Weight Loss (Controlling Body Set Weight) | Jason Fung

- Controlling the body's 'fat thermostat', also called the Body Set Weight (BSW) is the most important factor in how to lose weight. If your body set weight is set at too high a body fat percentage, then any attempt to lose weight will result in the body trying to regain weight by increasing hunger and decreasing caloric expenditure. Therefore, it pays to focus on how to adjust the body set weight. Check out my blog at / drjasonfung

Check out my video on how to lose weight automatically - czcams.com/video/A33eMFcud04/video.html
Watched it and I couldn't agree more! 25 years ago I needed to lose 25 lbs and joined a well known Weight loss company. I lost the 25 lbs. but even more valuable I learned about my relationship with food AND to eat 3 good meals a day. That has stayed with me and to this day I rarely snack. I have learned so much from your videos in the past couple of years about how food impacts the body. Eating healthy and how that impacts health. I am a senior and on no medications because of my dietary choices and walking close to 8000 steps a day. I am slowly getting down to my ideal weight in a healthy way understanding food and its relationship to food. Thank you for your videos.
I am so sad. Something's wrong with me.
I stayed off sugars in totality both from refined carbs and fruits.
I ate only leafy greens and mutton for 2 weeks straight. With intermittent fasting of 14/10. I had to eat as early as 8 or 9 am because I have ulcers. This Ulcer doesn't allow me to do water fast. So I have to eat just leafy greens with meats, not fatty meats even. Plus taking Orlistat everyday even when I don't eat all the time. No SUGAR at all. Yet I only lost 1kg. In two weeks. Somethings definitely wrong with me. I need help. Before I go crazy. I visit the gym at least 3 times a week and do moderate intensity cardios as I have no much strength for heavy workouts due to not eating carbs. I don't feel hungry, I feel ketones in my system. But I am not burning fat at all. I am frustrated. Seems like all my efforts are in vain. I need help. What is wrong with me??.
I currently weigh 110kg, now 109kg after all these. I did a fasting lipid profile, my total Cholesterol was 4.0mmol/L. Triglycerides was 1.7mmol/L. Yet the weight just refused to come off. What else should I do??
@@cosmosokpighe4962 carnivore. Even with ulcers, carnivore is great for healing your body. Check out Dr Ken Berry. He's a real doctor, MD, Family physician. I believe he does only YT now and sees very few patients if any at all. He's helped a ton of people with his free advice.
@@cosmosokpighe4962 2 lbs in two weeks is not actually bad. Have you kept this up?
What makes him credible is because he doesn't sell any products... No sponsors 👍👍👍
I was just getting ready to post this exact same comment - then saw yours!
He is selling products now. See the "Buy Jason Fung Merchandise" ad above.
@immafinna betryna or maybe he merely works a lot helping others rather than trolling people with ignorant comments.
@immafinna betryna Ok "Dude" . I will if you take a minute to "check" your IQ. "LOL"
@immafinna betryna I"m getting plenty of "Snickers" (hee hee) from all your goofy comments. because "Imma-thinkinYouNotSoSmart" which might explain that Neanderthal vibe of your profile image. Very retro!!
There should be a LOVE button here. Like is an understatement.
Listening Literally saved my life. I was too late learning. I learned how to reverse my type 2 diabetes and lowered my A1C from 15 to 5.7! My blood sugar was 500 and is now 120 average after a meal and fasting at 90ish.
It didn’t matter though because I started getting chest pains.... went in to the hospital and had a quadruple bypass. Its because I reversed my Insulin resistance that made the surgery more effective. 10 Doctors came into my room and many others asking “HOW DID YOU DO THAT?” I explained it like I was Dr. Fung! I think I broke knowledge on them!....... :) It’s been 5 months out and I feel fantastic, I intermittent fast 18:6 and eat zero sugar and eat carbs minimally. I fast for 3 days once a month. (Learn how to break your fast) and started the gym on the weekdays and do 30 min cardio and I hr weights. Off on the weekends...I’ve lost 60lbs and will continue my journey. If I was Rich there’s not enough money to give him. I thank him everyday under my breath.
He gave the knowledge but you did the work! Great job.
Congratulations on your success. Can you elaborate on the 10 doctors coming into your room? Was this immediately following your surgery?
What aspect(s) of your case did they find so amazing? Was it something about your heart or the dramatic reversal of your diabetes?
YAY!!!! ....Now That's what we all looove to hear!!😉😎
Good luck and stay strong on your journey to health and an life full of energy.
Wow! Congratulations! That’s amazing!
Dr Fung is light years ahead of mainstream nutritionists.
its an agenda their pushing.. its not that they dont know
Yes he is ions ahead of conservative nutritionist. Just like you don't get real news from Fox propaganda you don't take health advice from conservative nutritionist. Agreed!
I agree with you.
You are exactly right. He has the clearest understanding of human physiology.
I could agree with you more. I was telling my sister Weight Watchers is an “old-fashioned” style of dieting. She got so upset. You’d have thought she is a WW shareholder! So she will continue joining WW, losing some, gaining more, repeat.
I lost 70kilos about 150pounds by fasting for 36 hours twice a week.. also a 10day water fast to boost autophagy.. clean up which is really good.. long fast is addictive.. i felt so good i didn't wanna break fast lol.. our cravings disappear, sugar doesn't call to me anymore... I'm sticking to water as i realized how sugar was effecting my body.. sugar is the enemy.. my mental state has improved a ton.. my fungus on toe disappeared.. my hair used to drop a lot n now it's getting thicker again.. fasting is beautiful..
