A Conversation with Megan Ramos | Jason Fung

[@FUMoney33]

Down over 70 lbs intermittent fasting eating one meal a day. Also occasionally doing a 48 hour fast. Blood panel better than any time in my life, sleep great, feel great. Also gave up alcohol in 2019 which has been life changing.

Fasting is the first thing I have found that is truly helped me lose weight. I’m down 50 pounds so far. Got another 50 to go. But I am encouraged. I finally found something that works for me.

[@outsidethebox8406]

How do you go about fasting? Is it intermittent fasting?

I started fasting in 2022 to lose weight, build some muscles and strength as I exercised resistance training but I later learnt other benefits of prolonged fasting, nutrition and exercise and it has now become my lifestyle thanks to this great Doctor.

[@shekatagani]

Two years ago my doctor said " You are pre diabebetic and you have high Cholesterol, so I want to put you on Statin Medication" So I said NO Way! I was 246Lbs. I started on a low carb diet, One meal a day and I walked every day , I did some weight lefting two or three times a week, So I am 70 and I am retired, I lost over 50Lbs. Lowered my blood presssure, Have a better body and feel much better. I only take a low dose blood Pressure Med. and still eat one or two meals a day, and fell like I will live for another 20 or 30 years!

35 years! keep it up. Godspeed 🎉

Try magnesium glycinate, D3 (5k ui), vitamin K2 mk7 and lot of green veggies. Ask your doctor if you can have a test for sleep apnea. If you get the treament for sleep apnea. You will give up ALL MED with omad.

Thanks again, Jason. For me, you are motivational.. Keep moving forward. !

[@JohnsonNestorFamily]

Soooo thankful I found your videos, lectures and books. Four years ago I was almost 300lbs and a metabolic mess. I lost 160 lbs by eating LCHF keto and fasting. I'm 61 now, active, off ALL my medications and loving my fasting lifestyle to maintain. Thanks for all you do 😃👍🙏

[@ricka0917]

Good for you. I really don’t need to lose weight. I was looking for some of the other benefits. What did you notice if you don’t mind me asking?

@ricka0917 OMG so many! My skin cleared up, I think more clearly, I sleep great, I have so much energy, I don't eat any sugar so my teeth are clean and no bad breath, I'm confident, I love to shop for clothes now, I'm happy, I'm thankful, I want to tell everyone I meet about fasting! 😃👍.

I am more angry than I can express about having been lied to, defrauded, and abused by so many people that I don't know how to overcome my trust issues.

Fasting is the truth you can trust! It's not new. People have been fasting throughout the centuries. It still works. That's what was so reassuring for me.

Fasting and carnivore together is awesome

[@shieh.4743]

Love the message, but the ended up leaving the facebook page they had years ago when I was banned for 24 hours for the apparently offensice comment of "I understand this is a fasting page, but I thought the person's question was reasonable and the moderator response was harsh". Someone had asked for a suggestion for something to pack for her husband's lunch when he breaks his fast. The moderator jumped in and very nastily scolded her for asking about food as that was "inappropriate" and "will not be tolerated". It is so frustrating that they were so unkind to a community that needs good support.

[@giancassini8390]

quit the facebook page too. Horrible moderators that do more to harm fungs message than help, Sorry its still horrible!

[@NicolasRao]

I started following you doctor Fung in 2014. I am happy to say that I have reversed my diabetes by just following your advice. I came down from 115Kg on diabetic medication and also suffered the side effects of Metmirphin. Anyway, Just intermittent fasting, careful diet and walks in the evening which I love. I quit medication in 2016 and now at 74 years of age, I maintain a HBA1C of around 5-5.1 My weight is 77Kg which is right for my height of 5' 11".

[@patriciaspanier2669]

Mindset is everything I agree with

[@CarisaRae]

I fast 16 to 18 daily but MINDFULLY eating us important too. Eat until full NOT STUFFED. STOP EATING WHEN NO LONGER HUNGRY.

[@joanmurphy2166]

Thank you both.

I started with you guys when it was still IDM! It used to be free! LOL! Benefitted so much for you all! God bless your work and Merry Christmas from the Philippines!

[@shishirkumarsharan4]

I have lost over 50 lbs. ,over past two years. I followed 18X6 hrs IF and LCHF diet

[@patriciaspanier2669]

It is hard in the beginning overcoming the mindset of always eating

[@CRt-d3h]

Probably the most basic, simple and tremendously effective health tool available. Coming from a really bad health condition, IF was a life saver. Added carnivore took it all to another level. 🙂

[@Sheenasalesthriftytreasures]

Great video thank you 🙏🏼

[@dougster6948]

Dr Fung. Started intermittent fasting since Aug 2024. Lost 25 lbs, blood sugar getting to normal ranges, A1C & Triglycerides in Normal range from 7.4. I am type 2 diabetic, fatty liver, obese, had a heart attack at age 36, now at age 57.Down to 199lbs from 225. I am 5' 5" Still having an issue with high blood pressure, can't get it below 140/85. On blood pressure medication, Ozempic.50mg. Any idea?

