@@Hippy2021 not many ppl in this world sits on their asses with nothing to do n too much time on their hands to listen to something that long. Which can be clarified much faster.
This man is so correct, I am in a whole plant base lifestyle for many years now, but I completely agree with what he is saying. I was diagnosed with diabetes when I was 38 years old and took medication for 10 years. According to my doctor, I needed to be on medication for the rest of my life, but I started to do my own research, and with a lot trial and error I was able to reverse diabetes and many other issues for that matter. I took my last medication on February 19 2007 and as today I am diabetes free. I don’t eat any processed foods, oils or store bought bread. My wife makes a bread with oats, flax and psyllium husk and that’s the only bread I eat. My last meal of the day is at 5pm and don’t eat breakfast. So I do 18,20 almost every day. I do a 24 hours fast once in a while. I am 65 years old 5’ 11 and weight 150 pounds. My A1c is 5.2 and feel better now than I did when I was 30. I exercise 6 days a week. I know there is a big fight in the social media about different diets and lifestyles, but I say, take the best that is scientifically proven and apply it to your life and situation.
It's interesting how different we all are. I was very sick on a plant based diet but am doing amazing on a carnivore diet. I did intermittent fasting and avoided gluten, sugar, seed oils, and processed foods on both.
@@HappilyCarnivore Oreos and pop are plant based… I’d feel like crap if I ate that too… oh and that fake meat 🤢 Real food is the best 🐠 🍖 🥦🥕🥗 🍷 🍏 🍎 🥚 🍗
@@mr.fluffy770 I felt horrible eating actual real vegetables, nothing processed. I love vegetables, but my health and life have improved so much since I gave them up.
This doctor changed my life. I was 11.9 A1C. Took this man's advice. Lost 52 pounds. I have had an A1C of 6.5 for the last 2 years. I'm still losing weight. No more insulin injections. No more diabetic drugs. Thank you, Dr. Fung.
You rock. I want to take a bullhorn to the world to proclaim the doctor's teachings. I got my A1c from 10.1 to below 6 in 3 months, lost 22 lbs, no meds. I am 62. Feel much younger. Happy for you!!
Thank you for sharing your story. Can you please share safe foods to eat while on diabetic, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol medications? What foods should I completely stay away from? Thank you
My own doctor has me on this same process and our goal is to eliminate my Lantus insulin therapy. I was having DKA with colitis attacks and my previous doctor just kept telling me that I have a lot of dietary sensitivity. I though my life was simply ending because of diabetes. Then he retired. MY new doctor took me off of Invokana immediately and we started down a new path: No added sugar, mostly whole foods made at home. No more attacks and my insulin dose is down. I am 61 , 5' 11", 163 and I had an A1c test last week....8.3, but I have also had surgery recently which makes sugar management difficult at best. the last few days my fasting BG when waking was under 120. Woohoo!
was diagnosed diabebetes last week at 250lbs. I am determined to reverse this disease no matter what it takes since day one i have ner touched any carbohydrates or sugars in my mouth . I have gone immediately into diabetes diet and walking an hour everry day and exercising . I must defeat this disease by doing anything that is required. I am only 57 yrs old and I need my life back
I agree 100%. I follow a Carnivore lifestyle. In five months I lost over 40 lbs, taken off my diabetic meds. Removed brain fog while gaining tons of energy. Even my stage 3b kidney failure has improved. Do your own research for yourself. I will never eat any other way. ❤
It’s the “maintaining” life style and being in good health with labs which will tell you how successful you are. I took off 40lbs Keto and fasting 24-36 hours twice a week felt fantastic and the labs came back horrible. I still do low carb and fast only 14-16 hours and I am slowly pulling off weight game after the lose and horrible labs. Everyone is different. It’s slowly working now and I hope labs are 😌 good.