YESSS!!! D'accord !
Hi, could you tell me how did you eat for the rest of the week? Thanks
Wow good job Adam, stories like yours motivate people like me to put in their best that loosing weight is achievable. If I may ask, how long did it take you to loose the 70kg?
@@Meskwe you need to find your own motivation. You can’t do something because someone else did it, you will eventually give up. Find something within and go for it. Remember, weight loss is a marathon not a sprint, it may take some time. Good luck!
how long did it take you?
I OMAD and Carnivore. Seeing great results. I find it simple. And I’m sorry but easy as well. Someone wrote it’s not easy. I’m off insulin 30 units a day lost 31# 82 years of age. Thanks Dr Fung.
I agree... it IS easy thank goodness!
It is easy when you keep those bad carbs out of your diet. Those who haven’t done that are fighting an uphill battle. I am carnivore, OMAD on most days, I keep a short eating window. I continue taking electrolytes for now. Down 36 lbs.💃
If you're eating carnivore, be really careful about polyunsaturated fats that don't come with Omega-3s -- mainly from grain-fed pork and chicken. Too much linoleic acid without stearic acid to counterbalance it can lower your TDEE by as much as 400-500 calories as your body fat becomes PUFA-dominant and puts your body into metabolic torpor. If you're eating mostly grass-fed beef, organ meats, dairy, fish, and crustaceans you don't have to worry about it too much. Or if you're lucky enough to get your chicken and pork raised without grains/seed oil.
@@maltheopia Heck, you sound like a nutrition scientist!😉 What is TDEE, please?
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 I'm not a nutrition scientist, I just find the topic fascinating. TDEE = total daily energy expenditure, in other words how many calories your body uses a day on everything.
I haven't been able to measure my sedentary TDEE lately, but since cutting down on polyunsaturated fats about six weeks ago and supplementing with stearic acid -- while already on OMAD/rolling 72h+ fasts for 3+ months -- my body temperature has risen from around 97.5F to 98.0F and I can feel rested off of 6/6.5h of sleep instead of 8. Which indicates to me that my body is coming out of torpor and my TDEE is increasing.
This plan works for sure. I had a stroke in Feburary. My weight was 245 pounds. I changed my life style a week after getting out of the hospital. I started with 2 meal a day using a 12 pm to 8 pm window. After a week I realized I was not getting hungry for the first meal. Now i eat only one meal per day around 4 to 6 pm. I have lost 30 pounds. My wife has lost the same amount. We are sleeping and feeling much better. I will eat one meal a day forever. Thank you very much Jason for your teaching and helping me improve my quality of life. I also walk every other day for at least 30 minutes.
Dr Fung is true to his oath.
And he's one of the coolest guys on youtube. :-)
I am afraid nowadays, most of the health professionals' advice is largely governed by pharmaceutical and big food companies.
Felix7 Rjp......so true
Whatever happened to ‘first do no harm’?
He is explaining complicated issues in a no nonsensical simple way which is a gift . Count your blessings Dr. Jason Fung.
I'm currently at 36 hours! It gets easier the more you do it. You can do it guys! Don't give up! I'm a food addict especially sugar and I still trip up. (Mostly when I decide to eat I keep eating) I'm getting better one day at a time and loving how my body feels. Yes, I'm losing weight and I am obese, but the way I feel is worth it alone.
Keep going! I’ve gone up to 48 hours. You are very correct, it does get easier with practice.
@@Fiery154 awesome! My longest so far is 44 hours. I've been fasting for about 3 weeks now and it easier and better than any diet out there. I wish I had known when I was younger. 💕 I'm trying to reverse my type 2. I'm currently on metformin 1000 2x daily, 90units lantus before bed, and 30units Humalog with meals.
@@agapelovepietas Good for You!! I do Intermittent Fasting as well. Nope, I am not really much over-weight, maybe could stand to drop those last 10 pounds or so?🤔,...But I do the fasting for the Enormous Health Benefits!!!!!😉😎😍
16 to 18 hours daily fasting for life here. Been doing it since I was in high school (I'm now 56 yo).
I do 48 hrs twice a week, no problem.
I’m a certified nutritionist and personal trainer and they do NOT teach this in our certification classes. This information is life changing and so needed!
Thank you!!!
I love how Jason also looks very healthy and well himself. So many doctors look ill but try and give us health advice. ❤️
Dr Jason Fung once ask the audience, WHY ARE THERE FAT DOCTORS?... that really scare me & make me realise how most doctors lack of knowledge on Health.
@@ahheng6402 thats why I only trust slim, healthy looking doctors like Dr. Fung, Dr. Berg, Dr. Ken Berry. If a doctor looks fat or unhealthy, er shouldn't be taking any health advise from them. I listen to Dr. Fung the most, but the other two give good advice on things like what to eat on Keto, and other health issues, but if any of the other two were to contradict Dr. Fung, that's the day they lose credibility.
@@ahheng6402 you can know something and not do it yourself lmao. What scares me is how y’all don’t know that.
@@joemann7971 If you really believe this then nobody should take any advice from you because that’s a really stupid way to go about getting information. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
@@corimoon3360 I'm not saying the need to be super fit but need to be healthy weight. Would you take weight lifting advice from a person with no muscles?
Use some common sense. If their advice works, they should lead by example, dummy.
Anyone giving others health advice need to be practicing what they preach. Why would I listen to fat, unhealthy individuals? If you do, you're not very smart and nobody should take advice from you.
Not gonna lie, Im going to be watching this video a few times. And I acknowledge it is absolutely a privilege to do it.
