I AM A SURGEON FROM INDIA AND I ACCEPT AND VOUCH FOR EVERY SINGLE WORD DR FUNG SAID.
Thank you!!! 🤗
WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING
WHY ARE WE ALL YELLING!
Because not enough doctors do
Thank you for this comment!
I am on day 2 of a 5 day fast, been intermittent fasting and eating Ketovore for the past year I lost 140lbs. Went from 425 to 285lbs
Im jealous lol. Keep up the great work.
OMG congrats! I am trying to loose 70 pounds. You are a success!
You are fasting for 5 days?!!!!
Bravo🌷
I got a Nordictrack and started eating more protein. I have lost 40 pounds since February 2020, but I have gained 15 pounds of muscle. I have to allow myself to binge eat once or twice a month; other than that, I have no particular diet program other than protein supplementation and a high protein diet. Congrats on your weight loss buddy. It sure feels food to FEEL good!
I went on a 7 day water fast after reviewing Dr. Fung’s videos and seeing my doctor. I’m 64 years old with type 2 diabetes. I am 6’2 and 253 at the start. I lost 14 pounds and my glucose levels were normal. I then went to intermittent fasting only eating one plant based meal. I lost an additional 20 pounds over a 30 day period. Tested in normal range with no meds or insulin. No negative side effects. Thanks
Great job . Congrats 👏👏
I'm right behind you. Thanks
Sounds great but def consider adding a decent amount of red and white meat as you have GOT TO increase your protein as you age, you can learn from Dr Gabrielle Lyon for this, and bear in mind also that plant protein isn’t ‘seen’ as much by muscle it really does make a difference ..
@@willcook403 the meat here in Italy is full of hormones . The EUropean UNION has a new protein meal for us , insects .
When I did intermittent fasting in the past, I didn’t know about Dr G Lyon yet. She advises consuming 30-50 g protein (leucine) per meal to build sk muscle. Total protein per day is 1 gram protein per pound of ideal body weight. I was eating 2 meals per day and my daily fast was 14-16 hours, and breakfast was the meal I eliminated. While my diet was healthy (fish, veggies, complex carbs, protein), the #g of animal protein I consumed was nowhere near 150 grams, as far as sk muscle is concerned. As a consequence, I lost muscle mass so there’s less sk muscle to burn calories consumed, and my weight went up and I put on much belly fat. This is why I’m wondering if intermittent fasting and consuming that much protein will only work the way it’s supposed to, in an older person, if that person is lifting some weights, doing resistance training, and some cardio. I’m 67 years old.
i was 350 lbs 2 year ago , juste started drinking water and 1 meal a day , 2 year later im 165 lbs
wow, amazing stuff. What happened with ur skin though?
That's great. I gained weight eating once a day (OMAD diet).
@@Mujahadeen87 im 223 year old so i have a little bit of strech mark on the side but i came back as normal ! tight like a kid
@@EEEBA1 the water is the big secret
Good job Jacobezz TV , you’re exactly right. I lost 50lbs in 4.5 months doing the same thing except 30min every day on a bow flex trainer, which is a cross between a stair stepper and an elliptical machine, because I wanted to speed up the weight loss. I might add I’m 51yrs old. I went from 216lbs to 165lbs. Height 5’8”. What I learned is the question you ask yourself is “how bad do you want it”. My excuse was I drive a semi 12 hrs a day 5days a week and I’m sooo tired when I get home. Then I asked myself that question. Apparently I wanted it bad enough.
I’ve never been into any of these doctors writing books and pushing an agenda. But I desperately bought “the diabetes code” for my dad whose health was spiraling due to Type 2 diabetes. He is now a former diabetes, no metformin, no insulin. And no, he didn’t make any other significant changes aside from diet. Thank you to this brilliant man!
How's your dad's health now?
@@Memento__Mori hi! Just got a notification from my post from a year ago! My dad is doing amazing still, he’s walking more these days, still off diabetic meds - he’s starting to eat some carbs here and there but very rarely - still holding strong!
@@networthassoc2006 how long your dad have been dealing with diabetes ?
What is his diet plan ?
@@eveldedieu8007 he’s been a diabetic for 30 years. Right at the start of the pandemic, we got the book and got on a modified keto diet. You can grab the book or listen to any one of Dr Fung’s podcasts
@@networthassoc2006 thanks for sharing this inspirational story, I'm on the same train, but fighting my mom's doctor who scares her with hypoglycemia etc. Did you get your dad's doctor on board to do this? my mom is also with metformin. thanks!
I'm 5'6" and weighed 205 lbs. As a diabetic my A1C was 9.5. At the time I was taking Metformin and two forms of Insulin. I saw Dr Fung's videos on intermittent fasting and decided to give it a try. In 6 months, I lost 20 lbs and my A1C went down to 7.5. Subsequently sfter 2.5 years, my A1C was under 6 and I had lost over 40 lbs and reduce my Insulin by more than half. I also no longer take metformin.
Good work! My patient lost 40 pounds over 14 months, through caloric restriction- without increase in exercise. Off all diabetes drugs, except semaglutide which helps him to keep caloric restriction tolerable. Reversed diabetes and prediabetes. Music to my ears as a physician. Chasing bad food with drugs is not a solution. Food can be medicine or a poison
Excellent 👍. You did amazing . Congrats 👏👏
😊
Awesome. Envy your progress! Good job!
Food is medicine! Such a great point, cookies and broccoli, it’s a clear choice on how it’s going to affect your weight loss! A calorie is not a calorie when you compare it that way!
