Thank you for another live, Dr. Fung.
Dr Fung, have you ever covered fasting and peri menopause?
YES!!! I am a 64 year old American woman living here in Yokohama, Japan ( near Tokyo) & we do say ” hara hachi bu— eat until one’s only 80% full. I used to think that Japanese portions were so small! Now, after being here for 40 years, I’m used to eating smaller portions
I live in Tokyo 😊it’s good to see someone in Japan also interested in fasting
Just into my first 24hrs. Don’t know how long I can go. Everyone is going out to dinner and of course I was invited. Then Jason shows up in my feed for the first time since??? I listened to him mention his four day effort and it renewed my strength and resolve. Burn baby burn!
Don’t give up guy, willpower needs exercise as much as muscles. Something to consider, take a teaspoon of salt when you’re getting hungry, it serves two purposes: 1) it will help suppress appetite, and 2) it will help replenish crucial electrolytes (which our bodies naturally shed during fasts). I get the course pink sea salt, let’s me chew on it for a few minutes. It’s a little odd at first, but give it a shot. Check “no lab coat required” for some science-based views of salts & electrolytes. Salt has been demonized for decades, but it should not have been.
@NoThanks-vn7bt thanks. I used to do Gatorade for that but the sugar was a killer
Thank you for all your hard work and research! I so appreciate all you do and have done❤
I cannot thank you enough Dr. Fung. I was able to improve my health through applying what I learned from you, Dr. Jamnadas and Dr. Bikman about fasting, insulin and the myriad effects of insulin in the body.
I can now wear large sized garterized pants (Asian size) from upper 3xl size since March 2024 after 11 months of doing intermittent fasting. My weight loss is slow but I am happy with the results. I now feel far better and in a lot better place than how and where I was where my health is concerned a year ago.
I am 58 years old and I do 18 hours of fasting most days. Sometimes I do 20 hours, OMAD and 3 day water fast every 4 months. I also reduced my carbs, specifically rice intake. I’ve since given up eating rice based delicacies; flour products like cookies, noodles and all other flour products (I eat bread rarely); root crop based delicacies (I eat root crops rarely); fruits except avocado; and, sweets like chocolate.
So far I have lost 60 pounds. I’ve got another. 50 or so to go. Fasting has worked beautifully. It’s really been the most beneficial thing I have done. I really appreciate your books. I look forward to the update to The Obesity Code. I don’t have diabetes, but I have recommended your diabetes book to people. I know that do have it. Thank you for all you do
I really appreciate you making a point to make your clinic and educational materials accessible to more people.
Thank you for everything Dr Fung! Lost 95 lbs in 2024 and it all started with you. Much Gratitude 🙏
So sorry for the nasty experience you had with Doctor Mike. His argumentativeness and negativity was embarrassing to watch…. and you did a great job with him.
Thank you Dr fung-you have helped so many people-❤ after listening to you I finally knew how to lose weight and no longer was a victim to the eat less move more information that has been out here for years. All the best to you!!🌸
We appreciate you Dr. Fung! ❤
Last month, I completed my second 108-hour fast (five nights, four days). This time, I did a strict water-only fast—no green tea or coffee. I found days 3 and 4 particularly challenging, but I noticed significant health benefits afterward, feeling both healthier and biologically younger.
Nice work. If not too personal, was it for fat and/or weight loss, or the other benefits (autophagy/mind/overall feeling)
Dear Dr. Fung. You are an absolutely genius MD and an amazing scientist. What you meant for the field is truly groundbreaking. The educational mission you are on tilts it to yet another level. Thank you for everything you do!!
Hi Dr. I am thrilled to see you live. I read your books a few years ago. I didn’t really understand how to fast. Fast forward to this September, I finally decided to take it seriously and I am down 59lbs as of this morning. My starting weight was 288. Thank you!
Awesome! Be kind to yourself always. I can almost feel the energy reading your comment.
Yesss! Here is my mantra: “Food is fuel, not fun.” I have been using this since high school. Now that I fast, this mantra has become extremely useful for me.
Hi Dr. Fung! I have been maintaining my 160lb weight loss well after finding your books, lectures and interviews four years ago. I live a fasting lifestyle and have been eating a ketovore diet. I’m 61 now and I’ve been reading a lot about the carnivore diet so starting March 1st. I’m going to try it for a month 😲. Thanks for all you do! I’m loving my fasting lifestyle 🥰
Thank you Dr. I have achieved so much with my weight loss thanks to you. I’m still on my journey and I have geared a lot of my family members to get on board with the fasting. It has been a life changer for me and hopefully my daughter will get it also . 😊
love your content !! i have been doing OMAD for 2 years now, down 100 lbs ! thank you you are my fasting guru !!
Following Dr Mindi Pelz ideas for fasting during periods its really helpful
I learn so much from you Dr Fung! Love my fasting lifestyle, I do OMAD and I look forward to that feeling of hunger, burn baby burn!
