*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
Like sure do yourself out of a job right? Lucky for us like almost none wants to do it. They will do almost anything else swallow any pill get bariatric surgery but diet? Even if their joints hurt all the time its like the veryverylast thing they will do. They wait for the word inoperable and the first heart pains.
seachangeau I wish the information about this way of eating had been in the mainstream 35 years ago, along with all the individuals that are now getting the word out. I would have done it in a heartbeat because my experience of it and the results I’m seeing are astounding. I am thankful for the internet and any doctor that is truly intent on getting us healthy instead of slapping a bandaid on a symptom that will only cause a need for anther bandaid versus getting to the root cause.
@@gejost : It may not be new but it certainly is more understandable. Dr. Fung makes so much sense and explains it in a way that anyone can comprehend what happens in Type 2 Diabetes. He's an excellent teacher and he debunks the "chronic disease" theory. He has given me hope that if I treat this with food rather than drugs I won't suffer the terrible consequences of T2D. Thank you, Dr. Fung!
@@MHow-qc3ns Absolutely correct, most research, if not all, is profit driven research, and pharmaceuticals would only fund the research if it can generate a return on investment. Lets just say cabbage can cure cancer, the research will always be inconclusive because no one will fund the research and any research that comes about will be discredited by the mainstream medical community(heavily influenced by Pharma) because there is no money to be made. At the end of the day, its just a business, maybe our health and lives to us, but to them, we are just consumers, there to maximize profits. Look what Purdue done with Oxycotin.
well he has my recognition. the thing is, I have been on keto for 2 years and had very good results but have yet to convince anyone else to do it. Very tired of watching my friends suffering and dying from sugar and carb addiction.
I'm guessing the American Diabetes society hates him. Did you ever notice it's not Anti-Diabetes...or Anti-Cancer associations. No, they're just making huge salaries while NOT coming up with much of anything. I knew in my gut diabetes was reversible the minute they told me it wasn't.
I am long term type 2 and have tried the intermittent fasting 16/8, 20/4, and 23/1) concept and I watched my blood sugar rise over 200 mg/dl in 24 hours; moreover, what I did not realize is that even though I was not eating and my body glucose levels were rising, is that blood sugars were rising from my fatty liver releasing stored glucose. I also did not realize that high triglyceride levels were merely transports of the stored glucose and fat in my liver to my organs and sub dermal tissue which is why even though I hike 3 -5 miles 3 or 4 days per week, I never could lose weight. I watched this video and had an epiphany, all I need to do is maintain IF long enough and not worry about rising blood sugar levels in the short term and my organs will eliminate my stored sugars... eventually! You rock Dr. Jason Fung. It is quite humbling to learn something so obvious all the while eating low carbohydrate high fat lifestyle (i.e. no starch) since January 2017. I eat my 7 - 10 cups raw veggies 5 days of the week and my blood sugars dropped from an average 250 mg/dl to an average 170 mg/dl, but rarely did I see anything under 150 mg/dl, especially when fasting... now I understand what the dawn phenomenon is and the underlying cause of rising blood glucose even when not eating and after exercising... my body is dumping stored sugar from my liver... Wow, I feel so ignorant that I did not realize this until tonight... Once again, thank you Dr. Jason Fung... going back to LCHF and IF as of tonight. For the record, I have been medicine free (e.g. including insulin) since January 2017.
Mammatus Pother congrats my friend. Your self explanation of the facts helped me understand better the whole paradigm. I am going into this same journey today. No more carbs for me. But how about fruits? I love fruits and living them behind hurts. 🤔😢☹️
Don't blame yourself, blame the doctors who were ignorant or who wanted to profit from your illness or who didn't care enough. Good luck and don't give up.
Koralblue, When it comes to fruit, for myself, I try to limit sweet fruit to berries (black, blue, raspberry, strawberry, gooseberry (kiwi)), and when it comes to non sweet fruit, I eat avocado, eggplant, bell pepper, lemon, and lime). I also try to limit net carbohydrate intake to
Mammatus Pother Thank you do much for that recommendation. I eat a lot of fruits but I am going to try to limit myself and focus on the healing berries more. Since I gave a lot of inflammation To my joints and muscles I have been eating pineapples. Thank you and wish the best in your endeavour to get healthy again.