Dr Jason Fung deserves a Nobel Peace prize for all he has accomplished!!
So True 👍
I agree!
AMEN! 🥰
Hopefully
Yes 👍🏽 indeed !!!!!
I’m a pharmacist and biochemist ( Brazil and it was the first time that I see a doctor described perfectly with integrity about pharma, diets ... incredible interview.
God bless you!! Dr Jason is the BEST!! Now they found a different think to disappeared us !! Plandemia 😆 Love 💕 Dr Jason 💕♥️💕
@@bellaperuana64 Jason Fung lies about cancer. But if he didn't, this video would be censored. It is the second most protected topic in the mainstream media. Truth is completely censored out.
Read his book, it one of the best book to read if you care about your health.
dr Suzanne Humphries quit treating people the medi sin way.
!
When the example of two doctors giving two different views .. the question was presented as to which doctor should we listen to ? The answer .. look at their patients .. RESULTS are EVERYTHING !! Dr. Jason Fung will WIN EVERYTIME !!! ✨
37:16
As a physician all I talk about is weight loss with my patients. The whole society needs to change its views on the obesity epidemic. It is not fat shaming. The less meds someone needs/ rely on the better
Thank you for your integrity and idealism and ethics. We need more doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists,etc. like you.
My mother was a nurse back in the early 70's through the late 00's. She observed a complete turn around of the medical profession from trying to work with patients on a nutritional level and get them to improve eating habits and stop bad habits, smoking and excessive drinking and adding exercise. They did this before offering medication which was used as a last resort. She watched this go from that to prescribing drugs after a first visit without much or any mention of health. So, after a doctors career he will leave behind thousands of patients who are taking drugs for the rest of their lives, and many who have gotten worse and worse.
@David Clapham I read somewhere else of this work,also that such was the beginning of cancer?certainly other factors as well but one has to wonder.Will check it out...wondering if it the specific sort of EMFs vs the other suppressed trch(Tesla)ones that would not harm...I'm only wondering I have no background in these disciplines....but once can always learn...if they protect their cranium...
Lauren Bales I wish more were like you. I struggle with weight (I have PCOS) overall I try to eat well and ride to work. But even doing that I’m still chubby, I have spoken to several doctors and only 1 has told me to try to lose weight, and that was a very tentative discussion. Thankfully I haven’t had any of these diseases yet, my grandfather had diabetes so that is why I keep struggling.
I have a sugar addiction . I have become obsessed with these kinder hazelnut chocolate balls from Europe. I eat about 40 a day. They taste so incredibly delicious that each bite is heavenly. I also don’t really eat much else. I don’t know what to eat. I’m about 50 pounds overweight. I’m not gaining but I’m not losing and now I’ve been having problems with my eyes and I always has perfect eyesight. And I’m dizzy a lot. I fear I may be diabetic. Last blood test I had showed I was prediabetic.
I’d like to stop eating sugar. But then I get depressed and feel what happiness do I have? I don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol ever, don’t take any drugs legal or illegal, so I have nothing but my chocolates . So I said what if I just eat the chocolates on weekends . This way I have all week to eat healthy and on the weekend I can have my bag of mini chocolate eggs to enjoy. But is that healthy ? I don’t know if I can even discipline myself to eat them only weekends. I need help.
This interview changed my life. Since I watched this five months ago, I've lost almost 70 lbs following Dr. Fung's methods. I bought his books, binge watched his videos and now, I'm off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis in my foot and ankle is so much better, I don't need steroid injections and I'm back to being active and swimming again. Thank you Patrick and bless you Dr. Fung! 😘
That’s so wonderful! Keep up the good work!
Excellent, if I may, epsom salt baths work wonders for aches and pains, the magnesium heals
@@ZariaLuvs1D Thanks! We just have a shower but I do epsom salt foot soaks. Ahhhhh😊.
If you look at Ancient Minerals oil (it will replace the Epsom baths) just by rubbing on the skin for the magnesium (excellent to rub on arthritic pain also).
The Epsom salts, it’s the sulfur that is interesting too. Just research MSM as supplements.
Congratulations to recover your health ❤️
@@moniquefavorites6691 Thank you! I will look into those
OMAD and water fasting from Sundays to Mondays, eating on Tuesdays (48 hours)is now my lifestyle. I don't weigh myself but use my clothes to measure how much I am losing. From size 12-14, I am now wearing 10-12 and even that is becoming too loose for me. This is my 21st day. No workouts, no exercise except cleaning my house and garage everyday. Thank you Dr. Fung!
wow cool
I appreciate Dr. Fung - the first time I actually had sucess losing weight when other Dr.s were railing against him. Thanks for having him on. I was 480 now close to 300 and steadily going down with good health.
Wow, 480 is big. Good luck losing the rest of it.
@@saltshakere.coastdivision6963 I wish you lots of luck in your endeavor.
Great job Marilyn! I'm so proud of you! So glad you found something that works and is healthy and glad that you trust your own judgement and research over doctors who don't know better.
@@leaannsavage2231 Thank you.
@Marilyn Anderson. Congratulations! You must be thrilled to see that weight falling off. Such a confidence boost.