When I try to tell people that eggs, fat, meat is good for your health, they think I'm crazy. The society (government) jammed this idea into our heads for decades and it's hard to wake up from this matrix
@@MrHellgate82 so true ! Even when I show them a snap shot from American institute of medicine saying meat , fats & cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease. They just say it must be a fake site 😬
@@MrHellgate82 Taken from the American journal of medicine, but they wont publicise the changes they have put on there site. Done quietly Re : The focus should be placed on healthy food-based diet patterns that include more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, seafood, legumes, dairy products, and less consumption of sugary snacks and drinks and refined grains. Meat can be part of the diet, and here is no justification to restricting saturated fat intake. Limit portion size at mealtimes. Control weight by avoiding excess food and snack consumption. There is no "best diet." All diets that lower calories will work equally well. The better the patient can adhere to the diet, the better
I reversed type 2 by ommitng all grains , processed food and sugar, I also have only 1 meal at tea time, intermitting fasting, I've lost loads of weight and feel great.
You can google it, our grains are sprayed with glyphosate. This might be the problem. There must be something else like environmental poisons, e.g. glyphosate that is almost in all our foods. A poison that stops the pancreas from working properly. That's why practically all Americans and Europeans are pre-diabetic. Same in India where they also use glyphosate. Diabetes cannot be caused simply by eating carbs and sweets. In the fifties and sixties, all children were eating sweets like mad. Near every school was a sweet shop. But no young people had diabetes. Among African tribes which eat directly from nature diabetes is unknown.
I have no more rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure , high cholesterol or back pain, I have no need for prescribed meds anymore. Massive difference. I take clean vitamins also,
Dr Fung saved my life and his books are simple to read and I quit sugar and eat one meal a day after reading his books two years ago. Now I am still Omad, no sugar, once in a while, I have lunch, ice cream and dessert with my daughter or friends. No cravings, normal a1c, more energy, more mental clarity, better sleep, more happiness!
I cat thank dr fung enough, I was diagnosed type2 diabetes in adelaide australia in May I was so sick as had bgl of 33mmmol aic of 12, found the videos after research my aic is now 6mmol, no insulin or metformin , all I get is ozempic, my husband can't understand how I eat, but he is stuck in the old ways, and a bit of denial I'm a registered nurse , I knew something was wrong with me but getting anyone to listen is a different matter, thankyou Dr Fug
I have Type 2 diabetes. My AIC was 11.2. I was insulin resistant with inflammation. Sugar was poison to me. Gave up almost all Carbs. No bread. No added Sugar, no grains,!any starch except Sugar just Pasta. Good omega 3 fat . Metformin and calories restriction. I am now burning fat instead of sugar. AIC is now5.7. Thanks for getting the word out. Lost 85 lbs.
This interviewer is masterful and one of the best I have ever seen. Not one single interruption while Dr. Fung spoke. Most interviewers want to display their little knowledge so they interrupt when the interviewee is saying something important. Interviewer is also very knowledgeable and intuitive as he asked almost every question that was in my mind. The only thing he missed was getting a list of specific foods recommended by Dr. Fung
I was 343 in April 2022. Today at 245. All from whole food, eliminating sugar and fasting. Understanding what insulin did made a huge difference for me.
@@ryanbyrge7302 mostly 1 or 2 meals a day and we no longer do refined carbs. Last night we did a burger with no bun, cauliflower bake and salad. Saturday salmon and broccoli with a salad. If we have breakfast. We do eggs with a protein. Biggest change is very little refined carbs though. We used to be big on say. Mac and cheese. Now we might do a potato. No bread really. No pasta. Or very little compared to how we use to eat.
I am following his books 📚 since 68 days I'm doing OMAD non stop with no sugar or processed food at all. And walking for 2 hour's Daily. There is a huge change both physically and psychologically.
@@pritamsukhija3818 Before I was craving and you know better how is our traditional sweets in India it's fully packed with numerous desserts and it's all mouth watering, so killing my craving for sweets, and fast food and processed food was the core of this routine than I started increasing more ideas to get better. Now I just take my first and last meal at afternoon and I don't have any upsets I'm just clocked to this routine and I take sufficiency according to my needs.