This makes perfect sense - it's why each pregnancy raises a woman's set weight slightly too - hormones! Every single medical doctor should be made to watch this.
Wow. I had never thought of that, but it does make perfect sense! 👍
doubt it. pregnant women just crave junk food a lot more
@@PhaseSkater Not true - food aversions during pregnancy are more common than cravings, you can read studies on it if you google it. Cravings are just given more air time because they're ''cute''. I had food aversions with all 3 of my pregnancies.
@@PhaseSkater I craved steak and spinach.
@@PhaseSkater speaking from experience?
I craved radishes...
3 mouths ago I was 278....i eat one one big meal a day....less than 20 carbs....what I couldn't eat I saved it for just before bed so I could sleep.....today I am 232....never once felt sickly hungry......everything he is saying is 100% true.....mental clarity,skin tone..are all bonuses....on top of the weight loss....listen to exactly what he is saying...
As a type one diabetic for the last dozen years or so, I can say that I’ve witnessed this firsthand. When I was 36 and first diagnosed I weighed around 205 pounds and over the ensuing dozen years or so I reached 235 pounds. The other thing that increased over those years was the insulin I was injecting. Finally a couple years ago I decided to do some thing “radical” and go on a low-carb diet. Two big things happen with that, one my blood sugar was much more regulated and two I lost a significant amount of weight. Now for the last several months I’ve also incorporated intermittent fasting and reduced my insulin intake to 1/3 of what I was taking before and I have gotten down to 195 pounds. Over all it has been a great experience.
Great job!!!
Well done
Congratulations and good for you!! I hope you are proud of yourself for all of your diligence and hard work!!! :-)
Job well done from a Mom of two T1 teens!! From experience, I know your daily challenges and am so happy for you!
Congratulations! I really think someone who doesn't know what foods to eat and avoid should talk to someone (like you!) with well controlled T1D. You absolutely know what foods cause glucose spikes, which don't, etc.
Thank you you .
2 take home for me
1. Identify foods that spike up insulin and cut down on them
2. Reduce the frequency of eating in a day.
I am down 80+ lbs since Dec. 2020. Keeping my insulin low thru fasting and eating a low carb diet. thank you to Dr. Jason Fung and Dr. Ken Berry.
I recommend those 2 doctors to everyone!!!
Hey! Can i know whats your water fastin regimen like? And the refeed?
@@rababwasi3871 I know you asked a different poster, but I have lost 80 lbs in just under 7 months doing mostly alternate day fasting. On fasting days I have black coffee, green or herbal teas, apple cider vinegar and fresh squeezed lemon juice in mineral water. I also have a cup of vegetable or mushroom broth--this last is technically "dirty fasting", but it only has about 20 calories.
Usually nothing special with refeeding if I am just fasting every other day--but I do eat very healthy on eating days. No added sweeteners or heavily processed food. Mostly vegetables, whole fruit, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and protein (mostly tofu, tempeh, edamame, legumes, nuts and seeds, as I am vegan).
Right now I am on a rare longer fast, and will break my fast with a clear veggie soup--nothing too heavy. Hope this helps!
Listening to Dr Jason Fung should be require in health classes starting with dietitian/nutritionist all the way to health classes in public schools.
Thank you, Dr. Fung! I have been 20-25 pounds overweight for at least three years and cutting calories alone just wasn’t working. I was down to under 400 cal a day and my weight loss still plateaued. Then I found your CZcams channel. I have lost another 10 pounds in the last six weeks with intermittent fasting. I feel great and I’m still able to enjoy food with family and friends. Now I’ve got my husband on board. We are both so excited about our successes in getting back to a healthy weight. I just want to thank you so much.
I’m so grateful for your efforts to make this information available.
Wow! Reminds me of my journey except I’m just getting started ❤️
Apple cider vinegar helps with IF by suppressing appetite.
I don’t simply "like” dr. Jason’s videos....I share them in my personal facebook page and tag myself and my ever getting fatter and fatter friends and family
Passive 😂....
This video just sort of blew my mind. I didn’t realize that hormones like insulin is what we need to be controlling in order to lower our body set weight.
After reading Dr. Fung's book "The Obesity Code" I started alternate day fasting. In not quite seven months I have lost *80 lbs*. And I have done this while weight training and actually gaining muscle. Just cutting calories never worked this way for me. Thank you, Dr. Fung!
Thank you Dr. Fung. I have been following your advice by eating 1 or 2 meals a day. I have lost 25 lbs in 2 months. My starting weight was 230 lbs. Now I'm at 203 lbs. I feel so alert and having so much energy. I'm planning to reach 190 by the end of July 2021.
That cat made me laugh out loud!!! 33 pounds down so far, headed for 50. Feeling fantastic. I was a chronic and hopeless case... not any more! I am finding it easy to do which is a good thing since low carb plus "low intensity" IF is proving to be the cure for my issues, and I will obviously need to do this forever. No problem! Wishing good success to everyone.
Congratulations! I want to go from 125 to 105 😊❤️
I agree with you -- I am finding it easy and low stress, compared with when I was wondering how I would manage my weight when I am exercising more than enough to be strong, but some other biomarkers were not where I want them.
I lost 55#
Within a few mos I stopped being able to maintain and started packing wgt back on. I hadn’t even lost the addl 35# needed. I couldn’t even maintain. My set point is engraved in stone 🤷🏼♀️
@@YeshuaKingMessiah I lost 60#’s following his advice, as soon as I stopped, in one year I had put 40#s back on. Granted I was eating cake and ice cream every day and had stopped walking every day. Now I’m back doing it, down 10#’s in a month.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah Did you try going back to intermittent fasting?
