@drjasonfung. How long should a person with type 2 fast for?
Thoughts on Probiotics during extended fasts? 7-30 day intervals
Hi Dr. What about chewing gum?
Thank you! I've been fasting 16hours everyday for the last years and it has helped greatly with my PCOS, hypothyroidism & hyperinsulinism (have all my labs from the last 3 years, if it could be useful data I would love to share them, just let me know an email where I can send them) and today is the first time I have fasted for 40hours..Im starting to cook as I watch this video cause Im feeling hungry. And I will keep trying to get to the 3 days mark. Thank you!
I had a diet with 6 meals a day with small healthy amounts of food. It made me lose 15kg. Because my metabolism didn't work appropriate. Now i gained 4kg and want to try intermittent fasting, but i'm scared that my metabolism shuts down again. What should i do?
Two years ago I had really become desperate to gain control of my poor eating habits after 40 years of yo-yo dieting. I was at my heaviest and so unhappy. I prayed to Jesus for help…next day up popped Dr. Fung on my video feed, an answer to prayer. I started with 16/8, then easily progressed to OMAD. I lost 60 pounds in 6 months; along the way my body was telling me “this is the way”. Now, two years in and counting, my weight has stabilized and I’m finally living a normal healthy life, free of food controlling me. I am forever grateful to Jesus my Savior and to the remarkable Dr. Fung.
This is awesome 👏 thanks your comment helps me and hopefully many many more
How much did you lose?
❤❤same, prayed asking God for strength and wisdom and here I am
Awesome!❤
I’m just going through the same process and I’m giving God all the Glory and Dr Fung I was crying over this morning and it made me so mad at my self I prayed and believed in myself and in Jesus Christ every day I pray and thank God holding my hand . I will never forget or stop what God has and still doing for me Amazing Father I service amen
Have you ever noticed when you go to bed hungry you wake up feeling fine, but go to bed after eating a giant meal and you wake up starving? 😊
Yes indeed
You are so right!
I find that I can't sleep well after eating right before bedtime.
Exactly.i do feel the same
YES, EVERY TIME.
Holy crap! It actually works! 😀😀! I started 3 weeks ago, fasting 16 hours a day and went from 202lbs to 189lbs!! Going to keep going !
Hello! What were /are you eating during your meal periods? Thank you
Did you also restrict calories or?
I lost 72 pounds in 73 days just by intermittent fasting and light exercise. Thank you Dr. Fung ❤
How heavy were you to start with? Losing that much that quickly makes me wonder.

I bumped into Dr.Jason Fung today in one of the Asian restaurants. He is extremely friendly and humble!!! He even came over to my table and allow my family taking a picture of him and me!!!! ❤❤
So, he was cheating!!!😂
@@time2heal no?! He can have keto friendly lunch 🥗
Cool !
@@time2heal The key word is INTERMITTENT
Toronto, right?
Because of Dr. Fung and the facts he provides..I went from 190-142…I am no longer on statins, blood pressure meds and I just weaned off my meds for depression..I feel great.
That's awesome!@! 🎉🎉🎉
Good for you! 🙌 those drugs are horrible for you.
Doctors just made things worse. They got a feee holiday from the drug company though😢
Congrats! 🎉
Congratulations 🎉 🌻 I am working the willpower to stop snacking at work.
When I'm hungry...I keep thinking "Burn that stupid fat block at my tummy". Thank you Doc for consistently remind us of how to fast properly.
When I explain this to friends, family and patients it's kind of easy. If you are hungry you are losing weight, if you are full you are gaining weight. Hunger is your friend and a natural part of the human condition.
Its a nice explanation but not necessarily true. I eat a ketogenic diet so often don't get hungry even if I don't eat for quite a long time because I'm fat adapted and used to running on ketones. Hunger has been demonised over many years so the prospect of hunger is what puts a lot of folks off trying
I love this analogy 🥰
100 %
I’m so used to alternate day fasting now that I can live my life without a craving. I cook for my family without a desire to taste and eat myself, I can grocery shop and be around others while they eat without being triggered. Once you get to this level nothing can break you.