Me too - then went to 36 hours and 50+ hours and more recently to 80 hours. Felt so much better and with no hunger due to a fat adapted body But it requires careful blood glucose monitoring and proper dietary advice and medical guidance if you have health issues. Generally 72-78 hours will break stubborn insulin resistance but intermittent fasting will still be required after the fasting.
I started 2months ago 16:8 And now finding I can easily go 18:6. I hope thats progress! Feeling clear headed mostly, weight hasnt significantly dropoed yet. Walking, most days, sleeping well 7 hrs consistently!
I agree 100%. I have had diabetes for 24 years. I was taking 54 units of Lantus daily and 4-12 units of Novalog daily plus Metformin daily. In Nov. 2022, I started a low carb
I have never listened this long to a video but Dr Fung held my attention because what he is saying makes a lot of sense. I will be following him to get my A1C down and take less medication. I am happy I found this video. God Is Good To Me.
Re: flour. I recently saw a video where a cardiologist described flour as not a food but a storage medium: it was a survival food saved to get through the winter and harsh times. But now we consume it every day, every meal. It was never meant to be a daily staple
This explains SO MUCH about my life. I recently went back to eating like I did when I was young (in the 60s) and living on our farm. I eat fats and NO processed foods. My blood sugar is now almost perfect and I am rarely EVER hungry throughout the day. I was diagnosed as Type 2 in my late 40s and have been on meds since then. My doc has lowered the dosage on my meds and has stated that he will take me off of them if the test results hold as they are now. I am so glad I found this video.
Really ? Then I should start to do the same. I just finish watching this video and I feel more sick because everything Dr. Jason Fung was talking is truth.
Good for you I am a child of the sixties too and have also gone back a natural farm style diet. I feel great. I was not officially diagnosed with diabetes but I had so many symptoms and they are all gone I. Just two weeks.
OMG SOMEONE who knows the answer to why 😢and how we gain weight. Dr Fung thank you n so very much. Your view of treating insulin problem with insulin truly opened my eyes.
One of the best videos ever I watch on RU-vid regarding diabetes. Couple of years ago I was diagnosed diabetic type 2 , my fasting sugar levels were 250 and PPBS around 450, doctor prescribed glycomet gp1 twice a day for about one month I tried it and I started feeling very low after taking the tablet, sugar levels drops below 70, told to doctor about my condition he advised me to keep eating every 2hrs, which was not possible for me, then I started searching remedies on RU-vid to control blood sugar levels spikes, there I came to know about carbohydrates are culprits, then I stopped eating sugar and all high carb foods and started eating chicken mutton beef eggs cheese butter fruits and vegetables. Now my blood sugar levels are 110 fasting and around 150 PPBS. Now I eat only when I feel hungry. Stopped medicine started meditation.
Very clear and informative biology lesson. My takeaway from all these videos from various sources is that diabetes is a form of ' food jail ' where innocent victims are condemned to a life sentence of metabolic hell. The food industry should be faced with a huge class action law suit for the hidden sugar in food. They should be made to pay the medical bills of diabetic induced illnesses like sight deterioration, heart surgery, renal therapy etc. Then make it LAW to stop government subsidies for sugar industry.
They have just diagnosed me with type 2 diabetes, in October 2022. I am learning to understand my body reactions towards certain foods. I've been watching a lots of videos but since I started following Him and doing some of his teachings my suger levels are going down. I am so grateful to his for sharing such knowledge 🙏 💓
Hurrah!!! What a relief to get in the right track!!! We are happy for you. We have so many older friends who do not want to know anything beyond what they are told by "well-meaning" doctors.
You are right about wanting a continuous glucose meter. Mine has been a useful tool in addition to intermittent/extended fasting. I have reversed A1C to 5.2 and have lost about 90 pounds. I believe a CGM should be available over the counter.