1) Stop eating ALL the time. 2) by doing #1 you will decrease insulin production 3) Less insulin means less storage 4) Less storage means smaller suit case
As a Nurse practitioner, I work for a physician that has been saying this and treating insulin resistance this way for at least 20 years now. None of this is new. But most physicians don't know that and I don't know why.
Dr. Fung explains it here in this hour-long presentation. Basically, it comes down to what doctors are taught in medical school. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7nJgHBbEgsE.html
@@garlajen47 Most medicine follows the American lead. American medicine is controlled by big pharma. Big phara wants to keep you on meds. There is a reason American med school costs so much, doctors are stuck.
If you still have that thing call fatty liver, just start doing 3 days dry fast, continued by a rehydration with apple cider vinegar + baking soda Just go into RU-vid and search for “Snake Diet “ You are welcome my friend, stop going with doctors
@@joshuegv-4492 Sounds more like "snake oil" diet. You know, BS. And what happens when you mix bicarb and vinegar? Bubbling reaction making CO2. You need to get yourself some Basic Chemistry so you can be a better critical thinker.
Do some intermittent fasting. Dr. Jason Fung has a book on fasting and is leading the field in this subject. My doctor told me i have a fatty liver but not to worry I am below there numbers the are looking for to be dangerous. I'm glad I done my own research and discovered Dr. Jason Fung. My energy levels are getting better. Good luck.
So true. Let's remember to always say a prayer for him and his family especially when we are on the IF. Truly he could have kept his findings to benefit himself by charging people to see him but because he cares for people over money he's done it. I pray for you sir and the many other doctors who are willing to help in this capacity.
Dr. Fung, I am 82 years old, type2 diabetes for 22 years, 226lbs and on 300units of insulin per day. Without wishing to suggest that I have controlled my diet perfectly, I have followed the prescribed regime pretty well on a daily basis and my experience has followed pretty accurately how you describe it. Both my weight and insulin intake have risen steadily of late to my great concern. Having watched a couple of your videos I was persuaded by your logic and decided to try to fast. For a week I have used the 16/8 fast and additionally I have stopped eating with my morning, afternoon and evening coffee breaks and stopped eating desert with my main meal. After 1 week my insulin dosage is down to 100 units per day and falling, my blood glucose reading has been fairly steady for 3 days at 60mmol/L and I have lost 3lbs in weight. Not only that, but I am confident that I can maintain this regime in the future. I have related eye problems and my sight has been deteriorating for a number of years. My question is, if I maintain what I am doing, will my eye problem regress. I do not expect it to do so but I hope it will not deteriorate as fast. I must express my appreciation to you for explaining the true problems I have been experiencing.
You posted 4 years ago. Do hope you are doing well and that your maladies have reversed. #carnivoreCure #DrKenBerry #metabolicHealthSummut #DrDalebrenesen #DrDonaldLayman
Dave, please don't neglect to build muscle through strength training + higher intensity cardio. Muscles are body armor- the organs of longevity! Every time you contract the fibers, they produce myokines & BDNF -- miracle grow for your brain! (And heal your gut microbiome when you're not fasting)
I also realize how long ago you posted. I would like to know how you are doing and and truly hope you are well. Dr Fung changed my life several years ago.
Before the availability of diabetes drugs, diabetes was treated with a low carb diet. That is when I was a kid...in the 60's. I hate to be cynical but sometimes I think there are economic reasons to keep us sick...like to sell more drugs.
I think a big economic reason is 'Who is going to make money on promoting all the reeducation of society as a whole?' No one. it's just going to cost money. How long can we ignore how sick we are? As long as possible.
Unfortunately, you are exactly right. The economic interest is the sole reason for the diabetes epidemic. Thank goodness we have people like Dr Fung to help the world wake up to this madness. The medical, pharmaceutical, and food industries have been encouraging the public to poison themselves for the past 50 years. Shameful.
We've had the cure to cancer, HIV, the common cold and flu, and so on, all along. It's called prolonged fasting. But doctors tell you prolonged fasting is bad and that you need to eat multiple meals a day. Why? They want your immune system weak and for you to get and stay sick so they can keep their job.
Yup, people save money on both food and drugs when they eat less and eat less frequently. Food and drugs are both billion dollar industries. So it’s no mistake this info isn’t spread widely.
