[@horatiutuca8320]

Hello Dr Fung: thank you so much for your videos! One thing I'd like to suggest for you to lobby on: if the number of calories are not as important as the hormones they trigger, maybe we should have a Glycemic (or Insulin) Impact number as part of every product's Nutrition Facts table (which right now shows only counts of calories, fats, carbs, and proteins).

Doing OMAD, Keto and 2 hours a week cardio. Lost 40 pounds (18 kg) in 4 months. I thought I plateaued but on average are still losing 1 pound a week (Garmin scale really works). Almost reached the goal BMI of 25. Then I'll probably go to 16/8. I never go back to the high carb/sugar foods. Thanks to Fung I now really understand what was going on. Never knew that. Everybody said I just needed more exercise and eat more regularly. Now I'm fasting everybody thinks I'm mad and that it is dangerous to eat once a day. Strange, because when I ordered fast food in the past, nobody said anything. But that was the real danger! I now feel good and energetic the whole day.

Yep. People think, OMG, I'll be too Hungry ALL the time! BUT the Awesome truth is that NOPE, you will hardly notice any true hunger pangs at all! I do intermittent fasting which is at least 20 hours per day. I am hardly ever truly hunger until my eating window. And for me, eating quality protein along with healthy fats and veggies works the Best! The protein and fats, along with the fiber, keeps a rock- steady blood glucose. No feeling of crashing or dragging thru the day feeling fatigued! (I would happily do extended fasting but I have medication that I need to take daily that requires a bit of food to be absorbed properly.) Anyways, I've done OMAD and Intermittent Fasting for over 2 years now and it's the Easiest thing in the world! And when you eat whole nutritious foods your body starts Healing and becoming Strong and Healthy!!😉😎

Many thanks Dr Fung. Within 37 days lost 10KG! Feeling more energetic and not tired all the time. Here's my regime. MON to SAT 20 hour Intermittent Fasting (IF). Start fast after lunch 1300 hrs and have breakfast the next day 0900 hrs. Been eating my regular food. Breakfast is fruit juice (apple, beetroot, orange, celery) with a cup of tea with full cream milk powder. Lunch is typical Asian i.e. stir fried vegetables, rice, fish/ meat. After SAT lunch i.e. 1300 hrs continue fasting for the whole of SUN and break fast on MON 0900 hrs. This is a 44 hour fast. Will carry and monitor. Now at optimal BMI and perhaps shorten the fasting hours to say 18 or 16 hours to arrest the weight loss. Normal routine includes exercise 20,000 steps a day. Note that IF is the only change to my routine, so can definitively say this is the one that made a huge difference :-)

I have never heard this explained so perfectly! When we eat we’re eating a set of instructions 👍🏻

[@boondoggle4820]

The insulin model of adiposity was definitely applicable to me because I lost a lot more weight since I started keto and intermittent fasting than I did when I was counting calories on a standard diet, and the weight has stayed off which I never did before. I’m not saying that this will be true for everyone because it probably depends on a lot of particular details, but it was certainly true for me, and thank goodness that people like Dr. Fung are out there because this information allows people to salvage their quality of life while the CICO crowd is out there arguing to show that they know what’s absolutely right for everyone.

[@DLTJR1959]

I would think that in most folk that are eating highly refined carbs weight loss would occur. I think the biggest thing is that fats/protein satisfy your hunger better and as a result you are not as hungry and you eat less thus less calories are reduced. Restricting carbs has always worked for me in losing weight. Great reply.

[@Patriot1790]

@@DLTJR1959 Carbohydrates really are not the problem overall. Asians for example have white rice with every meal. However, they consume a lot of protein and fats. The problem is people consume too many carbs on their own. Bagels, sweets, soda, etc. I would never just eat a bowl of pasta for example without some source of protein. I would never wat rice on its own either.

Thanks Dr.Jason. I am following his videos since the beginning of this year and learned a lot. I managed my carbs, protein and and fat intake ratio and as a result, I am a normal person now. I don’t feel sick nor hopeless. My clinic doctor told me that I am a pre diabetic and an obese person weighing 201 lbs and 5.8 Hba1c. Following Dr.Jason for the past 9 months, I lost 47 lbs and came to an Hba1c of 5.2. In my past 9 month diet journey, I reduced carbs to 20% and said goodbye to bread and rice.

These videos and your books have been useful in pointing me in the right direction in my attempts to change what I eat and to also incorporate intermittent fasting as a tool to lose and maintain my weight.

You are utterly incredible! I am so thankful to you for your videos and just sharing this knowledge with us. I think that if more people started to view weight loss as more complex than the widely used and simplified concept of “calories in vs calories out” then more people would have success. It’s truly life changing just to learn about weight and fat loss in terms of how our bodies actually process those foods, calories, etc and that it has more to do with insulin than anything else we’re doing!! Thank you for enlightening me! I just started my fitness/weight loss journey with the goal being to do a body recomposition (loose fat and tone up muscle). I did a comprehensive body scan and found out that I have very high amounts of lean body mass and lean muscle mass, and that my overall fat percentage was optimal. But conversely, the basic BMI chart tells me I’m almost obese. So I’ve gone on this whole time wondering why I don’t look as heavy as others with my same height and weight…and thinking I needed to lose a lot more fat than I even have on my body!! Do you face any recommendations for women with high levels of lean/muscle mass and relatively high level of fat mass who wants to tone up and lose fat? I wondering if the calorie deficit I’ve been told to use is way too restricting and therefore causing my body to just burn less calories.

It’s really about their ego and their arrogance, not actually helping people.

[@nt8180]

Yep, I agree. Counting calories really didn’t work much for me. Fasting has been much more successful and actually easier for me.

I give him tons of credit for giving me the intellectual ammunition to fast and go low carb when it was tough. Lost more than 30 lbs.

The expression on Dr's face is " why don't you guys get ketosis already,but I am not going to give up"😁

[@jpridie]

Thank you for another great video and now I’m modifying my eating habits to comply with your lectures. I’ve been on keto for two and half years and it’s keeping my weight off now I’ve got to get my blood sugar out of the 6s and into the 5s. I’ll be trying your advice. I’m 83 and been T2D for 25years and on drugs now I’m off all drugs.

[@tomkoz513]

Jason, You're on the right track. As overweight people, when we eat things like cheeseburgers and pizza, the hormones responsible for weight gain spike above normal. A naturally thin persons hormones don't. When we eat things like fruits and vegetables, or even just meat, those hormones don't spike above normal. However when we combine meat and plants, or eat a facsimile of that combination in the form of processed foods, those hormones do spike above normal and they suppress the production of the satiety hormones. This clears the way for the person to overeat. By the way, this is how all addictions work, which is what causes obesity in the first place. It has little to do with hunger or a lack of energy. It's almost all about satisfying the person's addiction to food. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

[@LTPottenger]

Yes, it's very physical addiction, not psychological at all. And you can get over it by fasting or slowly reducing the bad foods.
