Dr Fung I tried fasting and although I lost weight I also had diarrhea really bad what can I do too not have it

[@desrieeandreone585]

Hi Dr. Fung, I had a gastric sleeve that I found out has a different shape as I had a hernia where they would normally attach it 9 years ago. Within a year the hunger was back . I eat a really good meal and within two hours in the morning I am starving and shaky, feeling like I am going to faint and nauseous. I am on duromine but do not take it everyday as I try very hard to manage my weight loss with fasting at dinner time. I have plateaued and I am walking. I have lost 13 kg. I was 90 kg and am now 77 kg.. I am 148 cm tall and 55 years old. Two questions. 1 I have 45 g albran flakes with overall 14g carbs. I have skim milk on this. No sugars at all. Is this an acceptable breakfast? 2 I do not mind the hunger. I fear the nausea, headache and bad shakes, especially at work. I am a teacher. Do you know what I can do about this? I know you are very busy so l will not be offended if you do not answer. I would be very grateful if you can. Thank you.

Tell them to fill up more on non-starchy vegetables! They are only 100 calories a pound. U will never get fat eating a vegetable, with no butter, oil or cheese of course!

[@RapIndulgent]

Summary: What you eat: 1. Avoid artificial sweeteners 2. Diet - switch up what you’re eating When you don’t eat: 3. Cleaner fast (water only, herbal tea, i.e. avoid products that may stimulate insulin response) 4. Duration of Fast (this can mean extending fasting periods, or if used to longer fasts already, doing more shorter fasts instead; can always switch back to usual style once plateau is busted) Lower / Manage your Stress: 5. Sleep Hygiene (inventory and fix sleep habits and try to get more + consistent sleep) 6. Meditation (relaxing is an active process, and meditation is good one, Jason favors transcendental meditation ) 7. Exercise (not for weight loss directly but for lowering stress; Jason favors high intensity but most all forms can be beneficial, especially if you enjoy it)

[@peggy5003]

I really appreciated the summary. Thank you so much.

[@jgrysiak6566]

3. Avoid oil, it is 4000 calories a pound 4. Avoid nuts, seeds & peanut butter, it's 3000 calories a pound

[@oysteinsoreide4323]

Long duration, high intensity exercise is probably not the best. Especially if you are on keto. Long duration must be aerobic exercise, low intensity. Or if you do high intensity, then it should only last for a short duration. This is to avoid losing muscle mass in the process.

This is true--but it doesn't mean that you have to accept plateauing for months at a time. If I hit a plateau for more than a week, I typically up my fasting protocol.

[@camkib]

I’ve lost about 21 pounds since reading Dr. Fung’s books and practicing fasting. I haven’t had a plateau yet, but as a registered nurse I’m here simply to read the doctor’s handwriting. Dr. Fung, you MUST teach other doctors about the benefits of fasting AND writing legibly!

The only problem is, there is no profit to be made from fasting. The medical doctors gets paid lots of money to push pharmaceuticals. Dr Fung even admits to doing that himself 15 years ago, but no longer accepts money bribes from big pharma.

Extended fasting tends to make me anxious, but 15-18 hours does the trick for me. I have been doing this for 17 months, and just changing the time frame on occasion. I lost all the weight (60#) in the first 9 months and keeping it off is my goal at this point. I have a diet ginger ale and 2 coffees w/no sweetener every day. Other doctors claim it is a break for your brain and unless you are a sweet addict, it can’t hurt you, and may even help you get over the hump. Who knows? You have to find out what works for you. And then do it...

True. Once you hit that plateau, you’ll resort to longer fasts. Last week i think I’ve done 72 hours fast and i lost 2kgs on that fast. So I’ve decided to do 48h fast once a week for 3 weeks then do one 72 hr fast on the 4th week. I just don’t know if it’s safe to do

[@Onlyfruitsofspirit]

When I hit a plateau I did a 24 hour fast, then a bone broth vegetable soup, then another 12 hours. I called it my Superman fast because it got me to goal weight. I also found exercising in the fasted state, so taking a nice long walk during that first 24 hour fast, usually in the morning, was great. Sometimes I would do 2 long walks, 1 in the morning and 1 at lunch. I only fasted on days I didn’t work because I found not being stressed helped even more. When I hit my goal weight I prayed so hard that Jason would help others and that people would go back to fasting as part of their lifestyle.