Dear Dr.Jason Fung, Your zealous ministry to heal the sick is clearly evident from your presentation which was from your heart. Thank you for your commitment and unselfish attitude that among the many I am also one that benefited from your mission. I am 68 years old, have reversed my type 2 diabetes, normalized my blood pressure, lost 20 kg weight all in 6 months and am now full of energy and free from all medications. What you propounded is clear logic and one need not be a rocket scientist to understand it. Please keep up your good works, may God bless you and your family.
Mind blown, as a physician I humbled to know that T2D is curable. I try to explain that my patients. Some patients understand but many only want a quick fix, only because they are addicted to sugar. But I'll keep on promoting intermittent fasting and low carb/low processed sugar diet.
maybe you could, as a requirement to see you, have new patients for free, spend 30 minutes listen to Dr. fung, hold classes once or twice a month, and have a Q&A to fit all your new patients and invite already established patients if they want to really get better. :)
Fasting IS the quick fix and most patients are absolutely willing to give it a try. There is too many doctors willing to believe that patients are lazy and unwilling to help themselves. Some are, but most work hard to stay off of medications and to not be sick. How do I know? Because weight watchers is an enormously (pun intended) successful enterprise. People starve themselves and track their food and give themselves points. They cram themselves into gyms and make resolutions to lose weight. They DO try. The problem has been the advice has made them more sick and enjoy life less. Give them a healthy, easy to do option like eat whole foods and intermittently fast. People WILL do that.
That’s the problem there all addicted to sugar And they choose to ignore it they lie about how much sugar they actually consume and think that medication is the answer so they can continue sadly they’re very wrong this is especially true when talking young people young.
I've just spent 3 days in hospital, I was telling the nurses and Drs that Diabetes is totally reversible and that I had reversed mine! and they all laughed at me Like I was some kind of fool! so the nurses and Drs need to be educated just as much as the Diabetics....
Steve McGovern your experience terrifies me-docs, nurses, hospital staff everywhere are frighteningly uneducated about Diabetes. ( I’ve seen patients with diabetes on hospital “ diabetic diet” being served FRUIT COCKTAIL.) We need to clone Dr Fung and his brilliant approach to diabetes and the whole metabolic syndrome. I’m also T2D and totally controlled with diet and fasting. NO MEDS!
I wish I could give myself cancer or HIV, and get myself tested and have tons of proof that I have it, then cure it with prolonged fasting so I can show everyone those are a joke to cure.
Dr. Fung, I am sharing your video. I have lost 25 pounds on the ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting. I feel so wonderful, mentally and physically and emotionally. I wish everybody would watch this video and understand we have been sold a bill of goods by the food and pharmacy industry, so that some people can make money. We could be healthy and reverse the diabetes, heart disease, & other diseases before they go too far. As a nurse, I wish this would be taught in nursing schools.
Please, from 1 healthcare worker to another, urge patients to build muscle to be metabolically healthy. Skinniness/weight loss is not necessarily healthy. Strong muscles are the organ of longevity. Please read the research article on how Myokines treat & help reverse TWENTY SIX CHRONIC DISEASES via strength training. Help our people heal their microbiomes! 👍🙂
At a yearly health check my blood sugar level was at 6.8. My doctor wants to put me on medication. Luckily after Dr. Jason Fung talk I did IF and after a week my blood sugar has dropped to 5.5 and has been consistent for 4 months already. Thanks Dr Fung
Thank you! Excellent video, very well-explained. Shared with my family. I am disabled and exercise was never going to get me where I want to be. I started eating a ketogenic diet with daily IF ( 16/8 - 18/6 2 meals a day) since March 14/17 and have already dropped 22 lbs. I am not diagnosed diabetic but I suspect I am insulin resistant and was headed down the path to T2D. I now realize I am going to be the "guinea pig" for going LCHF/keto for my family. Once they see with their own eyes that a disabled person can successfully get healthy and lose weight effortlessly, they won't have any excuses! Love your videos!
@presjo, "whole grains" are modified (selectively bred, genetically modified) grasses. Arboreal apes, gorillas, and prehistoric bipedal apes never ate grass. The body (of modern humans) doesn't understand grains as a basis of the food supply (mostly derived from grains). It's fine as some sort of minor or incidental consumption component. But that is not what has been happening, certainly since we entered the industrial age.
we didn't eat them all the time. There were famine times and feast times. We didn't have the time to pick out all the beans and have bean soup for weeks. We didn't have time to pick out individual rice grains to have rice dishes for more than 1 nice meal. Fruits were only in season. Not every week or every day. You just got lucky and found a strawberry patch. Sure we dried a bit of fruits and veggie but not on the scale that we consume them now. We didn't have industrial farming or even a half acre farm. We hunted and gathered. That means wild foraging not sauntering out the cave to pick out a nice tomato.