Yes I agree ...when u don't really care whether u eat or not In any situation.....then fasting is easy
How long does getting to this point take?
That so true
I fast on a 20:4 window , and when my 4 hour eating window I open I eat 1 apple about 6 spears of pineapple and 1 cup of steel cut oats. Is this okay ?
That's wonderful! Congrats. The same here. Intermittent fasting became my lifestyle. 🌹❤️
Dr. Fung, you don't know how much I love you ❤. I started intermittent fasting last year and it became my life style. I feel great, healthy and good about myself. I had eczema in one area of my body all my life and is gone now. I had some other skin itching that I have seen 5 different dermatologists, 2 allergists and all kinds of tests, creams, anti-allergic medicine….. For 2 years but none of them worked. After fasting for 17-20 hours for a few weeks my skin issues are gone. I usually don't write much comment but I thought this might help some people. ❤❤❤ Oh, I forgot to say I was diabetic type 2 and was taking Metformin. I stopped taking it after 2 weeks of fasting. Don't need it no more.
Thank you for sharing and congratulations!🎉
I am so happy for you and many ❤❤❤
Congratulations!! What is the type of your diet?Is it Low carb and high fat?
Congratulations and it's boost my confidence to start it
@@mithidas4295 yes, I usually don't eat many carbs anyway. I eat a lot of vegetables , much less fruits than before, using only avocado oil, coconut oil and olive oil. I try not to eat between 16 to 20 hours. At the beginning sounds very hard bcz of our bad habits that we eat all the time but gradually you use to it and finally you love it. Because of results you see. Good luck
2 weeks ago I was 520lbs. Size 72 pants. Had to have everything delivered because I couldn’t walk more than 5 minutes without my back seizing up.. 2 weeks later I’m already down 40lbs. All due to Carnivore eating and fasting. Any mainstream doctor who calls fasting and carnivore lifestyle a ‘fad’ or ‘conspiracy’ is lieing to you! Keep up the great content Dr Fung. You are changing peoples lives, and I won’t stop til I get all the way to a healthy weight again!

I subbed to you cos I like your attitude. Hope your channel gets big 🔥
Awesome!!!
That's amazing!
@@oaabao When did he say it was all fat?
"If you build habits, you don't need willpower." ❤️ it
Yeah you do, if you have ADHD. Although some habits do work over time.
Hey Dr Fung I'm from Cape Town South Africa a type 2 diabetic, and watching your channel I learned about intermittent fasting. Well since then about a year now I've lost 23kgs from 131kgs to 108 kgs. Thanks for knowledge I have gained.
Well done to you for your hard work!
hi, well done!!! I was born in cape town but living in Austria due to marriage! a question? were you on diabetic medicine and if yes. did you take it during interval fasting
Dr Fung is a true hero for those trying to lose weight but who have always struggled. I’m 13 kgs down. This stuff works and it’s free. 🇦🇺
Exactly I lost 10 kgs with not much effort
Well it's easy in NZ with the food prices. Fckn ripoff

@@sallyrichardson6078 oh true I missed the one star lol
I lost 50 lbs after reading Dr. Fung’s “Obesity Code”. I have maintained this weight loss for 2 years. I am 73 and started yo-yo dieting when I was 19. Thank you Dr. Fung! I wish I had learned about IF decades ago!
Clean fasting is key. Cream in the coffee, flavored zero calorie drinks spiked my hunger and made fasting hard. Switching to just black coffee and water made it easy. Fasting also feels amazing. I've never enjoyed my food more. I'm 5'5" 121 lbs after being 130 lbs for 20 years. Habits beat willpower. Thank you Dr Fung.
I was told 4 months ago that I needed to increase my diabetes meds because my A1C was 8 and my fasting glucose was 8.75. I already eat very healthy and exercise regularly but I begged him to let me try IF for 3 months. My A1C is now 6.6 and my fasting glucose was 4.9. I’m really thrilled that I could take some control of my own health. I lost 20 lbs but that’s not the important number to me.