[@Daisy_Dobby]

There is a doctor here on youtube who says that fasting actually makes people insulin resistent. She showed a trial where several groups of people had to go trough a glucose test and the group who fasted had a much higher blood sugar than the other 3 groups. Now I'm very cofused. Hope you can answer my question Dr. Fung

[@JohnsonNestorFamily]

Signed up! 👍😃

[@elizabethdavis3417]

I need to lose 40 lbs, but im so discouraged by a hectic stressful life ... Im really down and struggling in so many ways

[@candaceram]

It's easier to do busy, stressful things while fasting .

[@freedomfighter4990]

@elizabethdavis3417 - Then this is the video for you! Cut out the carbs. Go Keto or if you have the nerve, go Carnivore, the BBB & E intro phase. All you eat are Beef (any kind), Bacon, Butter as your cooking oil & Eggs. It's easy-peasy because there's nothing to think about in terms of meals. If you normally eat 3 meals a day, start off doing that. Eat until you are satiated at every mean, don't worry about how many burgers or slices of bacon you had, or how many calories you consumed. Just eat until you're full, then don't eat again until you are actually hungry, meaning your tummy is growling. After a couple of weeks, you'll notice that you aren't hungry when you wake up in the morning. And after breakfast, you don't get hungry again until close to dinnertime. These are the normal changes your metabolism undergoes when you stop feeding your body sugar (carbs), which have basically no nutritional value & only eat protein & fat, which are highly nutritious. You'll notice other positive changes in your body too. Intermittent Fasting is nothing more than limiting your food consumption to specific hours & fasting the rest of the time. I went mostly Carnivore (85%) in 2017 & have been using IF off & on for a year or so. Dr. Fung has a beginners guide video for Intermittent Fasting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKK9pIZmaMmfhs0&ab_channel=JasonFung Check out his library, he has videos that will address all your questions.

Fasting is so easy and seems to “add” hours to my day.

[@patriciaspanier2669]

You need the fasting method to fix your mindset

[@HuongTran-iy3je]

I follow Dr Fung and only fasting works for me to lose weight. Some doctors still don’t believe it is good. Why?

[@jacklineadong8324]

Because you will be healthy and they will loose their jobs. No other reason if you really want your patients to healthy

[@tonymai1844]

They knew it is good. However if they admit it is good then you left them behind. They will miss you very much. 😅

🎉 Jason and Megan 🎉 they will never say it out of love but food is a drug and we are addicts. Until people start seeing food as an addiction our brothers and sisters will be addicts for life and die wondering why.

How many hours of fasting is okay for 86 year old

[@juliedrake4672]

I am 68 and eat 2 meals/day. I do not eat breakfast. I do not eat after dinner. This amounts to around 16 hrs of fasting most days. Have lost 40# without issues. Labs looking good.

I will be 84 next month. I usually have a 2 to 3 hour window that I eat in every day. I have no health problems and no arthritis.

[@dr.samierasadoonalhassani2669]

The benefits of calories restriction is so amazing. I am reading the book cancer is a metabolic disease in origin prevention and management all about how to control blood sugar by restricting calories and time restriction. Brain energy and mental health also metabolic by dr Chris Palmer. Cancer book by professor Thomas Syfried . It is not only losing weight it is nutritional ketosis like our ancestors we evolved from.

It's free during the time you're not eating anything. Normally, you'll eat 2 meals a day then fast the rest of the time (appx. 12-18 hrs).

Except when the message was reduce fat, eat more carbohydrates and eat all day. People were so able to do that because of the addictive nature of carbohydrates. Too bad that did not work/end well for most people.

[@robyroby1902]

I spontaneously do I.F. and it's easy especially now that I am on vacation and decided to do a week on keto. I have an important question to which nobody better than you can answer so please do it 🙏 I'm eating around 30 gr on net carbs, around 120 gr of proteins and more or less the same grams of fats. I'm 52 kg and I have noticed that I go pee so often... Last night I woke up 6 or 7 times to pee and I am afraid it's due to the excess of proteins and the hard job my kidneys have been doing the last few days. Is it dangerous? I feel great in ketosis (I didn't test it but I believe I am with 30 gr of carbs a day) but I am worried for my kidneys.... However, next week I will be back on my low carb usual diet. P.S. I don't have to loose weight so I eat according to my hunger and this is why I have so much protein Thanks

Dear Doctor Jason Fung, Thank you very much. You are my free online advisor regarding fasting. I follwed your all videos, very attentively. I am from Sri Lanka. Some Buddhist monks here do 18:6 fasting as a lifestyle. The Buddha advised so for Buddhist monks more than 25000 years ago. I practise intermittent fasting (18:6) as a lifestyle. I started it 19 months ago. I practised (23:1) throughout 30 day period. My BMI is 19.04 now. I am 58+. Now I do 18:6, six days per week and 23:1 fasting one day per week. No issues. Am I safe?

[@claudiopeixoto28]

There are the myths in the bible and Sumeria of people living hundreds of years. Before the advent of agriculture. Very likely a carnivore diet. My theory is that those myths were true. I think They were always fasting and getting the benefits of autophagy. That's a theory.