I got on keto and lost weight easily for a few months, then I stalled. So I went keto + OMAD, started losing again then stalled again. Then I tried ketovore + OMAD + 1 or 2 48hr water fasts a month. I started losing again, and stalled again! For over 6 months! Out of desperation I started tracking everything I ate and drank. Weighed and measured everything for 2 weeks. I didn't calculate calories or anything else but carbs (as I always did) because I didn't want to be influenced by anything as I gathered the data. After 2 weeks I calculated calories, macros, etc and I was astonished! My % macros were good but I was eating less than 800 cal a day on my eating days! And since I hadn't really changed what and how much I ate since starting ketovore, that's what I had been eating for well over a year! Probably closer to 3 years since I didn't really increase anything when I switched from keto to ketovore either, I just cut out 90% of the vegetables. I had absolutely wrecked my metabolism!!! 😭 That was 2 months ago. Still ketovore but now with a 2hr feeding window, and increasing my daily calories little by little. I started losing weight again as soon as I reliably ate 1200cal a day. I'm now at around 1300 and still losing. Moral of my story, if you hit a long plateau, re-evaluate what you are doing and change things up one thing at a time. And make sure you are eating enough!

[@anthonygross1963]

One thing that helped me was to stop doing the 16/8 intermittent fasting every day and go to every other day (basically 12/12). Also, I would alternate days when I would exercise without eating breakfast first and exercise other days after about an hour of eating light breakfast.

Dr. Fung, you’re an excellent speaker! We love listening to your lectures! 😊

[@gabrieleparavano3734]

I'd like to thank you for your advise. As a former Endurance athlete I was told to never skip breakfast, and eventhough I stopped competeing I've continuued doing a big breakfast, that caused a little overweight. Now I've tried the 16/8 FASTING and both my energy levels and mental focus during the day have skyrocket !! Thanks again !!

Dr. Jason saved and changed my live. I am diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 3 years ago with average 7.8 - 8.5 mmo/l average. Less than 3 months i had lost 9 kg from 84kg t0 75kg and my glocuse level had dropped to average 5.67 mmol average ( 5.2% ) HbA1c result. Thank you Dr. Jason Fung!!

These are awesome tips Dr. Fung! All of them are laid out in a way that's super simple to understand. Thanks a ton!

Doc, I just saw another video where you did an interview so searched you and subscribed. Yay! As a pre-diabetic, I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for a while now and felt like I hit a plateau but didn’t know until I saw this video. Now I know what I have to do so many thanks. I have shared your video with my mom and sister who are both diabetics. Hoping they begin to follow the intermittent fasting too. It was difficult at first but feels soo good after a few days.

[@lindalind514]

This video has made my day. Thank you 😊 Doctor Fung. Please keep more videos like these coming

[@dandamerville]

I love the reframing Chuck suggests, "Make hunger your friend." I have been successful in IF by addressing the feeling of hunger as, "Yes, thank you -- you are exactly what GETTING HEALTHIER feels like." Maybe a combination of Chuck's reframe and mine might be to think of hunger as your personal and dear getting healthier friend. We all like to hang out with our friends, so maybe something like, "Ah, good to 'see' you again , my dear GETTING HEALTHIER friend!"

[@shapienails3067]

You're an Amazing Dr, you not only write helpful weight loss books, but you also make a YT channel & try to explain how to go about losing weight. So many Dr's are all about the money, pushing pills or just repeating the "old" calories in calories out attitude.

[@rebeccakhalil]

I'm so grateful for randomly coming across Dr Fung's videos, literally binge watched his entire playlist. Where have you been all my life ? lol

[@elizabethkoenig5185]

Last year my husband picked up a copy of Dr. Fung's "The Obesity Code" at one of the local little free libraries while dropping off some books. Best thing I have ever read on weight loss and health! Doing mostly alternate day fasting I have lost over 85 lbs. Update: after 10 months, down 100 lbs.

[@theotherway1639]

The book "30 Days to Stop Overeating" by Harper Daniels takes an interesting mindfulness approach. Weight loss can be very psychological, tied to stress etc.

[@cecilitaH]

The excuse of a carb addict 🤣

[@shipoffulls]

I always will Binge eat if eating unprocessed carbs, when I cut them out my binge eating nearly completely resolved. Even if I feel like eating emotionally , I’ll eat cheese or something and a small amount doesn’t lead to full on binge.