That is so awesome!!!🎉
Well done!
Yay!!
Hi i am diabetic for 25 yrs i am trying intermittent fasting but i am facing low sugar issue in midnight and high morning sugar and disturbed sleep how to handle this pls guide and share yr experience
This is fabulous. Congratulations. Thank you for the encouragement. Something you said got my attention. You said you "begged" your doctor. I know this is just an expression, but so many people have this idea that the doctors are the boss. We have to remember they work for us. We also need to remember that they are selling products that we don't necessarily have to buy.
I started a fasting diet 4 weeks ago. I've been doing a 36 hour fast from Sunday night to Tuesday morning and 16:8 Tuesday to Saturday. I started this because my A1C was tested 3 months ago and was 8.4 and just trying to control carbs wasn't being tremendously successful, my blood sugars were all over the place. Fasting has lowered my blood sugars and I just had my A1C tested and it's now down to 6.0. I've lost some weight but not as much as I'd hoped, but to drop my A1C by 2.4 points in such a short period of time is reason enough to continue.
Congratulations!! Were you on anti- diabetic medications? Did you experienced hypoglycemic symptoms during fasting? How did you managed such distress if happened?
How many meals u eat a day? What r ur hours of eating?
that's actually pretty impressive. A1c levels typically take a few months to lower.
@@mithidas4295 Yes, I'm on metphormin, jenuvia, and glipizide. I don't take anything until I'm ready to eat so hypoglycemia really wasn't an issue. I do include some carbs when I do eat which levels out the glipizide. After this post I did have hypglycemia twice, one where I was traveling and eating junk, it came on late at night so I just went to bed. The other time I'd eaten no carbs and ate some fruit gummies which I keep around for that purpose.
@@amyyong6250 2, noon to 8. Few to no carbs M-F, I'll have carbs on the weekend.
"Ride the hunger wave." Absolutely, I've been riding ghrelin waves thanks to you for years. Uncomfortable/"hard" at first, but the more you ride, the easier and more doable it gets. Thanks, Dr. Fung!
I hope that is the case, I have given up IF due to feeling so darn hungry.
@@Dreblueskies It takes time and practice. Most importantly extend your fasting times GRADUALLY, eat well (healthy and enough) when you do eat, and be kind to yourself.
@@AzaleaBee Thank you for the encouragement. I think both of those points I really needed. ☺️
Me too. "Ride the hunger wave', it is so easy.
@@flarica64 Well, it isn't always easy, but it generally gets easier with practice.
After integrating fasting into my lifestyle, I realized something: Are we eating because we need to or are we eating because we want to; or is it neither and we're eating due to habit because it's part of a routine that we're used to (breakfast, lunch, dinner). After that epiphany, I decided that if I'm not hungry come meal time, I skip that meal until the next meal time. If my body craves nutrients, it will let me know by making me hungry. Eat when you're hungry, and don't eat when you're not hungry. Simple as that.
I think people eat when they’re bored and/or actually thirsty also.
0:17: 🕒 Fasting is a normal part of the day where you don't eat, allowing your body to use stored calories for energy. 2:47: 🕒 Fasting can include drinking fluids like water, herbal teas, or coffee without sweeteners or cream, as they have no calories and won't break your fast. 4:50: 🍽 Intermittent fasting is an easy and effective way to control eating habits and promote weight loss. 7:20: 🕒 When starting a new fasting period, hunger is normal but will eventually go away as the body feeds on stored calories. 9:42: ! When starting a fast, it is important to expect and address potential issues such as headaches, dizziness, dehydration, constipation, diarrhea, changes in blood glucose and energy levels, insomnia, triggers, and the importance of having support.

Personally, the most difficult part is cooking for the rest of the family. I easily fast during working time at the office. The weekend is more complicated. Recently i didcovered the alternate day fasting, which unblocked my menopausal metabolism for good. Fasting is a miracle. The body reacts so well to it!