The world is isn't that big. If Shobhana said she used to work with Dr Fung, and refers him because he cares. Thank you Shobhana.
It's great to see a doctor who gets it! It's been a while since I've seen one that gets diet, fasting, diabetes relationships.
Kudos to you, Dr. Fung.
Stay safe!

The gentleman listening to Dr. Fung is attentive, respectful, patient, and courteous. It’s a crying shame that he is the exception in most talk / guest videos.
No crying shame, if he sees the liberal democrats destroying America he will talk against it on talk shows…
Pppq
He was improved. He used to cut off his guests and people complained.
And his questions are really good
@@sobc2737 Well, not a bad thing. It proves that he understands what is told to him.
I saw his advice and followed it. In the last consultation, my a1c was normal and I was in hospital last year. He has literally saved my life.
I wish someone would have told my husband about this great information.
nice. my weight is what it was when I was 20. The last 20lbs was mainly from the fasting.
@@dlg1776 buy him the Dr.Fung’s book
Congratulations! Good for you. I recently started following Dr. Fung’s advice. He makes complete sense!!

I do all of these things for over 4 years...he’s 100%
Changed my life.
How did you deal with the brain fatigue and sleep?
@@macatSkye fatigue went away after the first month. I have more energy than ever and I have zero issues with sleep. If anything I can stay up longer now. But I don’t recommend that, good night sleep is important.
I can’t say it’s 100% for everyone. But it improved almost every aspect of my body. Blood pressure is perfect and so is my health.
Also I weigh exactly the same as I did 4 years ago. Only now my abs show daily...so it’s not just a weight thing. I’m fighting inflammation.
I'm a third year medical student - they don't teach this kind of stuff in medical school enough. Luckily I had a strong interest in metabolic health/metabolic disease before going into medical school, and have been reading literature in this field for quite a while. Fellow med students and physicians - we have to educate ourselves beyond what we simply learn in school! Time restricted eating as well as focusing on foods that spike insulin less - these are tools that will have a far greater long term impact than any diabetes drug ever could.
I like your attitude. Try and stay a free thinker like this as you progress through your career, sometimes corporate pressures can alter this, try and stay true..
Medical schools get a lot of money from big pharma. That is their incentive not to teach this.
Listen...you had to do all that study to find what I knew as a child.... The system is based on feast famine...a very simple system...
@@richardlawson6787Currently doing 'Alternate Day Fasting' (feast/fast/repeat...); with 40 hour fasting window.
What you might find helpful: Diseased states are caused by either/and/or a combination of: Deficiencies; Excess; Pathogens; Toxicity, and Stress (chemical-, physical-& emotional) - including lack of Deep Restorative Sleep... (Remember mnemonic DEPTS).
Besides for the excessive indulgence pointed out; when on a diet of refined, processed foods; developing cancer seems closely linked to microbiome disturbance/destruction, through for example antibiotic glyphosate, as well as prescription antibiotics; also harmful, toxic additives added to beverages, foods, personal products, medications - including in some supplements and vaccines, etc. Sugar also does not burn as clean (as ketones); thereby leaving much waste products to clear.
Then there's Cholesterol deficiency caused by agents like vegetable seed-oils and prescribed statin drugs; this in combination with a low fat diet, and inadequate sun exposure; leading to lowered production of Vit D, and thereby inhibited immunity. Studies had proven that both statins and seedoils can also induce Diabetes.
This guy is the man. I read his book years ago, what he says is absolute truth in this regard.
Yes and its true. I follow his advice and now i can do trailrunning.
@@trailrunning11vlog my Chiropractor told me that trait
Dr. Fung is not only an amazing doctor, but an amazing human being, as well!!
True. He is a game changer and thank god for him and his love for other human beings. How the greed for money is pushing medics and drug companies to klll people with drugs is unbelievable.
Eating eggs vs cookie ,eggs make you feel not empty inside. Where after a poptart makes you just want more. Where good snacks make you feel sustained and end hunger pangs. Cookies just make you want more carbs
Dr. Fungi is an intelligent and nice looking man.
@@cathyjoenganje3978 The other unbelievable thing is how they think nothing of it.
Dr Fung, Dr Ken Berry, Dr Robert Lutwig, all deserve a Nobel Prize! Look at the lives that could of been saved and the health people could of enjoyed! ❤️🙏
Include Ben bikman
Dr. Eckburg..... So many keto doctors as of late and they all look healthy.
Instead they give Nobel prizes to charletons like Tony Fauci, a loser.

You forgot Dr. Sarah Hallberg
Dr Fung helped me reverse my diabetes. He is one of the first people I listened to when I decided to not be diabetic any longer. Fasting and low carb opened up a whole new life for me! Thanks Dr Fung!
Yeeees! Been on omad (one meal a day) for the past 3 years,Im telling you not only I returned to my optimal weight but Im in the best shape Ive ever been. I feel great!
Ωραίος!
When do you eat
This is the first doctor I have ever seen who even mentions the link between nutrition & health - work out, eat mostly protein, little to no carbs cut out the processed crap ( wonder bread, cakes, fruit juices, sugary cereals ) well done 🔥
This whole work out stuff is soooo silly ..exercise simply means to move ..rake some leaves ..clean your house ..take dogs for walks ..if your active you get plenty of exercise in a typical day ...and if you paint houses like me you really get a good workout
@@richardlawson6787 Not really. Those things won't help you maintain / develop muscles. But they are better than sitting on a couch binge watching Hogan's Heroes reruns.
check out Dr. Sten Ekberg….he very articulately explains the physiology going on in the body concerning food….very informative and interesting
There's others like Ken Berry, David Unwin, Gary Fettke, Ben Bikman, and Nadir Ali...
I started intermittent fast 7 weeks ago and I’ve lost 35 pounds already.
I’m a 55 yr old postmenopausal disabled female who was raised basically eating some form of pasta 5 plus days a week. I can honestly say I have not been hungry. I was horrified when I discovered 78% of the hospitalizations from COVID were obese! I hope this comment encourages someone to give it a try. I know it’s cliché but it’s true, if I can do this anybody can do it!
Thanks for the motivation. Will start tomorrow in shaa Allah.
Wow. Thank you for sharing. I'm seriously going to do the fasting. I'm thankful that my husband is on board with fasting as well. We don't eat bad. I mainly cook our meals. But we love cheese and ice cream. I especially am happy eating a good sourdough with butter. We both need a jump to our hormones- fasting will help. I know I can do it. I've already been eating fruit for breakfast and my last meal about 2 or 3pm. Really because of acid reflux. I feel better when I eat before 5pm. But I get hungry at night but have ignored the hunger pangs and it's easier for me now. Your experience is encouraging.
I'm post menopausal too. I wish we can communicate directly. I'm afraid to leave my email. I wonder if we contacted valuetainment if he would be our go between.
@@hajarahamza4760 how are you doing today?
Is there any way you’d be willing to talk to me about your experience