Wonderful presentation. I am a type II and mother of a type I who passed away from kidney disease as well as the diabetes. I worked for an endocrinologist for many years and I can say this is the best presentation on diabetes I have seen.
Great - Keto (clean) because I've been fed on sugars all my life and now it's time to hit restart. Find the willpower or die. It's going to be tough, and that's why we need to be united to help each other, rise above and go beyond !
I took a hemoglobin A1C test January 24, 2023. The following month on the morning of February 7, 2023 My doctor told me that my hemoglobin A1C came back 15.1. The doctor prescribed medications but I refuse the Insulin and Metformin so that I can reverse the diabetes naturally and I had immediately changed my eating habits. My doctor was alarmed at me for not wanting to take any meds and started to warn me about all the horrific things that could happen to me because of my high A1C without any meds. Fast forward on April 26, 2023 I had my 3 month hemoglobin A1C and my results on MAY 1, 2023 is 8.1. My doctor was astounded at my test results. Also since February I have lost around 40lbs. I am still eating clean and will be for the rest of my life and have also included walking (6 miles) 3 to 4 times a week. I'm looking forward to my next hemoglobin A1C in 3 months. My fasting glucose in the mornings ranges around 85-92 and 2 hours after dinner ranges around 83-95. I fast for breakfast. Lunch time is between 12p and 2p. Dinner is between 6p and 7p. I use to check my glucose a lot more in the beginning, But these days I only check twice on Mon-Fri and I just recently stop checking on the weekends.
41:08 my Dr just prescribed metformin for me. I took one yesterday and I will not take another one. I will continue to listen to Doctor Feung and use his methods
This makes me furious . I have been doing IF and my A1C has been at 5.5 for the last two testing before that had no tests. My insulin level is one point away from the high range and I’m doing IF . I did lose 31 lbs but weight is going up a bit. I asked my Dr for a glucose monitor but she doesn’t think I need it . Wonder how to go around her. I’ve been doing keto and carnivore for a year and four months. I’m not mad at you just wondering why I’m not being successful as you are. Frustrating. Just venting, sorry!
My dad’s type 2 diabetic, he’s 79, and not overweight, but his fasting glucose in the morning is 7-8.. He eats lightly… 2 eggs & grapefruit in the morning, along with a cup of green/chamomile tea.. He drinks a good amount of water through the day, some raw walnuts, & an apple, for lunch… Light dinner, and green/chamomile tea, after dinner.. He exercises for 30-40 mins everyday
My doctor just told me that I am at type two diabetic and I just can’t believe that so I started doing my own research and I am going to go back to being on keto lose some weight quite a bit of weight about 40 pounds and I will not have to take any of this medication that he wants me to take I do have a metre to check my glucose and all that and hopefully it’ll all go good.
@@shooshenchula692 I weaned myself as they would never teach me my sliding scale. Just keeps loading me down with insulin which is why I think I developed liver disease. I could never lose weight. Figured out my sliding scale on my own and completely changed my lifestyle & lost enough weight where I didn’t need the insulin anymore. 15 pounds from goal weight but still working on my insulin resistance.
I am having that problem now and not really getting help from my endocrinologist. Trying to reverse the fatty liver and diabetes on my own and trying to reduce the insulin. Thanks for your post and congrats on your hard work.
I am a Type 2 diabetic, and my doctor also told me to not fast, they gave me a diet schedule, but I have seen many doctors on RU-vid told about fasting. Which was completely opposite of what my doctor recommended. I am still researching more. For 2 days I didn't take medicine and ate healthy food and went to the gym regularly, my blood sugar level was still the same as when I was taking medicine (It was 136). Now I have lost about 3 Kg (in a month), I feel great, I am off medicine, and my blood sugar is normal (I believe as I lose more fat, I will get back to normal BS level). Also since I started healthy food (mostly organic) I am kind of addicted to these. I haven't had any kind of soda or processed food for over 6 months. And I don't even have craving for it anymore. Eat healthily, walk after eating, and stay away from processed food, sugar is poison and stay away from it. And Exercise regularly. Stay Fit!