Sat with a co worker on our Lunch Break & I watched him consume almost 40 teaspoons of Sugar in one meal ! Then he popped his Metformin,... I asked him if his Doctor talked to him about Diet & he said "no". Unbelievable !
U did not reverse it ,remission is a better term,continue your lifestyle,its doing you good however the moment you do your old ways like your hi carb hi sugar diet your diabetes will return,so the moral of the story,just continue what you're doing now do it for life.
My gosh, this video was posted in 2017…..and in 2021 there are countless persons who still believe the lie that type 2 diabetes is irreversible. I’m sharing all these videos because knowledge IS power.
Thank you, Dr Jason Fung. You saved my life. I was diagnosed type 2 diabetes and I had to go to the emergency room with 500 mg sugar level just 2 months ago I have been doing Keto diet and IF after binge watching your RU-vid videos. I used to drink 5 sodas and 2 energy drinks a day ! Now my sugar level is around 100mg and lost 20 lbs. within 2 months. Thank you.
First doctor I've come across who even acknowledges what I've seen in the environment, much less offer a logical cause and effect scenario that very much describes what I've witnessed first hand AND then offers effective treatments without medication!
Thank you Low Carb Down Under for hosting Dr. Fung. To me he's a brilliant and compassionate "Renaissance Man". I've lost 40 lbs. since I had my first introduction to him online about a year ago. I still have about 25 lbs. to go before I'm in the weight range for my height. Thank you Dr. Fung for getting me on the right path!
Jason Fung is my hero. No joke. When I first read "Jason Fung Nobel Prize..." I thought it was a joke... but now I don't anymore. He is saving milions of lives
Excellent! Thank you Dr. Fung. i'm a doer of your intermittent fasting along with low to no carb. I've lost 30 lbs and my A1C level went from 8. to 5.9 in three months. My Dr.is thrilled.
When my husband told his dr he wanted to do IF and vegan diet first, we were sent a letter saying he was being dropped for "non-compliance" (he wanted to put hubby and insulin)
I have shared this on my FB page because i am so grateful to finally find an answer - been on insulin since 2002, and lost all faith in medical system - getting sicker every year. Thank you so much Jason Fung , have watched many of your videos . . .YAY!!
Jade Campbell, I am type 2 and was on insulin for 2 years maybe 2 1/2 years (I have been fighting type 2 for since 1994 and won occasionally only for the disease to come back), but my point is that I started low carb high fat lifestyle in January 2017 and stopped all medications (i.e. blood pressure and insulin) and while I did not understand why my blood sugars would rise when I attempted to fast, albeit short and long term fasting, or slept, or exercised, I realized tonight, it was only my body dumping stored sugar... I wish you all the luck in the world on your journey to a better medicine and healthier life.
kidokacio I've been a type two for twelve years now. I just heard about IF. I've been trying for the past three days. I'm still trying to regulate eating after the fast. It's difficult especially since I'm at work for the 12/8 period. I have difficulty in constantly measuring blood sugar levels. I intend to measure the levels during the weekends when I'm at home most of the time.
On intermittent fasting, I have lost 6 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. I eat well, not hungry. I have NEVER lost this kind of weight with calorie restriction and exercise. Amazing. IT WORKS!
Fabulous! As a nurse, I see the battle with diabetes/obesity. Patients need more education and to be willing to make life style changes. Who does the education? There is no time to spend with inpatients. This was an excellent presentation.
I would like to start a non profit where people would volunteer to go to doctor's offices and stand outside with education sheets and free copies of the diabetes code.
@@CelineNoyce & give free basic exercise classes to teach people how to use their bodyweight & their kitchen sink or bed to get metabolically healthy, also improving gut microbiome!
Brilliant, eloquent physician, that is saving lives and putting the pill pushers out. His explanation is brilliant, easy to understand. God bless this man for teaching us what others have failed to do.