My personal habit is now simple. 3 hour eating window per day. Move that window around if I can to stop the body into becoming complacent(afternoon, evening or even skip to the next day at noon). It needs to be startled sometimes. I eat low carb but am not as strict about it as before. My one major problem was the cream I put in my coffee. I didn't realize at the time but it raised my insulin leve high enough to counter the fat burning process. I noticed that after reaching a goal, if I fast for about 4 days, it locks in the new set weight. I hope this helps.
That’s interesting about the cream. Was it heavy cream and did it have any added inflammatory ingredients like carrageenan? I go out of my way to buy heavy cream that has nothing but organic cream.
@@boondoggle4820 I like the 35% in my coffee. I thought I was ok by adding less but after a while I was drinking about 5 large decafs during the day. I was also hungrier. Maybe fasting between meals is much more important than I thought. Going to be more vigilant now.
@@mimi1girl2dempsey3During my fasting time for OMAD, 2 days or 3 days, I only have water, green tea & my supplements. If 5 days fasting, add bone broth on 4th & 5th day. I can have a black coffee but not necessarily
I find eating outside the 11am-7pm window to be problematic. Nuts and cheese, too, and definitely "keto" snacks. Even olives can be problematic, it seems. Meat, eggs and non-starchy veg in the above window seems to be when I do best.
@@ahheng6402 I try to live as normal a life as I can. I'll only do 4 day fast after I have lost enough to want to stay there. I still want to lose another 20 lbs but am experimenting to do it as easily as possible. I'm now careful during my daily fast to not ingest anything but black coffee, tea and water. I have been going up a few pounds now and then for the past year but soon get back to my set weight in no time after a small effort. This weight maintenance happened after my last 4 day fast. So now I'm working on losing 10 more pounds and then will fast another 4 or 5 days to lock it in.
I’ve been doing it for about a month at 16:8. Sometimes I go longer because I’m not hungry. I have lost 10 lbs. I have about 5 more to go. I never had a problem until menopause when I gained close to 20 pounds.
How about Dr Fung either starts a medical school or his videos be required for MD license so we can actually get real doctors who can do more than writing prescriptions?
Because of THIS GUY I went Omad 22/2 fasting on November of 2019. Weight was 210, A1C 7.2. I Omad every day 22/2. Today 6/28/21 I’m 180 lbs, A1C 5.9 and my doc cut my atenolol from 10 mg to 5. We eat too often and too much.
You did excellent! Do you keep your carbs low or do you eat a normal amount?
@@rajeshroshan2877 I eat carbs a few times a week. Pasta, maybe bread in a sandwich and a beer or two after golf. Once a month pizza. I find that if I “treat” myself it’s like a reward on those days I get hungry but push thru until my eating window.
I think the words you need to say constantly to drill into everyone is 1) what you eat and 2) how often you eat, which is not to be confused with "how much you eat."
Exactly
Bravo! I am completely behind this
That’s exactly true! Couldn’t have said it any better! 👏👌💯‼️
Amount matters as well--it is just one factor, but still generally an important one. Overeating any food--but especially those that are high calorie or unhealthy to begin with--is harmful and can lead to weight gain.
After years of frustration and failure, I’m down 50lbs in 6 months thanks to this breakthrough information. The culprit is Insulin, I plan on being at my normal weight in another 6 to 8 months without that much effort. So grateful to have found Dr.Fung.
Great progress! However, don’t look at insulin as a ‘culprit’. Without it you’d be dead. It plays an important role in the body. It’s the processed food your body doesn’t know how to handle that causes the issue. I used to think like you but your body wouldn’t release this hormone it if was bad for you.
The culprit is eating too many calories compared to the amount you used, insulin wasn't an issue before that happened and wont change the fact you need to eat less than you use to drop the weight. If you burn 3000 calories per day and eat only 1500, no insulin will change the fact that you will lose weight fast.
@@NothingButAPeanutToo much makes you fat and you'll eventually become inulin resistant.
@@cyberfunk3793 you should listen to Dr Fung's 15 march 2016 lecture about viewing the science of food not calories in equalling calories out and metabolic resistance.
@@Mina-gm3pg Why? I guarantee if you count your calories and consume say 500 less than you eat, you will lose weight.
This video Dr Fung talks about how I went about losing fat and weight. Truth is I never concentrated on losing weight at all, I hardly ever weighed myself. What I did do was concentrate on things to bring my insulin down, I was insulin resistant and prediabetic with belly fat and overweight. So my main concern was to bring down my insulin. The first thing I did was change what I ate, I pretty much was on a carnivore diet (high fat, low to no carbs). Secondly I stopped eating all the time, I did this by eating once a day. My insulin levels started to drop substantially, so did my A1C. Working at bringing my insulin down also brought my blood sugar down reversing my prediabetic state. Now the side effect of that was weight loss and the loss of my body fat, I have a 0.8 waist to hip ratio now and loss over 40 pounds. I concentrated on bringing my insulin down and reversing my insulin resistance, the other things fell in line as a result of me fixing my insulin resistance problem. I went from pushing 200 pounds at 5'7" to now weighing a stable 140 pounds. I still eat a carnivore diet for the most part and I still eat only once a day. Oh, I almost forgot, I also incorporated walking, I walk 6 miles a day 6 days a week. I use one day as a rest day. That's how I did it, Dr Fung is absolutely right on this, I have no doubt that's for sure. I'm healthier now than I ever was, it just took a lifestyle change.