I’m ready to try IF again combined w low carb but would love to hear more of your story
Thank yiu
Dr. Fung is amazing, he really cares about people and Heath !! I've been following him for years.
Very true
I read the book by Dr. Jason Fung 'The diabetes code' 3 years ago and started adopting all the recommendation along with IF. Today I am completely diabetes free, no medications. Added benefit I got I got rid of hypertension as well. Thank you doctor Fung I am indebted to you.
Finally a doctor talking about diet! Real talk. It’s all diet. Food is medicine. Much love Patrick!
diet, exercise, sleep and mental hygiene
Who is Patrick.
He is Jason
With Respect from OZ, Great interview and another great honest genuine doctor. Intermitent fasting, fasting has been around from decades that I can vouch for, but unfortunately, USA Rothschilds destroy real health and introducted petroleum based 'medicine' and the world got sick. Pity it only took USA figures as the rest of the world lived longer than USA, maybe we know more about hygience , seems like the none 5 eyes countries knew more about health, and that may be because they believed in a creator so lived close to nature. Blessings,
Medicine is food. Thank you
I have been listening to Jason Fung since 2017 lost 60 lbs. felt amazing and I was a conqueror. This man knows what he’s talking about.
I re-watched the whole video and have to say Dr. Fung has to be the most courageous, articulate and common sense minded person in health care that can change the lives of the world for the better if they get this information and TRY it. Phenomenal information that can dramatically reduce the cost of health care and prolong lives for virtually free. Patrick's ability to ask the questions we all want to ask and get the answers we can't get anywhere else professionally and courteously deserves the highest reward. I thank you both along with the highest regards!
💯
The big change in the 1970s was the approval of high fructose corn syrup as a food additive by the FDA. From there the epidemic of insulin resistance arose.
You are absolutely correct , it's all FDA APPROVED THEY ARE AFFILIATED WITH PHARMACEUTICAL ORGANIZATIONS
And possibly even lobbied for by big pharma towards the fda. That way they can sell their diabetes medicines and other drugs to deal with curing the symptoms of the issues and not the root cause.
I read everything looking for high fructose corn syrup. Great idea. Right-on. !
True
Even now you don’t see a big change
The American government introduced this to stimulate the economy at the time
I read 2 of Dr. Fung’s fasting books. It’s actually pretty simple but extremely effective.
Is coffee/water etc allowed?
@@colinsimon777 depends on how strict. The book says black coffee or green tea is fine. Some purists say only water

“Thats the mental clarity of starvation”
Im 25hrs into my fast and i can testify. My brain fog is non existent and i am full of energy. Thank u Dr Fung. Im already down 15.6lb in 3weeks by doing 18:6 IF and Clean Keto (OMAD) , down 4.5inches off my waistline. Im amazed.
Fasting works.Fasting is good for inflammation as well.
You know what else is good for inflammation? Eating food that does not contribute to it
Fasting induces autophagy & clears defective DNA/Protein from your body. Fasting is far superior to Keto.
.After a huge Christmas meal, I had terrible joint pain so I fasted for 5 days and after the fast I ate no meat. The pain didn't return. A few times I ate red meat and it came back so that I knew the meat was causing the pain. I stay away from meat. Occasionally I have a little chicken and I'm ok. I fast intermittently.
@@juditharsenault2131 yes meat and animal products are very very inflammatory.im glad you feel better

I met a woman who worked for a pharmaceutical company and she said she had to quit despite the money because it was so gross. She said every board meeting they had was how to get new demographics for a drug; how to make more profit. They never once discussed side affects, effectiveness, or anything.
Is anyne even slightly surprised about this?
@@ArtLoverScotland not really. But hearing it from the horse's mouth kinda puts a stamp on it.

Dr Fung is so honest, he is such a blessing. What he shares about the corruption in the drug company industry with doctors is disgusting. like he said, lets use common sense, not because they are doctors, they have our best interest all the time, what a blessing to have access to his knowledge and honesty. thanks for this great interview!
@Ahopefulsysan
Dr. Fung is totally A Blessing! And very COURAGEOUS.
Stop eating anything by 8 pm and don’t eat anything until 12 noon next day. This is a good start to intermittent fasting, I found.
so that's "skip breakfast".
@@katehenry2718 and breakfast is not the most important meal of the day as we were told for many years.
@@katehenry2718 depends what time you get up. If you want to eat from 8am, then eat at 8am, your 8hr fast window would stop at 4pm. Most people can manage the 16/8 fast easily. 8-4, 9-5, 10-6, and so on. An 8r eating window. I do 11-7 and if I’m up earlier, I drink herbal tea or coffee until 11. It’s not hard.
@@squarepeg9484 or a bullet proof coffee if you want to keep your weight
@@rachidramdani6336 , yes, break the fast w bullet proof coffee after noon. Personally, I drink black coffee mid or late morning, then break the fast with an avocado. Eat it w a spoon. Feels great.
I have followed Dr.Jason Fung's advice. I have lost over 30 kilograms (66 pounds) after failing to lose weight through other methods. I do intermittent fasting almost every day, and keep a prolonged fast for about 42 hours twice a month. It's been over 2 years since I first started some form of fasting and things have been great. I am no longer obese, I feel energetic, and my mind is focused.
Fasting helps with controlling the amount of calories your taking in! You have lost weight due to being in a calorie deficit, and fasting helped you be in a calorie deficit. Fasting is fantastic to help control the amount of calories you consume in a day, but please don’t be fooled, calories in and calories out is the main reason for your weight loss! And congratulations on the weight loss that’s fantastic!
@@healthy1hundred501 He lost weight because he got his calories from his body fat.
@@healthy1hundred501 yes but no, prolonged daily calorie deficit will mess up your metabolism.
@Mark Sesum that’s exactly my point, that you can fast and still be in a calorie surplus and if you’re in a calorie surplus you’re not going to lose weight! And he absolutely did talk about calories in calories out.
@@ant208 I absolutely agree, that’s why I did re-feed throughout the process, plus lifting weights and eating enough protein will keep you from losing muscle and possibly gaining muscle which will also help with your metabolism.
I can personally attest to what this doctor is saying, I have been following him for a few years, I have been intermittent fasting for approximately four years. Perhaps in the beginning when you begin the fast yes you’ll have some fatigue, and brain fog however in a short period of time all of that goes away. It’s amazing I’m going to be 52 and I actually feel like I’m in my 20s again
It’s so true when he talks about Drs being clueless about nutrition. They spend almost no time on it during their entire training. Talk about missing the boat completely.
As a disclaimer, they always have to say: “Consult your doctor before starting this diet/fast/ etc….” Like what are they going to tell you???
@@le832 Exactly! ☝️
I'm a Nutritionist/Oriental Medicine practitioner because I went to a Registered Dietician to see what advice she'd give me about my sudden weight gain. She was about 350 # telling me that I can have Mac n cheese about the size of my fist. I knew more than her about diet and I hadn't even gone to school yet.
Dr Jason Fung is a hero of mine.. He and Dr Eric Berg saved my life! I am doing the keto diet plus intermittened fasting combined with going to the gym and I am burning fat like crazy..
How do u kno what ur keto macronutrients should be. I kno what to eat and what not. But I don’t understand how u kno what percentage the food u eat is. I get that it should be 70% 25% 5%. But that percent tells me nothing. How do u measure out ur food? And is it 70% or 75%. I see it diff ways.
Love them both! Amazing MDs
@@NXT_Nena you don’t need to do any of that. Just eat once or twice a day until comfortably full. No carbs or very low carbs!
My wife and I have been following Dr Berg with good results.
Lifetime Sugar Addiction had to be conquered before I could successfully Intermittently Fast. That took many years, beginning with eliminating Coke, then eliminating other sugary beverages, even concentrated OJ, then replacing all sugary fruit juices without all the nutritious pulp, with RO water. Then I learned to identify and eliminate Refined Food with hidden added sugars. THEN, after much struggle, I gave up candy, then all Refined Sugar and Refined Flour. I can expressly achieve any weight / BMI desired with Intermittent Fasting.
Dr Fung is such a humanitarian…. He is truly a doctor who wants his patients to get well and live healthy. Big pharm don’t like him but we love him and are proud he’s Canadian. Thank you Dr Fung.☮️🇨🇦