[@elizabethkoenig5185]

[@enajfrayre0422]

I’m doing 4:3 now after falling from the wagon for a long time. I did gain some of my weights back but I guess the knowledge of IF kept me from gaining it all back. I think modified 4:3 is working well for me now. And I’m back to fasting! Feels great!

[@terrys.1242]

I'm still doing intermittent fasting, but I switched it up to a more vegan diet with the inclusion of more raw foods, and the the benefits have been wonderful. I'm so thankful for Jason Fung's great advice and instruction.

I'm "Chuck" from the video. We need to remember that as we lose weight it takes less energy to move, live, and breathe so scaling back on portion sizes is necessary when you reach a plateau.

[@kathleenreyes4345]

Thank you Dr. Fung! Valuable info!! One thing I learned from this to understand why my weight won’t budge is I need to meditate!! And, I don’t change things up like I should!

Thank you for the awesome knowledge for free Dr. Fung. You are making a huge difference in people's lives. Every Sunday I am very much looking forward to your video's

[@fazdoll]

Other strategies: 3-4 days of fat only ("Fat fast"). Or, alternate days of fat fasting with protein fasting. There are videos on KZbin about this, but be careful because they're rather drastic.

[@CristinaAcosta]

Thank you Dr Fung for sharing your knowledge freely. You’ve changed my life for the better. Grateful

I agree. There is not much money in telling a patient to go home and fast so there has to be genuine compassion for others.

[@carolegyptienne]

Chuck’s tip is very useful and that is not only works for food. Longing for anything, any sense of lack is going to always be there. So learn to accept and work with it. Wonderful! Thanks chuck, thanks dr Fung

[@sanautin]

One of the ways of dealing with stress which works best for me is......fasting. While fasting I don't have to pay any attention to what am I going to eat, when am I going to eat, shopping for food, preparing the food, cleaning up afterwards. I have more time to deal with whatever is causing the stress because I know my health and physical well being is in check for the time being.

[@elizabethkoenig5185]

Agreed. I cook for my husband most days, though, so I've had to learn to fast while still planning and preparing food. (My husband said he was OK with just getting takeout all the time, but I didn't want to disrupt his schedule too much--and I am concerned about maintining his health, as well [his weight is close to ideal]). But I did appreciate the offer from him. Now I'm pretty good with this not affecting my own fasting.

[@raenettwilliams5897]

AWESOME information Dr. Fung! Thank You....now I gotta get my rest!

[@CarbageMan]

Stress is my big problem right now. Sleep does seem to help, especially if I do an extended fast and make sure to get a lot of sleep at the same time.

[@veronicaharwick9013]

Another remedy to relieve stress, besides the ones mentioned, is deep breathing for a few minutes before going to bed. ☺

[@CarbageMan]

@@veronicaharwick9013 So true! I've actually used it quite a bit myself, for relief from degenerative disc disease.

[@veronicaharwick9013]

@@CarbageMan Chronic pain is the worst stressor of all. 😔 When I would have bouts of backpain from scoliosis & not be able to sleep I would put 1/4 tsp. of Inositol powder (Now Foods) in a glass of water or juice at bedtime. You'll have to research it yourself but it somehow assists B vitamins to help calm down the nervous system. It has helped me & a few others. ☺ Take care.

[@CarbageMan]

@@veronicaharwick9013 Yeah, I think it was a big contributor in making me fat. :-( I found out I was magnesium deficient (before I went keto) and keeping that in order helps. It turns out magnesium glycinate can be optimal in that regard, though all help. I have also been taking aswagandha and stinging nettle root extract. I'll have to try the inositol. I take benfotiamine, which seems to have beat the diabetic neuropathy over several months.

[@veronicaharwick9013]

@@CarbageMan It's a vicious circle... extreme pain makes you more sedentary... weight increases... more weight on discs causes more pain... lack of moving tightens muscles, etc. I too am deficient in magnesium (😎) & Vitamin D. I wish you the best my friend. ☺

[@sm1tty031]

This was/ is me. Ive just broken a month long plateau with a 36 hour fast. Been doing Keto but probably eating too much during my eating window. That stops right now...Im down to 216 from 240

[@fastedaesthetics]

Just so you know, the hunger does go away when you get used to fasting daily, I have been fasting daily for over 11 years now, mainly to keep my body composition these days.

[@pat4005]

I think that depends upon what you eat when you are not fasting. Also, Some food types and/or your carb/protien/fat ratio has a lot to do with it also.