Endless thanks to u dr jason fung i wish meet u and give milion of roses... Ur books shall be teached in schools and all clinics .. I have readed ur books many times and each time i read i get benfit even i repeated it !!!
Thank you Dr. Fung for explaining this information to me. Medical school failed to instruct me and my fellow medical students the basics as to how to really save lives.God bless you for the work you do.
A million thanks to Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Eric Berg, and Dr. Ken Berry. Following the advice of these 3 doctors, I'm happy to say that my fatty liver has been reversed. I did IF with LCHF but not necessarily keto for almost a year now.
Thanks! Itvis my 5th week of IF. I have stopped eating junk food/processed food. I eat whole food, fresh, organic. I cook everything from scratch. I love my fruits and veggies, avocado, olive oil, coconut oil and butter. I reduced my rice intake to 1/4 cup a day. I am losing 2lbs a week. From 189 I am down to 176 now. Medical test results shows wvwrything is normal. I am happy with my lifestyle change.
Videos like this from Dr. Fung compelled me to research more and more into this subject. With 3 months of 16/8 -20/4 intermittent fasting, exercise 3-4X per week, and less between 50-150g of carbs per day, I'm back to a healthy weight, and have maintained it for well over a month. Thank you Dr. Fung and others. I credit you with giving me years worth of quality life! Had I not been inspired by IF and low carb, who knows where I would be 5 years from now.
Dear Dr. Jason Fung, you are a real medical doctor. Thank you very much for sharing this important information about causes of type II diabetes and how to reverse it. I will follow your instructions.
Thanks for posting, I've read Dr Fung's books and am IF with one meal every 24 hours and water or black coffee between. I've lost 2 stone (28lbs) my blood pressure is down and bloods are improving. I still have to take my meds but Thank you Dr Fung for opening my eyes to Fasting, it's not so difficult and I do hope eventually I will regain my health enough to come off the meds.
Dr Jason Fung is opening the medical world to the reality of curing type 2 diabetes. Lets hope the medical world starts to listen and educate the present doctors and the student doctors how to help these patients.
I thank the Lord that I came across this video and subsequent videos by Dr Fung tonight. I watched them all. It all makes sense and I realized that the medical profession just wasn't aware or they were profiting from the drug companies. Well, as of tonight I will begin intermittent fasting the right way. What I didn't understand was that cutting the calories wasn't my biggest problem, but when I was eating. I exercise five (5) days a week yet wasn't seeing any results. Now I understand why! Thank you Dr Fung!
We need a paradigm shift in the entire medical industry. I had the hardest time understanding the concept of treating type 1 and type 2 diabetes with the same treatment during nursing school. I remember asking my instructor why we don't have the patients utilize the extra insulin circulating in the body with exercise and low carb diet. Her reply was that patients won't make lifestyle changes. Seeing my patients suffer from diabetes is incredibly sad. Amputation after amputation. Kidney failure. Dialysis. Infections. Sepsis. And the list goes on and on and on. Why do we treat the symptoms instead of the cause??? Don't you think the cure would be in the CAUSE??? A symptom is your body's way of telling you that something is not right. Why do we just medicate the symptom and ignore the root problem??? All docs wanna do is prescribe meds for a symptom meanwhile the patient has all kinds of side effects. So, pt gets more meds prescribed for the side effects. I've seen enough during my time as a nurse to believe most chronic diseases are diet based. From the toxic gmo's to the lack of vital minerals and nutrients needed to keep our own body's immune system healthy and functioning properly. Doctors come out of medical school with only the knowledge of how to treat patient with pharmaceutical drugs. No knowledge of nutrition. It's so sad.
And doctors that have been doctors for many years know that most patients will not make lifestyle changes, its a fact. Ask 10 doctors if they gave 10 of their patients the option of free cure with cutting carbs or medications and no lifestyle change, what would more choose and stick with. I bet only 1 of them would change lifestyle and stick to it. Ever seen a cancer patient smoke through the hole in their neck? yep
Ricky Bowman - What a terrible attitude. Perhaps the patient should be given the knowledge & then they can choose to cure themselves or keep killing themselves slowly. Perhaps doctors should be made to recite their Hippocratic oath before seeing every patient? Don’t lie to them to keep them on drugs and make the doctors money, just because you think “they won’t change anyway”! That’s just hateful! Doctors that don’t tell people that it is *completely* possible to cure their underlying problem should feel ashamed and bear the burden of guilt and blame for every one of their patients that die from type 2 diabetes!