I lost a lot of weight by bringing my insulin down. I still hit a wall. I've had to skip days of eating and eat more protein to put a dent in it since then.
@@CarbageMan
I hear ya, I do a prolonged fast for about 3 or 4 days every three months or so. I try for 4 times a year. Fasting has become a way of life for me, I eat once a day and I feel great, it also maintains a dead steady 140 lbs. If I eat what they call a cheat meal now loaded with carbs, I literally feel like crap after I eat. instead of feeling full like I'm use too, i feel all bloated. I can live without eating or drinking sugar no problem.
@@CarbageMan
I have four people to thank for my success. Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Robert Cywes And my Family doctor who documented and monitored my journey to wellness.
Edit: The best part is I was never charged a dime. Even from my family doctor, I live in Canada Our healthcare is covered so I went and saw my family doctor regularly as he monitored my progress.
@@kosys5338 Yeah, I have mixed feelings about the term "cheat meals." On one hand, it doesn't say much, but the really damaging ones when you go off-plan really hurt, and fit the old saying "when you're cheating, you're ultimately only cheating YOURSELF." I have a bowl of pho about once a quarter, and if I do that, I'm out for a _long_ walk immediately afterward and a few times the next day, just to burn all those carbs out of my system ASAP.
Mostly, I've trained myself not to eat sugar and grains or seed oils at all. The tougher struggle has been "keto" treats, nuts and cheese. Basically, I'm at a place where I have to dial back the fat.
@@kosys5338 My first big help was Dr Berg. I read Dr Fung's books, and that gave me the perseverance to stay low-carb and fasted most of the time. Dr Eric Ekberg has really nice detailed videos, too.
Some provide a good angle, like Dr Cywes, Shawn Baker, Violet Reveira (keto psychologist) and Thomas Delauer. The recipe-style channels got old fast, and I don't pay too much attention to those because now I eat simple (besides, recipes tend to have more carbs, fat and less whole food.)
I find many of the others hit and miss, and there are a few who just come across as either "monetizers" or "everything is borrowed from someone else." Some of these are high profile, like one who calls himself Dr Z.
PS: As for the doctor, I found mine mostly unhelpful. He actually MENTIONED low carb, which is why I looked into it, having already heard of it, but I ended up firing him over "standards of care." I'm now seeing a GP that's a low carb diet specialist.
Dr. Jason deserves at least 20 million subscribers if not more. I’m so happy he started to post weekly. I press the like button before the video starts. I bought he’s book on kindle, the obesity code. Definitely worth the investment.
I was previously addicted to carbs and sugars without the slightest idea that I was an addict.
I went keto with the help of Jason Fung's videos ( and Dr Ken Berry's too ) and have really turned myself around. Lost heaps of weight via keto and IF (OMAD is best for me I find) and look and feel years younger.
My own doctor is a fan of these channels since I introduced him to them and I rarely go a day without looking at one or both of them and reminding myself of what I am doing and why it works.
The channels are my new addiction and happy to say it !
I have noticed this with myself. I have been on constant yo-yo dieting since my teenage years, and found keto / lowcarb lifestyle the past 3 years. Keto works wonders for me but one time I thought I could accelerate my weight loss just by cutting down my calorie. But instead of losing, my body just stopped at a set weight and it stayed like that for 2 months even with exercise. Frustrating. I found out now 1,500 Calories combined with fasting 20:4 works best for me 😊 Losing 1-2lbs/week slowly but consistent. But this video gave me a clarity. Thank you dr!
It is so hard to get out of the low calorie mindset.
my thermostat was set to fat growing up in a house with lots of processed foods and sugar. its taken me months of intermittent fasting and occasional extended fasts to finally change the setting to normal. thank you dr fung (and sten ekberg).
Thank you Dr.Fung for serving Humanity.a true doctor of people.
Trying to figure out what weight my body wants to be is the most difficult. My brain says I need to lose but it's like my body says nah I want to keep you as is.
I feel you 😫
I lost 45 lbs size 2 but so much loose skin 🥲🥲🥲

Dear Dr. Jason Fung,
You saved my life. I First heard about You and intermittent fasting on May 13th , 2022, when we were coming back to houston from my son’s college graduation. My brother popped a audio of your book with you and Eve Mayer and Megan Ramos on the car radio
“ Life in the FASTING LANE “
(Folks ya have to get this audio or Book). In 3 or 4 hours I was in awe
At what I heard. My brother gave me a copy of the book and in 2-3
Days I devoured it. Like MOST I have struggled for years to lose weight. Been diabetic about 15 years. In August 2013 when to the emergency room not feeling right
My Blood sugar was 917 and A1C
17+. Since then have been on insulin. Novolin R and Levemir. And have gained weight and my former PCP, 7 yrs. Never discussed any solution, just Keep taking it.
For the past few years BS is always up/down ,
In the last 31 days I’ve cut OUT ALL sweets, for me it was Stevia in my coffee, no more. Eating low carbs, fish or chicken, some beef.
Jason changed my life. He introduced me to IF , lost 42 lbs and I love this lifestyle!!
Wow! In how much time did u lose so.much?
@@thetree7694 started Jan 2020 with 16:8 , eating healthy but still having carbs. On weekends I have my wine and chips , French fries etc. Monday -Friday I’m flexible with IF. It took me about 8 months. Piece of cake.
Congratulations! I've lost 80 lbs in a little under 7 months, mostly doing alternate day fasting.

@@elizabethkoenig5185 wow !! Well done.