I like dr.fung so much he saved my life i was in high blood pressure medication for 4 years and i was pre diabetic. I was 205 pounds, when i started taking off the processed food and fast i lost about 30 pounds and stop taking my high blood medications for the last 3 years and am active and workout everryday for 1 hour. Take hard action today to live easy and beautiful tomorrow. Less is always more.
Sandra Isaacs I haven't seen the interview yet, I usually read the comments first, but I do hope that one of the topics he covers will be eye health, cataracts in particular.
Dr. Fund is the only doctor I know who can explain diabetes disease so clear. I've gone to so many endocrinologist and they just prescribed medication without thorough explanation and just keep on referring me to nutritionists. I was asking my primary doctor to prescribe me free style libre so I can automatically check my glucose but she refused. That's the only way I will know the effects of my food intake but she doesn't think I need it. I was willing to pay a high copay but she refused. So it's better to just listen to Dr. Fung & forget all these unhelpful doctors.
You are forgetting that the same Drs( as a whole) have orchestrated the biggest increase in longevity the world have ever seen. Thus all pension funds and Medicare are bankrupt as people are living too long!
Because of how they are educated. Big Pharma has a huge influence on what Drs are shown. Of course it is a financial positive for Big Pharma and a very negative for Patient Care ans I would believe very frustrating for a Dr.who is not seeing results anticipated by ordering insulin medication oral and injectable.
Dr Jason Fung's explanation can be a life saving. I bought his book The Diabetes Code. He is very thorough. God bless you doctor and thank you very much.
My cardiologist in Niagara Falls is advice 70 something and I was amazed to listen to his advice much like Jason's... stay away from medication especially statins, eat moderately, exercise and IF.
1 of the things people are completely missing - Weight lifting. Muscles burn sugar without help of insulin. You need not be a body builder, but if you work on your main/big muscle group you will help yourself at much higher rate!
Thank you so much for this post. One of the most sophisticated and educational 60 minutes of my life in terms of nutrition and body function. I highly recommend the video. On the internet you can find so much undifferenciated knowledge on the subject, which can sometimes be not only misleading but even dangerous. This post was extremely informative and everyone should see it!
This video was mind blowing! The Bible says We are fearfully and wonderfully made! The way Doctor Fung broke it down was crystal clear! I was told years ago I have fatty liver and I am a type 2diabetic! I am on insulin and I sorted out using humolog and lantus! I was steadily getting fatter! There was never any discussion of how these are all related until you explaining it so very well! Thank you for having fantastic knowable people on your channel to help us help ourselves strive for better life! God bless you both and I am now subscribing to your channel!
Thank you! 😊 I'm trying to eat non processed foods: protein in salmon, halibut and cod,, eggs, Greek plain yogurt, fruit: bb, kiwi, raspberries, strawberries, avocados, pecans, pepitas, ground flax I Greek yogurt, walnuts, cheese, fresh, veggies, olive oil, basilica vinegar, lemon water and I'm trying to fast for Walnuts, hours, hydrate well, drink white tea, small amounts honey, walk at 3× per week for 25 to 45" and I've been doing fasting for a little over a week and my weight is fluctuating by 3 lbs up and down? I don't want diabetes! I'm "75" have 99 of glucose, with a1c of 6.0, overweight by 15 to 17 lbs, labile bp,, and mild hypoglycemia. I find myself frustrated and have trouble after 12, 14 hours of acting but I'm determined to lose weight, get glucose and A1C, BP down and stabilized! Am I just dreaming- if you have any input or suggestions?? Please... Thanks, Ronnye 😊 🧜♀️😊🧜♀️
I have so much love and respect for Dr. Fung, I was so grateful when I found out about him back in 2015. I admire his dedication and his admiration to help people achieve their goals. Dr. Fung is a true, "God sent."
