. But it is definitely all in your mind and the mind is very powerful! Staying optimistic and researching about fasting and reading my Bible really helped me push through! They say it gets easier after 48 hours and it did! But the “feeling like crap” feeling still would come in waves. I just rode the waves as best as I could. I suppose it might be easier for someone who lives alone but I am a mother of 2 young children and a wife. So having to prepare meals for them etc made it a little bit more difficult. I’m also breastfeeding my youngest child which I tried to stop while I was fasting but I still nursed him in the morning and evenings. On the last day I wasn’t even hungry but my husband had bought cheesecake (shame on him) and it was literally talking to me from the fridge. I was thinking about pushing to 86 hours but I couldn’t resist. Of course I didn’t eat the cheesecake right away. I broke my fast with 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar diluted in water with a probiotic supplement. 30 min later I made a smoothie with half a banana, a small apple, kefir, coconut milk, coconut water, and a few blueberries, spinach, and monk fruit sweetener. Then an hour later I had chicken soup with vegetables. Then I had the cheesecake. Just a TINY piece! I felt great just very tired from digestion. Then a couple hours later I had a nice solid poop. Sorry if that’s TMI lol but it’s true. And I’ve read about people having diarrhea after breaking their fast. Now about 4 hours after all of that I’m feeling clean, detoxed, strong, and vibrant! I also did Pilates during the fast but nothing too intense. I lost 7 pounds and drank Lots of water with Celtic salt. Oh yeah, and I took a calcium, magnesium, and zinc supplement. Now I might go back to OMAD or 18:6 I’m not sure yet. That’s it. I hope this helps. Happy fasting😊
Im on day 6 fast. Only have cup of yoghurt every other day and apple cider vinegar and 3 cloves of garlic daily

@@skywatchers9675 that’s amazing! Nice job! Maybe I’ll try that. I’m trying to do a 7 day fast but have been finding it extremely difficult. I keep trying and failing to make it to 7 days.
@@ayishacalderon9388 my fasting came about accidentally, due to having dire scenarios in life that meant having to survive with nothing. Then married a god awful cook, so eating that crap was very unappealing and would refuse it, and eventually got rid of her. I'm so very grateful now haha. I keep it going now out of habit. Eating just doesn't really appeal to me anyway, the act makes me feel a bit sick after so much, then just can't be bothered making anything half the time. I can just keep going, even aged 52, no problem, ride a bike on the back wheel like a young kid, climb trees, the whole lot. My body knows when it needs food, and it knows what kind of food too, unfortunately it's sometimes sugar, but hey, we all need some vice. Got to admit to loving carbs, it quietens me down, and gives restful sleep. Too long without carbs and I can get nasty.
@@MHLivestreams Yeah, I noticed you got a bit nasty in the middle of that rant.
From marrying a 'god awful cook' to 'eventually got rid of her'. Nasty. So was the idea you left all the cooking to her. Surely you married her for more than cooking? Maybe she didn't want to live with a fat carb-eating man? Nor a nasty low-carb nerd unable to own his own temper? Sounds like you need to take care of your nutrition yourself. Kick the carbs, eat more fruit'n'veg, less meat but more pulses etc for protein, & become a nicer person inside'n' out. Try it and see....
Fasting is the easiest and simplest way to keep your whole body in balance. I do 18:6 almost everyday.
I discover this guy about 2 yrs ago. I followed his suggestions and I lost 80 lbs!!! Thank you, Dr. Fung...
That’s amazing!! Well done. Have you been able to keep it off? I’ve just discovered this and I’m just finishing up my first week. I can’t believe the difference it has made to my mood, mental clarity & patience. Im hoping this is going to be life changing for me as well.
An honorable doctor. Such a fine, fine human being.
Now I understand why my appetite dissipated after 3 days fasting. Baffled me! Your humor makes the message so listenable. Thank you.
The most amazing benefit I had from fasting was financial. I save so much on my grocery bill due to fasting. 😀 😂 😀
HE SAID IT! 😲I don't say it out loud anymore because people get upset...but the last thing that the cancer industry wants is to find a simple cure. That would be killing the golden goose...