Dr Fung’s book The Obesity Code is what really started my education path on nutritional science. I’m eternally grateful to him for sharing his knowledge and being one of the doctors who really care and see the reality of what works and what doesn’t. He also inspired me to start my own channel in the hope to spreading the good news. It definitively needs more videos but I’m slowly working towards that.
I follow 16:8 window and eat very low carb diet and I have significantly lost weight. Can't thankyou enough Dr Fung and everyone here who write their transformation stories.
type 2 diabetic here. down 33 lbs in less than 2 months: raw vegan, 1000 calories a day, 1 meal a day with a 48 hour fast once a month, walks and yoga. labs perfect now. working on my BMI. I have 18 lbs to lose before Christmas. I'll make it. Thank you Dr. Fung.
Did you reach your goal?
Just want to say, i've lost 39kg in the last year, at the start was only a low carb diet, since the start of my fasting journey i lost 29kg of this 39kg, starting with a normal 16:8, and omad now with some 48h black coffee/water/green tea fast. Tnx to Dr. Fung and his video and book i weight like around 20 years ago. So i am really thankfull to him
Love you Dr Fung! You really are a doctor who is trying to help!
I had to find out the last months, for me eating every other day works best. So I maintain a strict fasting period of 48h between two meals. Food tastes great after 48h of pure nothing :D
Great way to go if you have the willpower to do it consistently. Most people don't, including myself most of the time unfortunately
Weak.. ...a true faster will go over 120hours.

Do you break your fast with any type of specific foods? I tried this and I had the runs each time so I abandoned the idea and went back to one meal a day.
@@dj8350 Usually I break fast around noon with a full meal. The base is lettuce combined with cucumber or zucchini on top (salt, lemon juice and olive oil) and any typ of protein and fat I ilke that day. That could be pork, spare ribs, salmon, seafood additional with eggs, avocados and sometimes cheese. bowel movement every 2 to 3 days a week :D. cheers.

Thank you, that’s helpful. 👍😀
so thankful for your videos Dr Fung! I've lost 13 pounds in 2 months on low carb combined with IF. I still have 60lbs to go, but for the first time in my life I feel like I understand what's going on in my body. I have the same feeling you get after you figure out a puzzle. It's thrilling!
Insulin’s affect on the body’s ability to maintain weight is just a thermostat. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge & wisdom with us who have been struggling 30 plus years.
Love Dr. Fung! Granted I didn't have a lot of weight to lose, but I lost 16 lbs during Covid when everyone else was gaining weight! I read his book. I hadn't been able to loose those post menopausal lbs until IF. I can't imagine not being on IF. Love, love learning more & more about it!
Extremely clear explanation of an issue that we've all experienced. The concept of a Body Set Weight makes a lot of sense.
These shorter videos are right on.
Brilliantly simple in layman's terms. Nice one jason.
I wish I would have found you sooner in my health journey. I had lost weight from 175 to my goal weight of 130 but regained it and am currently around 140s. I'm hoping that adding fasting will help me get back and maintain my goal weight for good.
It WILL. Even if you move your eating window to 16/8 you will soon begin to see results! Then on some days, once you are used to Only eating within your eating-window, you can easily decrease your eating-window time! And soon you may want to try the OMAD on some days!? It's really easy once your body adjusts to it! Most days you won't even feel true hunger-pangs at all!!😉😎
@@SherylinRM Wish I had been working out. I dropped the ball. 😔 I'm getting back on track though. I'm excited to start with this new phase of my journey. 😁
@@gloriamaryhaywood2217 Thank you. I'm going to try doing 18 hour fasts all this week and work up to doing an OMAD on Friday. 😁🙌
Fasting was the kicker for me. It is an amazing tool.
Excellent point muscle weighs more than fat
You're the only content creator who I drop what I'm doing to watch. I love your books, and have listened to so many of your talks and podcasts for at least 3 years. Thank you for all you do.
Your gonna thank a guy for spreading anti scientific claims?
@@loosecannon6142 please explain how what he teaches is anti science and we'll go from there.
@@catiemyers3429 His claims about thermodynamics are extremely anti scientific.
He claims that if you cut out 500 calories from your diet, you body will now burn 500 less calories. This is an absurd statement
@@loosecannon6142 Try watching the video again and see if you are able to understand the concept of the metabolic rate going down, if I reduce the amount of calories that I consume. (It goes into starvation mode).
Whereas if I fast for a while, I will use up my Glucose and glycogen store and then start using the stored fat for energy.
There is no problem with the laws of thermodynamics, when I am fasting, by definition, I have created a caloric deficit....
@@grahamedwards6824 Starvation mode does not exist
That is the perfect example of what people have been doing during covit. . While they have been stuck at home eating more often than they should and just putting on the kilos
He is putting the right words to the thoughts I've had for a long time. As a long-time obese person, I lost 75 kilos (half my body weight) counting calories. worst 2 years of my life, I might add. I have always told people that tell me it's just about willpower to stay on that lower weight. I have always had that "feeling" that my body works against me, and wants to go "back" to the high weight I had. After trying to maintain my lower weight for a year and a half, I could still not eat more than 1400cal a day WITHOUT gaining weight. If I ate more, I gained weight. I got so tired of being low on iron, b12 and feeling like my brain was "mushy", that I decided to eat 1700-1800 calories a day from then on. My brain felt clearer and had more energy ofc, as I got more nutrients "naturally", and I didn't need b12 injections or iron anymore. BUT boy did I gain weight. Yes I did..slowly but surely weight came back on. and I told people: I am SO sure that my body wants to go back to where it was, and is sucking up every.single.calorie I eat to achieve that. There was no other way for me to explain why I ate the same amount of calories as another family member of similar size and age, and they did NOT gain weight, but I did. This just confirms what I have been conviced of last few years. I wish more doctors would educate themselves. I still hear my doctor tell me: eat many small meals a day. I have been living ketogenic diet last 3 years (with a break in the middle, where I gained weight AGAIN), but am now back on it. THANK YOU for putting words to my personal experiences.