Did you prepare for ADF and how?
Thanks Jason lost and kept off 54 lbs for 1 year now. The first 2 weeks were hard now it is just a way of life now.
How did you get through the first 2 weeks? I really struggle when I feel hungry.
@@niveajones6400Me too! I feel like I am hungry every waking hour ☹️
@@niveajones6400 Find activities when you feel hungry. Drink a large glass of water. Take a good look at yourself...naked ...in the mirror and realize you are worth😊 having better health and trimness
@@niveajones6400 I’m at the beginning stage and lost 9 lbs but I had to up my protein. If I don’t get enough protein I’m so hungry. Drink lots of water when in the fasting phase.
My stomach was rumbling those first two weeks too 😂😂😂😂 i was ready to give up but now here we are week 8 doing 18:6 and my body has adjusted
I'm down 16.7 pounds in the last 17 days of alternate-day fasting and reducing my carbs. This stuff works!!
Did you prepare for ADF or just jumped in?

Thankful heart❤... Dr Jason thanks for saving my life.. dx T2 6 yrs ago with stage 2 CKD and retinopathy... All reversed doing keto and IF.. no medication I'm 70...
Lost 23kg so far, doing IF more less for 5 months OMAD and trying 48-72 prolonged fasting, never been this awesome
From 215lbs down to 190lps so far. Thank you Dr.!
I have PCOS and thanks to u Dr I lost 3 and a half stone, thank u so much ❤
I don't need any more convincing that fasting is the answer, but I still play the videos while I read through the success stories in the comments. I personally like to do 24-48 hr fast, just because I find it easier when I don't have to think about food at all
Exactly!! Our bodies need a break from food! I wish I could get my husband to learn this because he thinks he might die if he misses a meal. After 24 hours I don't really even feel that hungry and I feel SO much better after a fast. (The longest I've done is 39 hours but daily i try to maintain the 14-10 fast.) Thanks for the info Dr. Fung.
For me the most important thing was understanding that the hunger would pass and I learned that from Dr. Fung. Now it’s easy to “ride the wave.” Much appreciated!
"if you have the habit, you don't need to have willpower". Very powerful and true!! Dr Jason Fung is a God send. I listen to him since 2018 and it definitely changed my life! Love you Doctor, you are saving lives! ❤
Watched him on Diary of a CEO, OMG. So amazing. I've been doing it on and off, I just started back. Thank you soooo much.
I lost 40 pounds in less than 2 months with walking every morning (while fasted ) and implementing a strict 20-4 eating schedule or OMAD on select days. When I break my fast, I break it with a salad or healthy foods. I also eliminated rice, pasta, bread etc. This works because your mindset is forever changed, you look at eating and what you put into your body differently.
Congratulations, I trust your journey is continuing and you're doing well.....all the best.
Dr Fung, as always, your advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Dr. Fung. You’re one in a million. Appreciate your support and advice as we navigate the road to good health.
Your explanations are so clear and supporting. A big THANK YOU ❤
I appreciate this video. I needed the reminders and I respect your no nonsense and very direct way of communicating. Thank you.
Dr Jason Fung. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. You helped me so much in 2021-2022, I did the intermediate fasting for six months and I lost 19 kilos. My health and energy got better and better. At the end of 2022, I had depression and I found comfort in food, sugar and heavy carbs😞. I gained all the weight back and my health collapsed again. I am tired of this fat around my belly, also menopause. There are days I feel strong to start to do fasting again but there are days that I feel down 😞. I went to my GP here in London but it seems they don't care 😡. Today, I am watching your video again and looking for strength to lose weight 🙏.
I hope things work out for you. Dr. Fung does mention doing IF with a partner. Maybe you can find someone. Good luck.
Sending healing vibes and positive energy to you! ❤❤ you can do this!