Great video for those who want to understand it thoroughly. Very appreciative of the time a very busy doctor took out of his day to share for free for us.👍
I was probably prediabetic about 14 years ago. I suffered from lethargy, chronic achiness, I just felt like hell. I cut sugar and a lot of carbohydrates, namely refined carbohydrates out of my diet and reversed virtually every ailment I was suffering. I’m in my mid 40’s now and really feel as good as I did in my teens or 20’s. I exercise and go to the gym regularly now. No way I am going back to old ways. Anyone can do this but you gotta want it that’s the bottom line. No gimmicks, no BS, you just gotta change.
@@joansloan7012 I wish you the best of health I really do. With determination you got this 👍. Organ recovery is very real and possible I have witnessed a friend get off of insulin. Remembering these things will help you on your journey. Best wishes.
@@violetdcosta6501 For me personally I primarily drink water. I often currently start my day with two cups of black coffee. I will say though I have quit drinking coffee for periods and believe it’s something best left out if one can. There are worse things but I don’t think i believe it’s necessarily “good” for us really. I never take it with sugar or anything though. Sometimes I will have plain tea, specifically green. And every now and then I get some flavored unsweetened seltzer water, which is kind of like a soda for me. I grew up drinking soda so I kinda miss some fizz sometimes lol. I will also from time to time get a bottle of kombucha. Not too often though. You have to watch the carbs and added sugars on those though some brands are really bad. You can find something around 10g or less if you shop around and read labels. Get one low as possible. Kombuchas at least contain some live cultures good for digestive health vs a juice which will be high in sugar anyway. Combine them with before or after a workout if you can. Don’t get caught up in the sugar free stuff like diet soda, Crystal Light, or anything with sucralose, that stuff is awful for digestion. I can recall my guts and digestion were really messed up during my diet soda drinking years. If you mitigate your sugar intake in general drinks that are really light with just a bit of flavor will start to “pop” better and feel more refreshing over time. A sugary diet with a lot of artificial flavor scorches and dulls up our taste buds and it actually takes some time to regain taste sensitivity. Just keep in mind the primary function of drinking is hydration not flavor so the closer you can always stay to water the better. And I specifically prefer spring water.
this information should be made mandatory for everyone to see and understand, and this could wake us all to keeping healthy, thanks for this, I will be much more aware of what i consume
Almost immediately after taking vitamin c as magnesium ascorbate I have stopped having urges for alcohol and tobacco. I am 6 weeks sober and tobacco free.
I grew up in the 1970s. (68). I had severe anxiety neurosis and ADHD by 1980... and I used to eat Super Sugar Crisp cereal and , white toast with marjorin and jam and a Mt Dew. I was not obese and because I wasn't NO ONE said a thing. I was allowed to eat Chocolate icing out of a can!. I had major mental health ADHD and mood issues.... but no one thought to look at my diet as a thing. Fast forward. I am now 54 Still have anxiety and ADHD and was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder in 2020 and now I also have Diabetes.... KETO helped years ago but the pandemic messed that up. Now I am trying to correct this situation.
Sensible, sober advice: interval fasting, unprocessed natural food and enough sleep = lots of reliable, enjoyable energy. I like Dr. Fung's calm approach and openness to individual solutions.