The willpower comments from friends and family (and even doctors) infuriates me. I’ve lost 80 pounds 4x (and yo-yoed back) in my life. I dare any of my natural thin friends and family to have the “willpower” to lose a total of 320 pounds in their lifetime.
Body composition. Lift weights to boost BMR. This changed my life.
@@M.Sid9.3 Agreed! I have been able to lose 80 lbs while actually *gaining* muscle, by upping my weight training.
Such a clear explanation of the way insulin affects weight. Thanks so much!
Dr. Fung thank you i am no longer considered pre diabetic after 3 years of A1C below 6...fasting and keto worked for me...
The fat cat at 1:51 really caught me off guard 😂
Thanks for another great video, Dr Fung!
Your lectures are a big key to my weight loss. From 76kg to 65kg. I'm now doing 18 to 19 hours fasting daily. (Basically 2MAD. From 11am to 12nn, then 3 to 4pm - usually 230 to 330). During the last eating window I eat vegetables and meat so that I am not even hungry by 11am)
I love sweets and before IF, I eat any time of the day. Now my sweet intake is minimized.
Thank you so so much 💗
Congrats! how long did it tak you to loose the 11 kg?

Dr. FUNG IS THE MEDICINE THAT I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED!!!
Love this Dr. Fung. You r one of my favorite channel when it comes to intermittent fasting. You explain very well🤍🌸
Thank you Doctor Jason! You are my inspiration! I be been doing 16:8 since April. It was easy actually. Today I will finish 72 hours fasting and I m doing just fine! Thank you doctor for your kindness sharing these info to us all! Lots of love and respect from Thailand 🇹🇭 🙏🙏🙏
Seriously, thank you for this video. I knew there had to be a set weight. I maintained a weight of 110 from around 15 yrs old to 30, when i started having children. I hope i can get back close to that weight by using your tips. Thank you so much!
Being consistent with your healthy approach(Low carb/less meal frequency) is the key. It really does not matter with healthy approach you choose(keto/low carb/IF) as long as your consistent with the approach , you will see the result eventually. It took 3 years for me to eventually reach to my optimal goal and get rid of that stubborn belly fat.
The more tools the better, exercise and avoiding processed food can also work miracles.
Read Jason’s book diabetes code and reversed type 2 in three months
Jason is awesome
I remember years ago they talked about this concept on either 20_20 or some night news show. They described it as your body fighting against weight loss. Wow!
Gosh I love you! I wish I’d found you 30 years ago. You, my friend, are changing lives. Thank you!
I LOVE how you never get unlikes, Doctor! Thank you indubitably for your concepts! I have lost a whopping 5 kgs in 40 days!!!!!! And quite healthily so ...
Loved this information! I definitely snack through the day and still eat 3 meals. I see what needs to change … now to do it!
Oh my , you showed up just in time. I gained 80 pounds during this pandemic. I can’t stand it, and it’s killing me! I keep going back to 193. I can’t stay slim long.
You are not alone. I'm struggling too, hit the scale at 199 today. So depressed. I use to fast but can't get my motivation and discipline back.
@@Iamkim968 First 3 days of intermittent fasting is always tough after falling of the wagon. Especially if you’re living with family. Pre-2020 I did every other day intermittent fasting, still ate massively and went to the gym pretty much every day. Then boom, pandemic, forced to work remotely and I kept snacking nonstop out of stress. Just a week before our office shut down, I got a new position at work with bigger responsibilities. Training remotely sucked but I kept telling myself not to complain because I asked for more responsibility in the first place and I wanted to work a step closer to executive level. And of course there was so much awfulness going on in the world. So I just kept eating, ordering take out, no exercise and waiting for news that we can go back to the office and to gyms. My brain let the months pass hoping things will get back to normal soon and not accepting that I have to adjust. I mean seriously, remember how many times our hopes were risen month after month? Weeks of awful news stories. My God, remember the elections?? (shudder!) I cried every day I signed off from work because my boss was SO BAD at training remotely and I was training someone super incompetent for my old position. I kept making mistakes in my new position and my replacement kept making mistakes that I had to go in and fix. Thankfully my boss knew my replacement wasn’t up to par and she admitted she was not training me properly because she herself was overwhelmed, but the mistakes were still things I had to deal with. It was months of this. One day I got on the scale and found myself at 198. Wearing nothing but pajamas made me not be aware of my growing size. But more than anything I needed to get better in my new position because of so many high-level deadlines coming up. A few months ago after I recovered from my second vaccine shot, my brain finally caught up to reality and I found myself doing well in my work schedule. I decided to truly do Intermittent Fasting and add exercise. I am now doing two-sessions-a-day moderate exercise for five days a week (like walking for just 20 minutes twice a day with hand weights choosing streets on hills or doing two short exercise videos from CZcams twice a day) and intermittent fasting for 6 days with one cheat day (not giving up my weekend brunch of waffles and syrup!!!). In a way I am just doing probably 65-75% effort for both diet and exercise combined but I am down roughly 12 pounds. I find myself some days I only eat one gentle meal a day now (like salmon and big portion of veggie stir fry) and I am fine, compared to the beginning of intermittent fasting where my stomach kept gurgling and I needed more carbs. Hey I’m human and I’m a massive foodie so obviously I fall