Fight that urge 👍🏼 it gets easier as time goes 20 hours is nothing now plus don’t overeat because you haven’t eaten 🙏🏼

August 17 2023:: Consistency builds on habits! How brilliant is that statement.

What an incredible ans sound information you continue to present. Thank you Dr Fung
Im so glad I found your channel a few months ago. I'm 66, and after getting a 6.8 a1c report, I got my act together. In March of 2023, I started clean keto & Intermittent fasting. Ive lost 60 pounds, and my a1c in May was 5.2! Doctor is happy. I walk, and do omad. This is for the rest of my life. ❤

How long it tks to loose
@@mzeekhan4899 when I do it correctly an average of about 5 lb a week
Hey! Thanks for this! I am one of those guys who was doing Keto religiously and then added this intermittent fasting to it. It was like rocket fuel for my weight loss, but I let the idea that I could eat anything I wanted creep in and started adding carbs. At first it worked but then the carbs would make me a lot hungrier and I let adding carbs undermine my discipline. So basically I fell off the wagon. But this makes it seem doable and I am committed again. I know that hunger goes away and that it is just a matter of doing something that takes your mind off of it. Lucky for me I have a four and a half month old son. Should be pretty simple to be distracted from food since I don't eat out of bottles. :)
Same happens to me ! Specially when I do on vacations or something. But we need to get back to IF and eating healthy most of the time ❤
Thanks Dr. Fung! In my early 40s and was diagnosed with pre-diabetes Type II, I don't want to deal with all the issues my parents and grandparents have dealt with. Thanks for sharing these videos!
Thanks. Remember that type 2 diabetes is a dietary disease and only fixing the diet will affect it. Best of luck to you!
Dr. Fung do you really know how many people from all over the world you’re helping. How many people are showing their blessings to you and your family from all over the world . Thank you for helping.

Breakfast had always been the easiest for me to omit since my college days. In fact, the more I eat for breakfast, the hungrier I got so I didn't eat until lunch.
hello there Dr, thank you for all you do!
God bless you Dr. Fung, you are a Hero, Genius... Thank you so much for explaining what fasting is and the benefits in simple words. Xo ❤
Yes,you have assisted many people all over the world. I started watching this man about 2 years now I have become a doctor for my own body.
In my 40s I thought I was stuck with a gut and would keep getting fatter into my 50s. Ditching sugar and grain and one month of OMAD followed by a few weeks of 16:8 I dropped over 30lbs and lowered my bodyfat from 30% to 15%. Cardio endurance has tripled and I'm doing calisthenic exercises I was scared to do just two months ago due to back pain. Never thought I could get better abs in my 40s than I could in my 20s, but fasted workouts just shred the fat off the midsection. This drastic improvement has been in under two months, following traditional 6 small meal a day low-fat diet advice this would have been an extremely painful 8-12 month battle for me to get this amount of progress. Going from a tight 36-30 pant size to a loose 32-30 in 7 weeks is insane. The people saying 1-2 lbs a week is safe are full of crap, if it takes over a year to get the results you are after most people give up before they reach their goals. Other benefits- my chess rating has improved due to clearer thinking, less muscle soreness and faster recovery, and arthritis pain in hands and feet gone. Clearer complexion, smaller pores, no cravings. The appetite control with a fasting and low carb diet is crazy, i sometimes have to remind myself to eat more calories because I am satiated so quickly. My favorite dinner is a grassfed ribeye with asparagus. Post workout snack (3-4 hours after exercise to maximize post exercise fat oxidation) is herring or venison jerky and pistachios. Did have to supplement magnesium glycinate and add lots of salt to my food which stopped the weakness and cramping/insomnia around weeks 3-4. Once I got my electrolytes right I felt amazing- look and feel 20 again after years of abusing myself with glucose and processed food.
Why specifically pistachios?
@@denisemartin3603 high in copper which is important when consuming a lot of beef which is high in zinc. A proper zinc/copper ratio is important to maintain. They are also one of the few food sources of melatonin which is one of only a couple antioxidant compounds proven to be useful for mitochondrial health. Also I like them.