The American "health care" system is not about curing people, preventing disease, but in making big money by treating symptoms and managing diseases.
Finally started taking Dr. Fung’s advice and I lost 20 pounds in 5 weeks. I’m not hungry and I don’t crave sugar anymore. Easiest weight loss method I’ve tried so far. Thank you Dr. Fung!
What is your fasting schedule and exercise schedule
How often do you eat and what do you eat?
I do a lot of 42 hour fasts with short refeeding windows like Dr. Fung recommends. I also have done a few 72 hour fasts. If I’m not doing an extended fast, I try to just eat dinner. As far as what I eat, mostly just meat and vegetables. I do have keto cookies and keto bread sometimes though, but not every day! I hope that helps! Down 31 pounds now!
@@parsonsaj89 thank you. That was helpful.
The not-hungry is the amazing part. I wish everyone would at least try it.

YES Dr. Fung harnessed with life saving information helped millions of people . I had my very serious LIFE and DEATH Crisis way back in the early and late 80s way before the internet was even born so I had no choice but to get my hands on books that just knew about natural human health and how to recover from such Life and Death issues in ones life .

For if I did not find and then read their books taking massive action in my life back then from all that I ad learned then I am convinced that I would have surely been Dead at that time and event in my life . Thank You for reading my short health bio event that I learned from and still do today . Kindest Regards Holistic Chef Barry Anderson

He's helped thousands of people as evidenced by all of the positive comments about people who have totally reversed T2DM, lost tons of weight, feel younger and be more healthier overall; he's the only person/CZcamsr that I watch in totality to the end.

This man is an absolute genius
There was no obesity back in the 60’s and 70’s. People ate real food. My grandma lived to 98 years old, never ate processed foods ever. She was healthy as a horse.
Mine made it to 90. Ate butter and milk straight from the cow and fried their bread in bacon fat.
@@garbonratslayer1387 my great grandmother lived to 94 in Mexico, she drank two cokes a day and ate home made tortillas with meat everyday. On the other hand, my grandmother is 70 and is worn down to all hell, she eats crap and I do not think she will make it another 3 years.
Unfortunately obesity has been around and long before the 60s and into our times. A Roman physician recorded treating clinical cases of morbid obesity. Roman idealism however encouraged not being morbidly fat, just fat enough to demonstrate wealth. Medieval historians believe the period prized being fat as it demonstrated wealth and power. It goes on and on. Although it’s considered as more prevalent now I suppose because of the creation of fake/junk food manufacturing ramping up in 50s.
There was obesity in the 60 & 70's. I was adopted into a family where extended 50% of relatives were all overweight. They all ate healthy. I was the skin & bones cousin. Slowly over 50 yrs I gained till I'm 50 pounds over. By watching several Drs. Videos I've realized we all developed a pattern of eating that we thought was healthy by eating several small meals a day, even so called healthy snacks. I know I grazed all day. If I'd wake up hungry at 2 am I'd eat something then too. This has become a way of eating fir many people. I even remember Drs telling me if you feel hungry, eat. I know now much more research has been done in dietetics & nutrition. This knowledge is what has been missing for everyone to make informed decisions.
I watched a video someone put out on TikTok or one of those sites. It was a comparison of the people inside a McDonald's he worked in back in the early 80's. He had gone in on a day off showing off his fancy new recorder and everyone, workers and customers, were ALL a healthy weight. He did a new recording nearly thirty years later, and my god, the difference was striking. Almost everyone, workers and customers, were overweight, compared to how folks were decades ago.
I finally got here and started intermittent fasting a few days ago. Feeling great. It’s so much easier then I thought. Thanks Dr Fung.
Healing daily🙌 Tammy
So far it has been easy. 18:6 is not as hard as I thought it would be.
Thank God for Dr. Fung. My Dad suffered with diabetes for so many years. Before his death he was on 11 meds, half were to correct side affects for the other half. I wish I would of know this previously.
I been doing IF for almost 2 weeks already lost 11 lbs and am pain free completely from all my inflammation. This truly is amazing way to live.
What plan are you on? Congrats! Are you doing keto with the IF? Or just IF?
Me too. I’ve been doing it (IF followed more recently by OMAD) and lost 12lb in 6 weeks which for me is amazing.
Congrats and well done!! I've been doing IF since October last year. Started with 16:8 for 1 month, then 20:4 and OMAD (twice a week). Low carb, quit sugar. Lost 9kg (from 62.5kg).
i dont understand why i havent lost a single pound in 8 weeks and have gained weight with my belly bigger. how did you make sure you were eating enough calories? i think thats my downfall, eating too little. maybe my body is holding on to fat because its not getting enough? im really confused right now.
@@chippylover99 Which one are you doing, 16:8, 20:4, or OMAD? I'm no expert but can give you a bit of info from my own experience. Try to eat the same time everyday if you can. My first meal of the day is 2pm when I do 20:4 (for 4 months straight) and last meal is 6pm. I do work in the office so I bring my own food and eat both meals at work. Pick the right timing that suit you. I eat very little carbs (a bite or 2 if needed) but lots of veggies and I make sure to include a lot of good fat or natural fat in every meal and I eat 2 boiled eggs with salt everyday. I make sure to mix up callories each day. Don't eat too little or too much. Do eat a good amont of iodined salts as well. IF is not about calories, it's about fat burning. I lost more weight doing OMAD for only 2 weeks so I stopped and now I'm just on 16:8 and occasionnally OMAD to maintain my current weight. Good luck! You can do it.
Honestly, this video is probably the biggest contribution by CrossFit to the wide world. Not everyone can do CrossFit but everyone can skip 1 meal or more regularly.
“Sad to understand that the profession that you have chosen is not really helping people” I’ve been an RN for may years now. I just can’t anymore…….