off the wagon some weeks. But I can now jump back into intermittent fasting 16/8 a lot more easily. For you, I recommend doing shorter intervals in the beginning like 12/12 and work your way up to 16/8. Even before my vaccine shots, I did a gentle start of 12/12 with just one 20 minute walking session for 3 days a week. Some days I just walked in place while watching an episode of a sitcom. Do 12/12 for the first two days with a HUGE long meal of any kind of food. I know that goes against logic but eating a big meal helped for me in the beginning adjustment phase. But always discipline yourself to exclude alcohol as much as possible and always include something fiberous prepared in any style in your eating window like a serving of broccoli or quinoa. Then on day 3, i find I can immediately jump to 16/8 again. If you find yourself still starving on Day 3, then simply go to 13/11 for two days. Still can’t do 16/8 after that? Then push just one hour with 14/10 for another two days until you reach 16/8. I found that I naturally stopped eating huge portions because my body set point of what I need to consume started shifting. My stomach doesn’t growl anymore at 16/8. BUT I still treat myself most days with a dessert at the end of my meal! Again, even with my 65% effort, I still dropped 12 pounds. This past 2 weeks, I have added more toning exercises. My weight shifted by just a pound but for the first time in my video chats with family they have remarked that I looked much leaner than when I did simply cardio and my every day pajama pants keep slipping down. It’s still a work in progress for sure. But be kind to yourself. If you are feeling depressed and youre a a chronic overeater, it’s not good to jump into extreme fasting and two-a-day exercises. Your mind must adjust first. Doing 12/12 at the start helped me not just with my body, but also training my brain to naturally schedule things around that 12/12 window with work, cooking, quality time with loved ones, and me-time for my hobbies (or binge watching something on Netflix or Hulu!) And of course watching videos like by Dr Fung is food for the brain! - - Wishing you all the best, my friend.

@@lepetitenellie Thank you for the wonderful suggestions. I also started a new job in February of this year and that added to my stress, finally starting to find my footing in the new job. I'm also starting a bootcamp as of tomorrow and I've managed to do omad for the last 3 days. Baby steps.
I’ve always complained that my body likes to be at the weight I am, no matter what I eat or don’t eat. It’s annoying. But this is very encouraging and informative, delivered in a logical way. Sharing ❤
Learning the science of fasting is very helpful. I'm just starting to really use intermittent fasting. Yesterday I fasted for 17 hours, working my way to 24 hours (and possibly longer). Thank you Dr. Fung the information in your videos is tremendously helpful and encouraging.
Just a reminder, that cat is not a wild animal, and this one clearly has no problem getting food. Cat owners need to be as responsible as dog owners, by not letting their pets annoy neighbors or kill the indigenous fauna. Sorry just a pet peeve of mine.
The 23 dislikes are probably thermostat résistent
Funny but they are actually all shareholders from weight watchers. They want to make sure you stay thermostat resistant so you keep giving them money.
😂
That's funny
I am thermostat resistant n not even from WW
My thermostat won’t move
I gain it right back
So many complications to think about with fat storage vs fat loss
Thyroid
Adrenals
My Ferritin is even too low! With no iron there’s no Oxygen so there’s no ATP being made (O2 is the last receptor in the Krebs Cycle).
I simply don’t use energy don’t produce energy have no energy so I’m energyless, all the time & still hungry becuz-back to first one- simply don’t use energy ( food).
Please make a video about "what should you eat during your eating window"
Thanks doc
I am on OMAD & LCHF. Did 2 days, 3 days & 5 days fasting too.
For losing more body fats in the beginning, less dietary fats input. After reach your idea body composition, for maintenance can eat higher fats. But always on lower Carbohydrate side.
I am from Malaysia & it is not easy to avoid high carbohydrate foods, it need more time to adjust.
Eat a Ketogenic diet, it will keep your insulin as low as possible.
Nutrient dense foods that keep insulin low. Meeting your nutrient requirements and switching your metabolism to fat burning instead of carb burning will absolutely change hunger/satiety. And when you aren't hungry, don't eat. See Dr. Ted Naiman's The P:E Diet and see Diet Doctor website. Dr. Fung has a cookbook (and many other books, too.)
Dr Fung advocates for a low carb diet. If you stay away from sugar, and processed foods, skick to whole foods like, meat, fish, eggs, healthy fats, greens, and low glicemic fruits, you should be fine.
He has discussed this quite a bit in his videos.
My wife and I have been doing a 4 day fast 3 day eating cycle the last 3 weeks. (we eased into this cycle) We still need to tweak our Fri-Sun eating some more but it has been really eye opening. We really like your video's, lots of good information. Thank You Jason Fung.
In the end our best eating cycle is one meal a day on day #1 and then only tea on day #2, repeat. Glad to hear you are having an easy time with the eating/fasting. We both have found it easy as well. Cheers.
Love the way you do this Dr Fung, with love and compassion.
It's been said in Vedic science to eat once a day for healthy living
Awwwwww I love Dr Fung!! His smile melts my cold dead heart lol x

This video made so much sense and is true. I know from personal experience. I worked out 6 days a week while eating lower calories and the scale wouldn't move cuz my body adapted to my lifestyle. It drives me crazy when I hear others say its all about calories in and calories out to gain and lose weight!
Same here.
Thanks so much Dr.! You changed my life!