My husband went from pre diabetic to perfectly normal. His doctor asked how he did it!
He started with a fast for several days, only water, coffee, tea, cocoa and when he started eating again he totally cut out potatoes, rice, bread, cake, cookies, pastry and sugar. All wheat was out, oats were in. He lost about 45 pounds and never even felt hungry.
For breakfast there is porridge, a lot of fruit, but no bananas or pineapple.
For snacks I grind oats in a coffee bean grinder to make oat flour and with that you can make oat cakes, pancakes, brownies etc. I use equal amounts of oat flour and oat bran for all these and sweeten the cakes with Splenda or Zylitol or a little maple syrup sometimes.
For the oat cakes I use olive oil instead of butter and add lots of nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and also dried apricots.
So, for oatcake snacks my recipe is: 1 cup oats, 1 cup oat bran, 3 eggs, chopped nuts, chopped dried apricots, about 3 ounces olive oil, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon each ginger and nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon cloves . Pinch of iodized salt. Splenda to taste; I use about 3 tablespoons. Pour into a baking pan or cake tin, Bake as you would a cake , for about half an hour, cut in squares while warm. Cool and you can then freeze some.
Brownies are the same, but add half a cup of cocoa and additional half cup of water, so 1 1/2 cups water, and leave out the apricots and spices.
Main meals are some form of protein (meat, fish, etc) and mixed fresh veggies, usually about 5 different ones all cooked together, like carrots, broccoli, celery, cauliflower, spinach, cabbage. Really tasty on its own, sometimes with celery salt and za'atar sprinkled on during cooking if I do it as a stir fry. If you boil it, the water is a tasty drink.
For desserts we have fresh fruit salad with yogurt and sprinkled with oat cereal and ground nut cereal.
Then came a blood test which came back saying his platelets weren't right or something, he wasn't sure what this was all about, and he had to have a second test in 5 days.
So he took a teaspoon of Marmite every day and the next test came back perfect. The nurse asked what he did, and she said she would start eating Marmite! Lots of salt in it, so it is not for everyone.
We always buy Mornflake oats here in the UK, but there are good non GM oats in the USA too.
We just thank God that we are in our 70s and not on any meds at all.
I do the 10/16 One meal at times usually Wednesdays and Fridays this diet works very well for me. I run 3 miles every other day and I'm an avid cyclist, I love spaghetti, potatoes and healthy breads. My weight is balanced and I feel Great....Thank You for the recipes!

Totally agree with him. My mom came off of her insulin with diet alone. I am treating my cancer mostly by diet. Sugar feeds my cancer and makes me gain weight. I stay away from processed foods & sugars, I do so much better! Thanks for this post!
Hey I wish you the best but I do have a question... Do you still eat any fruit for the healthy sugar or do you just avoid processed sugar and fruit sugar all together? Thanks
//I am treating my cancer mostly by diet.//
Carrot juice won't cure your cancer. There's a limit of what good diet can do. Cancer cells don't give a damn if you eating right or not. However, a healthy diet can prevent and greatly reduce the chance of getting many types of cancer. Anyway, best of luck with your treatments, and hope you will be cancer free soon.
@@TheAcadianGuy how do you know?
@@carlbernngl Cancer cell and normal cell feed from the same thing. Explain to me the exact chemistry on how drinking carrot juice miraculously tell the cancer cell to self-destruct when your own immune system is incapable of doing that?

so many nurses I work with get so HANGRY, but I love working the full shift totally fasted from the dinner before! And feel better and better the longer I fast, and feel like my work performance is tip top as an ER nurse because I am fat adapted. Been doing IF since graduating nursing school almost 7 years ago. It is the simplest, most amazing thing one can do to improve so much in life.
I manage money for a lot of medical professionals, MD's and DDS's, and it is noticeable how few actually set the example by engaging in prudent self care.
That’s the difference. You are fat adapted. Those who are a pasta dinner and a fruit muffin for breakfast will be hangry if they don’t eat before 1pm.
If they ate steak with broccoli and avocado for dinner, they can last until the next dinner in a nice stable mood IF they are fat adapted.
When Patrick asked about depression and drugs being used to treat, most people who start fasting and get their blood sugars under control also decrease their cortisol levels, which usually decreases a persons anxiety and depression greatly.
Yeah Keto and IF works great for that.
Agreed. When I fast I can feel gratitude for my life and anxiety ceases.
NO WAY!!! jason fung with Pat????? I wasn't expecting this!!!!!! thank you

I was sickly growing up, going to the doctor everytime and took the pills. At one point in 1995, i had a chronic illness and I felt the medicine no longer helped me, I learned about fasting as a way to cleanse and heal. I am normal weight. I followed a 7 day fasting with just water. It was hard, the first 3 days were but on the 4th day i felt better, i didnt feel hungry anymore. From then on my immune system was enhanced. I do it once a yeat since then. I am almosþ 60 and not taking any pill and seldom get sick. Fasting cleanse and fixes you.