Wonderful!!!!
We always try and force children to eat when they don’t want to. We even punish them when they don’t finish their dinner and bribe them with addictive sugary junk we call treats to get them hooked on food.
Its really sad how that's forced into the minds of children to make anew generation of diseases (obesity, heart problems etc)
Wish people would educate themselves more
I'm guilty of telling my kids to finish their dinner. I haven't done that in a long time once I became enlightened
@@ashleyandalanstonerock2413 me too...when my son wants to skip breakfast Iet it go now whereas before I didn't
But they come back later talking about they are hungry
That why we only give our kids a small plate. And if they want more they can ask but most of the time they struggle to finish what's in that small plate.
I love listening to this during my walks - even more so during a fasted state! 🤗
Dr. Fung has helped me not only reach my weight goal after failing for years, but I also have a lot more energy (like too much lol)! I'm 53, feel like a teenager again, and wear a size 1or 3 in jeans. It's like a dream, come true, a rebirth into youth. Thank you!!!! I also enjoy and appreciate food a lot more when it's time to eat, and have realized that we need to eat to live, not live to eat!

GetMeThere1 Big Pharma will never let that happen.
Muslims knew this 1400 years ago. They fast one day and one day not and they fast Ramadan, whole month every day and the month shabaan 15 days. Islam says the worst and baddest gallon to fill is your belly. And some muslims fasts dry fasting every Monday and Thursday. But unfortunately lot muslims are brainwashed too by the food industry so the brake fasting with bad food and a lot of carbohydrates. So muslims know this and the West knows this since 2008 by some researchers and online by Jason Fung
I pray he is safe in what he is doing. Way too many Drs. have been killed for bringing for truth
Retired and happy Exactly, and big sugar.
actually, people have been fasting since Old Testament days and of course Jesus fasted.

My nephrologist recommended this video after he gave me a simple IF fasting schedule to start with. My CKD Stage 3b is due to having neurosarcoidosis. I was always VERY slim but started gaming weight due to 40mg of daily prednisone. By the time I was weaned down to a smaller dose of steroids, I was older. Age & weight loss is hard. I have already lost 10 pounds and now I am finally watching this to get more info. This is incredible. I've tried IF before but was doing it all wrong. I want to thank my wonderful nephrologist!