@@andrewbellinger6120 thank you!!! I actually eat pistachios all the time just because I love them which is why I asked. Have never heard of of the copper/zinc stuff. Your transformation is amazing. I need to pull my head out of my butt and get serious. Ive been doing fasted runs and workouts and love it! Just starting IF and low carb again.
Thank you for your informative videos! Would you consider making a video on 72 hour fasts and how often it can be done to maximize health benefits? Thank you!
Amazing tips! Thank you!! How to control hunger pangs post workouts during the intermittent fasting?

Been following you since 2017. You give great advice 💪
These were useful tips for beginners. Intermittent Fasting is a working algorithm for weight loss.
Thank you Dr.Fung ❤😊
Thank you so much for these video's Dr.Fung! I have started fasting about a week ago. I am thinking of buying one of your books about fasting. But you seem to have three books about intermittent fasting. Could you maybe tell me what book you recommend for a newbie in fasting?
After fasting I always overeatting. That's my main issue. Thanks Dr Fung. I won't give UP!❤
reduce carbs and zero carbs on the meal after a fast.
Perhaps you are eating the wrong foods. Stick to healthy fats and proteins and low carbs. No ultra processed foods as they are made to make us hungry at all times.
Love your videos. I was pre-diabetic at an A1C of 6.1. I started eating low carb and that helped a bit. I started intermittent fasting and that also helped a bit. I am around 5.7 or 5.8 now. I recently saw the videos by Dr. Roy Taylor and Nicola Guess, PhD. They both said it almost doesn't matter what you eat, you need to lose weight and THAT is what makes your diabetes go away about 80% of the time. Fasting helps a little, low carb helps a little but losing weight is the key. They both seem to say that low carb and fasting are just calorie restriction, you lose weight and diabetes get better. I never really focused on losing weight, I am not "fat" at 5 feet 10 inches and 163 pounds. But I do have the "belly fat" and am going to lose 10 to 15 pounds. I am now eating carbs again but restricting total calories to lose the weight. If I simply don't eat past 2pm (that is my fast) I lose at least a half a pound a day....I am pretty active, half a pound a day, it's nuts! I will let you know what happens with my next A1C test. An interesting experiment would be to have diabetics eat Keto but... eat so much that they do not lose, or even gain weight and track their A1C. That would prove that it is the weight loss that is curing the diabetes and not the carb restriction. Good luck to all of you.
It's been proven already. Visceral fat is the main driver of NIDDM. You just can't find much about it on social media outside of pure medical research. Losing weight doesn't sell junk food, cholesterol and diabetes drugs and cardiac catheterizations.
My cousin was diabetic for many years. He recently lost about 40 pounds by just eating LESS. No special diet, no fasting and his diabetes went away, the Dr. took him off his meds. So, I agree...lose weight!
Keeping the proper body weight is the key 🔑 👌
Thank you. That’s so useful to know.
First of all as a side note, My husband is Type1diabetic. He is keto. He also practices IF. His blood sugar is most stable with this way of eating. For Type2.... it is chicken or egg first question. Do we lose weight and cure diabetes or by curing diabetes we lose weight? I found out 2.5 months ago that I am prediabetic. So I started IF and eating low carb and checking my glucose regularly. Although my focus has been curing diabetes, I noticed I have also released 12 lbs so far. I will see what my A1C is in two weeks when I return for another blood test.
Thank you for sharing this important information.
Thank you Dr Jason Fung, you are awesome great ❤, I follow most of you tube videos, they are simple , clear and understandable, and I am now able to move up to OMAD protocol easily
I literally can’t remember the last time I was hungry. I eat just to eat. Yes I am overweight by 60lbs or so. It’s time to turn on that switch and start fasting.
Great video Dr. Fung and very well delivered. Simple, clear, concise and practical. People over complicate fasting because…. Well they want to eat!!! (But also lose weight…😂) thank you! ❤😂🎉
This guy was born for this. Especially for KZhead. Hes great to listen to.