Brilliant interview. You asked strategic, pinpoint, poignant and overall valuable questions and he gave intrinsic yet simple and understandable responses and examples that anyone, of any age, could understand and easily grasp. Kudos to you both for a great interview 👍🏾
Great interview! I'm a believer! I've lost over 150lbs by learning how to fast and eating low carb, high fat. I'm 59 and I'm off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis pain is so much better and my asthma is gone! I recommend Dr. Fung's book The Obesity Code as it changed my life. I'm so thankful and loving my new life! Many thanks 👍😊🙏
My older sister bought the low fat thing in the late '70s in a big way. She was terrified of being fat, so she thought this style of eating was salvation, never thinking about all the sugar she was consuming in all the processed foods (Snackwell cookies anyone?) She was also a smoker--another effort to not eat. Fast forward 40 years, she managed to maintain her weight for the most part but in her mid 60s she lost her mind to dementia. After trying to research exactly what KIND of dementia she had (doctors couldn't pin point, just dementia) I found out how important fats are to your brain health. All those years of eating as close to NO FAT as she could manage--you know, no egg yokes, no avocados, etc etc--I think was hugely impactful in what happened to her. It infuriates me that the government put out the crap of the 'food pyramid' that was so, so wrong.
Yah thats a shame... I saw a video not long ago some fellow with dementia was put on coconut oil and it seemed to help alot. Its a short or middle chain fatty acid? seemed to be what was lacking
@@nicslakis5043 I had heard that coconut oil has been used with some degree of success too. We tried everything including giving her coconut oil capsules. She got to the point of not really eating or having an appetite. What an irony. She wanted to stay thin all her life and when she was dying, she finally achieved the goal of being under 100 Lbs. (at 5'6" tall)
I've always respected Dr. Fung and his work, he combines a real interest in science with a true humanitarian heart. This interview has been him at his best. Thanks for posting!
Thank you Jesse and Dr. Fung. This is the best interview I've seen on this subject in a long time. You have inspired me to fast more often. I RoccoMend this channel, and Dr. Fung. Jesse, you are an intelligent man, and I love your interview style. I wish more interviewers would let their guest speak without interrupting them.
Last Friday, I got a call from my Dr about my yearly bloodwork. He said that my A1C is 6.4 I'm supposed to get bloodwork every 3 months and then he'll decide if I need medication. I did homework all weekend, then went shopping. So now since Monday, I have been eating whole foods, nothing processed at all. I'm 61 and overweight with copd, so I know it's time to get serious.
Been on keto since 2009. My A1c is borderline 5.7 for years. I can eat bacon ribeye steaks eggs and avocados. I can consume more than 2500 calories and still lose weight. I exercise 4 to 5 times a week anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours each time. I did not work out for 2 weeks when I had flu but I ate the same way, but my weight was mostly the same. I only eat carbs once or twice a week on cheat days . It's not the calories. It's the type of food that you eat. I eat mostly meat eggs and avocados. Not much veggies. I'm 65" tall, 63 yrs old but I have maintained my weight at around 144 for 18 years. It's all about cutting carbs and eating the right food. No grain or grain products, no sugar, no highly processed foods. I eat fatty cuts of meat and eat 12 pasteur raised eggs raised and I've never felt better in my life.
I owe Dr Fung so much. Thanks to his RU-vid channel I learned how to reverse my T2D and through intermittent fasting and weight loss too I have a new lease of life and hope for the future of less or no complications. I've successfully reversed my T2D confirmed through my HbA1c results. Great job Dr Fung. :)
I have watched your videos and read your books. Life changing information. Thank you Dr Fung I plan on keeping diabetes away as long as possible. It runs in my family and I have seen the damage and death in my loved ones. I want NO part of it and with your help I pray I never get it! I now love fasting and all the benefits. Thank you again!
Dr. Fung is amazing!! No one explains Like him. So much I have learnt. Nowadays a lot of doctors follow Dr. Fung’s ideas. I started following vegan diet, fasting and light exercise per a teams of doctor, dietitian and exercise expert that I have. They have same principles as Dr. Fung. I lost fifty pounds in six months. Yesterday was the first time my BMI was 25.
Jesse, you ask great questions. I found you today because I've been following Jason Fung and his intermittent fasting videos and book Diabetes Code is working for me!
i invested in tension bands....a great toy to have by your easy chair.....while watching tv i can do light low intensity tension excercise ...they are small, weightless, and a great way to burn just a bit more than just sitting still...my muscle tone is greatly improving too from simply pulling as little as 20 reps watching cartoons.
