Jason fung 🫡🙏👍❤ from India
Thank you so much for all that you do to educate us around the world with your knowledge, expertise and experience. You are the best role model doctor and saving so many lives around the world! Thank you so much!🙏
In 2021 experts finally said that diabetes could be reversed because they knew people were aware that it was a big lie that it could not be reverse.😏
Thank you Dr Fung!! 😊🎉❤🙏
Not only does fasting for 24h reduce your insulin to 40% of your starting value, but fat instead of carbs in your meals greatly reduces insulin spikes so the fewer meals you have and the less carbs in each meal the more quickly you can get your blood sugar down. However when you fast 36-96h not only does it not slow metabolism and not lose muscle but this will cause liver fat to be the first fat lost because when fasting it is the liver that creates blood glucose and it uses fat to do so. This is also why unhealthy people get such a strong dawn effect this is your liver shooting glucose out into the body due to excess liver fat.
Not entirely correct. The liver does not primarily use its own stored fat for gluconeogenesis. The liver’s fat stores are mainly used for energy production or as precursors for ketone body synthesis during fasting or ketosis. Glycerol from adipose tissue lipolysis is a significant contributor to gluconeogenesis in the liver.
Liver fat is what produce’s the triglycerides in serum. Check Lustig and liver glycogen is used for glucose as energy and yes liver uses it up hence dawn effect amplifies for diabetics. Your visceral fat is the ketone producer
❤ HELLO DR FUNG..YOUR GREAT LOVE YOUR INFORMATION. PLEASE CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU DO…NEWYORK HERE ❤
Thank you Jason🙏
mr fung please keep up the good work. Thank you ❤
will be checking out the diabetes code from my local library. ur diabetes and fasting info and advice is very helpful. thanks dr. fung for sharing it.♥
Thank you Dr. Fung! January 2024 I read your ‘The Diabetes Code.’ I was a 265 lbs. 72 year old type 2 diabetic diagnosed 5 years before. Come February I was off of insulin and eventually metformin. Now August I am now at 204 lbs. and my goal of 190 is well within sight. All due to OMAD and your marvelous advice. Life is good!
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing your story!
That’s great!👋🏼
The only huge change was that I no longer eat sugar and fructose. And that was a gamechanger to me and my prediabetic stage.
I have lost 32lb and reversed my diabetes. I couldn’t have done it without the knowledge you shared. Your name was given to me by my medical consultant, it was the best thing he did for me. I wish I could actually thank you in person because you and my consultant saved my life.
I reversed my Type 2 on the carnivore diet in less than four months. During that time I did a two week water fast and at the end of month five I’m halfway through a second two week water fast. Primary reason for the fasts were weight loss. I started out at 360lbs and am now down to 299lbs. I eliminated two diabetes medications and two blood pressure medications from my life. I’d give it a try if all else has failed.
I just want to say thanks for your information over the years. I’m pretty sure it helped me tremendously. I’m still following your current advice and have been for over two years. I’ve lost 48kg, I have a ketosis meter, which helps tremendously. I’m xxy 6 foot 6. And live in NZ. I’ve been recommending your name through out NZ, concerning your solid work and achievements, and my achievements. Thank you for publishing your studies.
Started IF two months ago for weight, pre diabetes, and lymphedema. My next appointment is sept. We shall see how well numbers improved. Have already lost 6lbs. 😊😊😊
I am suspect of this approach because it is essentially calorie reduction which has been shown to lower metabolic rate, increase hunger and the probability of over eating/re-feeding syndrome.
Dr Fung ,can you please do a video of the difference between time restricted eating and extended fasting plus the reasons for choosing either.
When people hear” do not eat “ means different things to different people.
Tell people why it is a lie that diabetes is irreversible.
You are too modest! You invented fasting ,take credit for it ! You have saved lives all over the world and deserve the Nobel Prize together with Lustig.
4 years A1C under 6.0 . DX in 90’s as pre diabetic. Was told to follow ADA diabetes guidelines. A joke. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your books are a treasure.
I have been following the fasting lifestyle for over 2 years now, I eat lower carbs and sugar. You know how people meal prep for dinners? I dessert prep! I always have some low sugarno sugar options stocked in my freezer (cookies and muffins mostly-they’re easy and you can make a lot of them at a time!) I fast about 19-22 hours every day and have lost 60 LBS and kept it off! Not only that, I am no longer PRE-DIABETIC, my plantar fasciitis went away, I not longer have acid reflux and my joints don’t hurt anymore! Fasting is LIFE. 😀
The times I have achieved to fast, I have felt amazing, more stable emotionally. However I am suffering from an anxiety disorder (binge-eating), and my mind feels in danger every time I attempt to go back to fasting (not to binge, just to stop the fast). I would love to have the insight of someone on my situation, I truly believe part of my healing process will be intermitent fasting.