It doesn’t matter the amount of damage this thing has caused! I mean non-related to this virus. you catch heat from everywhere. I love how people like to throw their specialties around. I’ve been lecturing some on this virus and I had an infectious disease doctor call me out. reminded me that I was it an infectious disease doctor. If you’re in the business either scientist or a physician you don’t have to be a aerospace mathematician to figure this crap out. Same with what Dr. Fung is talking about. We have the best medicine in the world yeah the unhealthiest population. It’s an absolute joke
Legendary Jason Fung...He's one of the Best... Much respect
I started fasting 16 hours a day with a 8 hour eating window. I brought my A1C from 9.6 to 5.4 in 5 months, I also lost 44 pounds in 7 months. Just do the 16/8 fast and it should work for you to. PS the first month on the fast is extremely hard, but gets much easier after the first month
If you're not skipping dinner on your 16/8, try eating according to our Circadian Rhythm. It's a game changer. Here's how to do it...
Eat your largest meal between 7 and 9am (the Stomach Meridian) "Break"fast and your 2nd meal (last meal) between Noon and 2pm (the Small Intestine Meridian). Fast between 2pm and 7am. Repeat. Do not snack between meals.
Remember this, the digestive system weakens as the day progresses, making dinner the worst time to eat. Eating with our Circadian Rhythm works with the metabolism (which slows down during the day and evening) not against it.
If you want to take it to the next level, "ground" yourself while eating and for 20 minutes afterwards mimunum as this will help with digestion. I recommend grounding by placing your bare feet on the earth.

@@gloriasaliba3395 when you stop eating after 2pm, you will have a natural appetite for a large breakfast. You'll have to give it a few days for your body to adjust to the change.
As a retired doctor listening to this, I agree and recognize his descriptions of how pills are “ gently” pushed to physicians, so they become a
“Schill” for these pharma companies. If they could put a “hit”out for doctors like Dr. Fung, they would!
I am an intelligent woman of 73. I argue with my doctor to the point he sometimes walks out of the room to cool down. I believe in functional medicine, taking responsibility for my own health even though my genetic line is not promising. Stress causes weight gain and disease and I find doctors pushing pills I don't need one if my greatest stresses. The diet this doctor recommends is how I was raised (mother was a dietician). I should never have diverted from how I was fed as a child. I believe that our bodies are capable of healing ourselves..?. if the medical community would get off their high horse and spend more effort discovering what is causing the problem rather than treating the outcome with pills we would all be a lot healthier.
That has been done.

One thing you have to appreciate about Dr Fung is his candidness
I’m living proof of what Dr. Fung is talking about. In just 3 months of 36 hr fasts 3 Xs a week, my sugar level went down from 7.2 to 6.2. As a nice side effect, I lost 30 lbs. and cholesterol went down from 277 to 218. (I did not take cholesterol meds during this time either, even though they were prescribed.) Some friends introduced me to Dr. Jason Fung’s book and I decided to go the fasting route instead of the diabetic medicine route. I’m not finished on this journey, but Dr. Fung’s advice in his book guided me in the right direction. I’m so thankful for my friends introducing his book to me to at least give fasting a chance over drugs.
Curious Mind - Hi Curious, Question: how many meals do you actually eat a week if doing the 36 hr fasts 3 Xs a week? It sounds like starvation to me, and yet I hope.
@@anonnnnnsh I didn’t count the number of meals but ate healthier foods on my eating days.
My neighbor gradually built up to walking 3 miles a day with his little dog in several walks daily. Dog loves it.
His A1C was over 10 when he started. He lost about 40 lbs. and dropped A1C to 6 something, without diet.
I used to eat 1 meal a day in my 20's. Didn't call it fasting but I was so thin and had energy.
@@morganmadison366 I don't see how this would be possible without some kind of change in diet.
My A1c was 10 and then I followed Dr. Fung's Intermittent Fasting plan and my A1c has dropped to 8.6 and continues to lower.
Really. Do you do 16 hours of fasting once to twice per week? 24 hour? Do you drink alcohol?
@@donaldsawyer2618 Hi Donald I do it everyday and I do not drink. So far its been working.

@@donaldsawyer2618 yup
Thank.you Dr Fung the proof is that I discovered you and your intermediate diet 2 year ago I went from 246 to 195 pound and I had reversed type 2 diabetes. Thank you
Do you have an update on how you are doing today?
I recently started intermittent fasting, my son told me to try so I can loose some wait and I experience problems sleeping and problems concentrating but only the first two times, now I’m fasting twice a week and I feel great, I’m loosing weight with almost zero effort, my sugar levels are normal and I have so much more energy and mental clarity.
How long are your fasts during the week? 24 hours? I'm thinking of doing the same (after some period eating better, with less carbs than before and more protein) and what you said was encouraging.
After doing a decent amount of research into fasting and the way the human body works, I've come to the realization that growing up dirt poor is prolly what led to me avoiding obesity.
Being healthy now. Excellent!
@ Ron paul 2020. A silver lining. The older I get of more of those I see.