I listen to lots of podcasts on the Subject. This is the best yet! Jason Fung is always so clear he communicates so well. Thank you. I have gone from 17 down to the 5s in 6 months, off meds for over 4 months. Yipee!
It’s absolutely amazing to me thats the solution to all these problems can seriously be summarized as, stop eating, your body will fix itself. Dr. Fung is king.
RU-vid autoplayed this for me even though I have already seen it and recommended it. Still great and so well presented that I am reviewing it. Jason Fung is among the pantheon of Doctors I trust.
What a great analogy, the garbage in the kitchen! I post videos about my weight loss post bariatric surgery & have been following Dr Fung for years, but am only now trying intermittent fasting & with great success! It truly is a game changer.👍🏻
He is really one of the most forward-looking physicians of today's time. I wish every physician would sit and watch his videos and offer help and support to patients trying to follow this absolutely sensible and credible advice
Excellent and informative talk, Dr. Fung. I took your advice last year, followed and low carb moderate protein high fat diet, and intermittently fasted. My overall health was improving. When I told my Toronto cardiologist, his body language seemed to suggest that he did not approve of this approach. He then told me I no longer needed to make any follow up appointments with him. To me, this seemed ambiguous. It has gotten to the point where I am afraid of telling my family doctor what I am doing for fear that he might not want to treat me any longer. I have purchased both of your books: The Obesity Code and the Complete Guide To Fasting and constantly refer to your blog Intensive Dietary Management. I deeply appreciate and applaud your efforts to combat Diabesity, but as a regular patient, I find the political aspects of medical care in Ontario very scary. I live in fear of having to be hospitalized and be fed all that high carb hospital food that is part of their Diabetic Meal Plan. Don't give up the fight. It is worth it.
My guess if I try to explain this to my doctor, her eyes are going to roll and I will hear some type of rebuttal. i went looking for answers and found the Ketogenic diet.. lost 30 bls.... no insulin or metformin and my blood sugar stabilized. So, why are doctors still treating this with more insulin? I bet the drug companies are making a fortune. Great video BTW... loved it and I can't wait to share it!
Let's face it.. most Americans are not even going to consider intermittent fasting. They just aren't. They'd rather continue to eat whatever they want in the quantities they want. They are the ones who will have to continue to take insulin.
I am very happy I found Dr J. Fung MD over a year ago. I am becoming more healthy every day and I have just started a Carnivore diet and continue to become more clear in the brain and feel the body continue to heal. Thank You!
Your idea make sense. I am off carb for 1 week. My blood suger has dropped. I use to take 80 units of insulin which has dropped to 30 or less now. I am on dialysis I hope to recover from it.
Fantastic.. i've been type 1 for 37 years. Been doing IF and Keto. As a type 1 the Beta cells are gone, but going No sugar low carb has mad a massive difference to my health.. Wish I was type 2. Then it would be reversed by now.. The truth is out there if you want it. That was a big dose of truth...
hey.just wonder how is going with u after 1 year are u still god?are u off med now?am trying to go off med too but just started 6 week ago and my use off insulin is mutch down.Morten
How do you know for sure beta cells completely gon?? When I 1st went to Endo was diagnosed type2 for 4 years, Endo smelled my KETO's is all & right then showed me the shots & I was insulated before I walked out his office. The next time I saw him I asked, he said I had about 13% of my beta cells left in Pancreas how do they know this.?????They have me on 5units insulin 2xa day & 3units before each meal, but I'm IF almost every day 18-20 hrs. Still have high glucose (Dawn Phenomen) Frustrating.
I wish I had known this 20 years ago. Still I now know and I've been taking corrective action and have been for almost 4 months and doing a whole lot better. Every Doctor needs to see this!!!!!
Wow, Dr. Fung. Bless you. A paradigm shift is required indeed. Every patient should first be asked if they want their type 2 diabetes (or pre-diabetic condition or obesity) treated or cured. If they choose cured then a focus on implementing the dietary change of intermittent fasting is the ONLY course of action promoted by the doctor. This is the only ethical option.
Going without eating for a couple days once in a while sounds a lot easier than trying to carefully manage every meal I eat day after day year after year and hoping I ate exactly the right things to not get diabetes.