Life changing! Thanks
I love this man!!! Your voice is so relaxing and knowledged. Keep up the great work Doc.❤
I do IF/TRE 18:6 doing good.
It's because of you I've been Fasting over 3 years. Im also a vegetarian over 30yrs. Fasting has made me even more healthy!
Thank you so much, you explained this perfectly!
Hey Dr. Fung, can you do a video on whether prolonged fasting (3-7+ days) is safe for people with heart conditions, including heart failure? Thank you :)
I am so glad I started doing IF. It's been 3 months now. I did start eating healthier and exercising about 2 months prior to that as well. I've lost 36 lbs so far. I was 220, now 184. I'm 5' 8" tall. I do either 18:6 or OMAD and both are effortless for me to do now which is crazy for me to be able to say that lol. A huge portion of my gut is gone. I am down a FULL 2 sizes (was 2XL now a large). I can't really say I'm doing KETO. I've greatly reduced my carbs but not completely eliminated them. Although I have reduced my sugar intake I am still eating deserts after dinner. That is SOOOO hard to give up for me. I'm going to try and at least reduce that further. I'm also not eating at all other than my actual meal time(s). ZERO snacking including nothing between supper and bed time and for me that's huge because I was horrible at that prior to doing all of this.
@Kyarrix yep I know this....not even sure myself why I did that. Probably because I've seen others do that.
Great job! I myself was 220 pounds at 5' 8", I started 5 weeks ago, on OMAD and lost 17 pounds so far. Feel better than I ever did before. My aim is to further lose about 20-25 pounds . Keep up the good work!
You'll get there, my friend! Keep going; you didn't develop those habits overnight, and you shouldn't expect to get rid of them overnight. I've been there. It gets easier as you discover how wonderful a healthy life can be! One tip: reduce or eliminate processed foods from your diet. That made a huge difference for me.
@kathcares Thanks and I have (processed foods)......my problem is I'm still eating desserts after dinner. Ugh....so hard to give those up however overall I'm eating WAY less sugars and have big time reduced my carbs. Thanks.
You are not alone. I recently learned that I’m pre-diabetic so I’ve been trying to cut carbs and sugars, but it is so hard. Baked goods bring so much joy to my life. I feel so depressed at the thought of never eating another pastry or piece of cheesecake 😢
Thank you Jason. I love learning from you about fasting. Very inspirational!😊
Great guide and exposition
…i’m an Italian GP and actually i’m living in a constant basal fasting state ( i consider fasting as my everyday routine) and sometimes i eat ( from 1 to 4 Times a week…trying to eat healthy following the paleo-keto- bio diet as much as possibile…i indulge only with Alcohol cause I’m an expert ). Every time I eat I feel so bad as after a Chemotherapy Session…every time I’m looking forward to dive again in my loving fasting state…thank you Jason…
Many thanks Dr. jason sir, for the excellent information.
I too prayed to Jesus for help & then I came across Dr. Jason Fung! Thank you Holy Spirit for leading me to this remarkable man😊
Hello from Scotland Dr Fung, I started a meat, eggs & Greek yogurt diet 3 weeks ago due to a list of health ailments, I was on a high carb diet before, lots of sweets & cakes too, I only recently found out about going ketogenic so it was all new to me a couple of months ago, within a week of starting the diet i was down to eating twice a day without any trouble as I felt full after eating, then I discovered your intermittent fasting video last week, I'm here a week later after only eating between 14:00 - 18:00 for the last 6 or 7 days and I'm feeling better within my stomach and insides than I can ever remember being my whole adult life, my basic health issues for years has been down to gluttony, I'm intending on intermittently fasting for ever now, I am going to try my first 3 day fast in a week or two's time, that will have givin me a month or so to adjust to my new diet and adjust to intermittent fasting before doing the 3 days, I never intend to going back to those old habits again as I feel invigorated by this enlightenment in eating/dietery habits, thanks for the sound advice mate, cheers