Thank you for all your lectures Dr Fung. You saved my life 4 years ago. I can tell you I was villified for a long time and accused of misleading people with the knowledge I got from you. I was told to keep my opinions to myself. Imagine!. There is no educating Pork.... Thank you for your continuous information. Don't ever stop..
I stop eating at 3pm and have my next meal at 8am, usually miso soup before training. I get great results with a 17 hour fast. Green tea for sure.
Doing a light exercise every time before I go eat is one of my biggest life hacks to staying healthy, because the meal to come ends up motivating me to finish my reps
I literally just stated doing that and 16/8 fasting
Agree... this week I’ve been taking a break and working out mid day with st least one meal in me fuels me up for the rest of the day
I will try that
I’m definitely trying that before breaking my fast tomorrow!!
@@devinhiggins3512 what time would be recommended to have the mid day meal?
I started fasting after seeing an interview with Dr Fung. In 12 months I lost 23 Kilos.
Regardless of losing weight which has made me look so much better, the real bonus is my health. I feel so much better, I can actually get out of bed without a problem where as before I had to help myself up by holding on to something. I couldn’t remember the last time I could actually squat down to pick something up off the floor without having problems standing again. Dr Fung’s honest interviews on fasting has been a God send for me. I have so much respect for this Doctor. He’s not trying to sell me tablets and potions and you don’t even have to buy his books because he explains everything on You Tube for free. I am so very grateful. Fasting is not easy but getting out of bed every day six and seven days a week at 5am wasn’t easy either for four years and I lost a whole 3 Kilos and gained arthritis in my feet from all the impact exercise so I’ll take fasting any day day. I skip breakfast leaving 16 hours between dinner and lunch the next day and make sure I eat dinner within eight hours between lunch and dinner. I eat Greek yoghurt with whatever fruit I have in the house and maybe a few walnuts mixed in. This keeps me full for five hours and then I eat dinner which consists of chicken, beef or fish with salad or vegetables. I have as much as I want, I don’t weigh anything and on Sunday I eat pasta for lunch and a very light dinner like tomatoe and lettuce on a few crackers. I love food but I changed my mind about food. I need food to fuel my body, I don’t need food for pleasure. I say this every day. Don’t get me wrong, I slip up sometimes, I go out to dinner sometimes I eat cake sometimes but I stay mindful and get back on track asap.
I've never been fat. I dont think I ever weighted over 170lbs as a 5'9 male. I decided to drastically decrease my carb intake and I fast for 16-18 hrs every day. I'm now a lean 145lbs, I'm never fatigued or sluggish and I dont get hungry. Dr.Fung is onto something. I never knew I had 25 lbs of fat to lose. I'm crazy fit now with a six pack and stronger than ever. Wish I knew this sooner.
Amazing . Great job 👏. Congrats
I have been practicing intermittent fasting (one meal a day) along with a 3-day fast (water only) once a month for about 4 years now. This, combined with the elimination of bread, rice, pasta, soda and added sugar has been life changing. Dr. Fung's book on fasting was instrumental in this journey. The objective was not weight loss, but I did reduce my body weight and body fat percentage, while increasing lean muscle mass through exercise. My diet is a combination of paleo and keto.
I’m obese, and do intermittent fasting and I don’t have any of their horrible side effects! Lol I have better clarity n focus, sleep better, better digestion, no heartburn, no constipation… I love it!!!
How much weight have you lost since you started and how do you feel brother?
This Dr makes total sense! I grew up in 80’s where we ate a bunch of snack wells instead of eating real food.
The owners of BIG FARMA invented processed food So you’ll NEED more of their product, Eat the food that GOD gave us, Micro wave Kills food, your eating Dead food which makes you SICK, example Diabetes,Heart Disease. Weight gain,etc etc, get rid of the microwave and the processed food and you will need LESS Pharmaceutical medication. Doctors Training schools and colleges are owned by BIG Pharma so they train doctors to PRESCRIBE PHARMACEUTICAL medication, Doctors are NOT trained about NUTRITION
During the lockdowns in 2020 i was top weight 242, i used intermittent fasting eating during 1pm to 6 pm. i work out 5-7 am on empty stomach. I'm 194.6 still on my journey.

Former diabetic here also. I found Dr. Fung in November 2021. My diabetes was gone in 3 months. I was 315 ponds and a type 2 diabetic for 25 years, on 2 insulins, metformin etc. Now Im 255 stay on keto, do 18-4 intermittent fasting and stay on Keto. Lastly every once in a while a fast 1 or two days once a month. Dr. Fung saved my life and it was absolutely free.
The biggest surprise I had was how energetic & focused I am when I fast just for one day!
I’ve been a type 1 diabetic for over 30 years and when I fast I feel at my best, my A1C is at its lowest since I rarely eat processed carbs! I had to go blind before realizing the effects of high blood sugar. Doctors told me for years the lies of the SAD diet and from listening to videos like this I’ve taken my health into my own hands! Thank you

Finally a fasting video. Nice job Pat
Muslims around the world fast 29/30 days which is call month of Ramadan. And scientifically which help to reduce the chance of Cancer and other deadly diseases. From Sunrise to Sunset they fast and you can't even drink drop water. It's a bless month.
Most of Muslims also fasting true the whole year on Monday & Thursday's + some days on important days in Islam like durning pilgrim. But also our Prophet ( pbuh) has giving us many instructions about how to eat & drink. By the way all of the religions has fasting as obligation. The problem is nobody is practicing the religions properly. Because at the end it's one god ( Allah) giving the same massage to all of his prophets from Adam till Mohammed. You like it or not makes it your narrow minded problem.
This is the first time I've heard the name Jason Fung but I can tell just from his intelligent response to Pat's questions that this doctor is a very sound one. 👌

I've actually listened to his entire interview. He's so right about food & cancer relations. In Arabic countries, they even have this method: to NOT feed a cancer patient. Not with anything, until a black stool comes out of them. And they have the lowest rates for cancer, too. And we used the same approach for my grandpa. It worked! He was 40 kg already, had to die, and then after a severe fasting? And some natural extracts from Russian doctors (not drugs)? He was cancer-free in several months. Crazy.
Yeah, sugar is a big feeder of cancer. So the early stages that can work some. Wish more people would do it. When it gets to late stages, it won’t work usually.
@@kevinsutube1p528 but it did! Doctors sent my grandpa home because there was literally nothing they could do. You know, to die peacefully. And that’s when my grandma put him on a strict fasting (he was less than 40 kg by that time, all of his digestive system was affected), and after that started giving him those extracts. It was a miracle, but he got back to life, and lived for a couple of years since then. But unfortunately as he felt himself good enough, he got back to drinking, and that’s what finished him. One can’t escape the destiny 🤷🏻♀️
@@OlgaPogozheva yeah cancer is complicated. A friend’s sister was supposed to die from brain cancer but it went away. What I heard was sugar was a big feeder in the early stages and lots of people could reverse it by starving the cancer but in stage 4 I think it was lactate that it would feed off of( I might be getting the name wrong) but your body can just make that yourself so they would need complicated drugs to have your body block it.

hi sunnybrook, just to let you know that I had serious arthritis in my hands (like my grandma).