Dr Fung is an excellent physician. The bio chemistry of the body was poorly understood by govt and many in the medical community, IMO for years. Dr fung clearly explains the bio chem, the storage mechanisms of the body. Weight loss and better health follows.
I had pre diabetes and lost 45 pounds n 3 months hiking and avoiding sugar n carbs and reverse it also reverse my fatty liver definitely caught on time 🙏🙏
Thank Dr. that is so true. I did fastening and my numbers stayed low. I have gained some weight with taking insulin. I will go back to fasting and weight lifting. Thank you so much.
Thank you Dr Fong and congratulations . You are the best . I have been following you for one year by now and my A1C is 5.4 now and I lost 20 Pounds . I am 70 years old and 5.3 H , and 80 Kg . I still need to lose 10 Kg and reduce the waist line to 80 cm .
Thanks for defining the difference between refined carbohydrates and whole food carbohydrates. And another scary thing is people say do not eat fruit because that is sugar… but there is such a difference between a whole fruit and refined sugar.
Dr. Jason Fung, you really explain how the macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) are transformed in the body in an excellent way ! Really ! Also, you end off by saying there is not a one size fits all, but rather indivualized approaches . To anyone who should read my comment : Dr. Jason Fung explains to us all how the storage of sugars and the effects transfer between 31:00-42 in this video of how the body works... Brilliant !! Thank you so much Dr. Fung and Jesse Chappus for a most excellent video !!!
Dr. Fung, your explanation of urinating causing a flushing of a small portion of glucose from one's pancreas, does explain, for me, why me drinking a lot of water, has usually caused some weight loss. That fact is causing me to start some serious intermittent fasting to assist reversal of current my overweight condition. The simple answer to all this is simply to keep one's mouth shut for as long as is possible, .....and do it on a regular basis!
And to be careful with drinking too much water without maintaining a good electrolyte balance. Water can also flush out your electrolytes as well as the glucose.
I just started to listen to Dr. Fung’s video. I love the educational piece because I want to understand what is going on inside my body. I know I can do the intermittent fasting. I am diabetic and my blood sugar started to climb. I’ve decided I wanted to get off the metformin and high blood pressure meds. This makes sense to me. Thank you so much. I will follow your advice.
After years of setting New Year resolution diet goals, I finally started to lose weight while feeling great w/o a lot of effort by actually watching RU-vid videos & learning how foods digest in your system & what it does. So I started to time my meals around my schedule & choose foods for nutrients & fuel. This made me realize the processed food & sugar and carbs didn’t help my body, like scientifically & didn’t make sense to me why i was eating it anymore.
Excellent! I feel the same! You just get tired of how crapy you feel, mentally & physically when enduring. You want that sane, happy, non angry in control feeling, right? You just get yo a point where " your done" and do what you need & have to do~ God it feels so freeing, food finally ~ DOES NOT RULE YOU.
Type 2 diabetic here, I lost my weight from 72 to 58 kg. Still my A1c is 8 so loosing weight is not working cause with 72kg my A1c was 6. Do note: I don't eat sugar or carb, or any food that build up Suger in my blood. I tried it all and my diabetes never goes away. Fasting sometimes helps but still you can't continue fasting forever but I lost so much weight that it's harmful for my overall health.
Keep plugging away. Whenever it comes to eating something that drives my blood sugar up …. the Holy Spirit of God asked me to look down and I said my feet? Do you want to keep them? Then eat the right way! I worked at a VA hospital and saw many patients get toes, feet & legs amputated because of diabetes! Helps keep me motivated! Doctor Jason Fung was on point in this interview!
Been on 24hr fast for a month and a half, so far dropped 18lbs. I eat only lunch, and I try and keep that well under 2000 calories, green tea in the morning with Benefiber, water with lemon the rest of the time. First two weeks was tough, but now I’m only hungry at lunch.