Finally... After trying for almost 10 years, I could fast for 24 hours, it was the hardest and longest day in my life. Now, I'm in my second day, and after this initial struggle, I feel I can maintain this for a lot more days. I will post here how many days I get (my initial goal is 3 days)
Did you remove ur carbs before starting fasting process? I found it was easier on weeks I had only carbs by veggies.
I also started with one day. Then i managed two and later three days in a row. Now I do a three day fast from time to time and every time it gets easier
Howisit going
@@jmspegel Yes, but not totally, I lasted for 3 days and almost passed out, I had to eat something
Three days is the longest I have managed. I think maybe I need more minerals in my water. After 3 days I was strongly in ketosis and maintained mild ketosis for a few more days by choosing carefully what I ate. So although I started eating again my body was still burning some fat. Most of the time I am IF and eating LCHF and maintaining my weight loss while still loving my food.

If you're not hungry, don't eat!

Im always hungry tho 😆

This is so accurate! I read a health book stating you only eat to not starve you body, being hungry is good, being full is too much, and obviously starving is detrimental. Love this dudes simple approach! Yo, Jesus fasted for 40 days, and he never died! Yeah boiiiiii!
Amen!

I quit vaping during the pandemic, ended up putting on 30 pounds due to uncontrollable eating.
Blood work all over the place. Started listening to Dr. Robert Lustig, Benjamin Bickman and of course Dr. Fung. With prolonged fasting and OMAD back to my pre-quitting weight. Best of both worlds 🔥 thank you Dr. Fung especially for Obesity code.
I'm glad I read the comments, which are personal and positive. I've been fasting 16/8 for ten days and while it's true I have more energy, I haven't lost so much as a pound. I must have the slowest metabolism ever. Will keep trying and watching more videos☺️
I tried intermittent fasting but gave up after 3 weeks because I gained a little over 10 pounds.
try a full water fasting for 3 days first. make sure you put minerals in your water from fasting (a pinch of sea salt or pink Himalayan salt) this will keep you from feeling light headed, or tiered, leg cramps etc. Very important to have your mineral in water while fasting! Once you have gotten through a 3 day fast then do one meal a day between 3-5 depending on when you feel like eating the meal but don't eat any later than 5. if you eat fruits, nuts seeds, veggies, proteins and healthy fats, you won't need more than one meal and you will feel full for a long time..the carbs cause the sea saw of eating every few hours so when you don't eat them you don't feel hungry so often. Drink lots of water during your initial 3 day fast and get rest, extra sleep, just take it easy and do things to distract your mind like reading, go for walks, etc but stay away from tv and food commercials or things that will trigger you to want food best as you can. if you work full time outside the home try doing your 3 day fast or at least start it when you have your days off. If you have coffee every day you can have tea with no milk or sugar just so you get a little caffeine cause the withdrawl can be difficult and give you headaches but tea is better than coffee . I lost 60lbs in 3 mos this way...hope it help you. The first 3 day fast won't be easy...but you can do it if you truly in your heart want to. Make a list of the reasons you want to loose weight and put it on your fridge, put a pic of when you looked thin and healthy also, prepare yourself menially for a few days first and be sure to put some minerals in your water especial if you star to feel light headed or just icky go have a glass of water with a pinch of sea salt. When you fast your body burns off the trash first...so it can get a bit uncomfortable as you burn off the toxins stored in the fat. After you have done the initial 3 day fast the one meal a day is easy if you stick with it and do not break it even for one day and eat healthy (no breads, pasta, processed foods, sugar, etc) you can eat as much as you want for your one meal...so eat lots and enjoy it...prepare fresh food and have fun trying new recipes and tastes. Try lots of different spices, veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds etc and new food combos....it helps! I wish you the best of luck and I hope sharing with you what helped me helps you! 😊💙
Read one of his books to really learn the science of it and don't give up! Why do people expect instant results? smh

Honestly, I had heard majority of these words of wisdom from my parents (we are Indians) who used to practice all these things as a part of their daily routines, but the "modern" education that invaded us ruined all that. Good that I get to hear all this once again and that brings back some sincere hope in my life.
I had tried intermittent fasting for nearly 4 months in the past with great results. However, an accident put my life back in control of Doctors for some months and I had to let go of my fasting routine. Today, as I listen to these wise words (and some more from Dr. Alan Goldhamer), from tomorrow onwards I am going back to intermittent fasting for a week followed by water fasting for another week as a starter.
I am certain the results are going to be great.
How have you been?
Works, with keto and fasting I lost 160 pounds
Congrats. I am working on 70 this gives me hope.
That's inspirational! Amazing!
CLAPPING my hands my man. CONGRATS!!!
congrats! that is awesome. 😊
So hopefully now you are concentrating on your muscle mass & a high protein diet.
Intermittent fasting daily. Black coffee in the mornings, no lunch, lower carb dinner between 5pm and 7pm. This works wonders for me.
How much weight have you lost and how’s your energy levels and fatigue?
Be sure to have electrolytes
I’m currently following Dr. Fung’s alternate day fasting protocol (36 hr fasts). I have his “The Complete Guide to Fasting.” It’s awesomely educational! Down 18 lbs since late August. I lost 40 lbs 2 years ago fasting, but became stagnant. His alternate day fasting protocol is helping me get that last 25 lbs off! I’m almost there! Thank you Dr. Fung!
