Have you did a video about ppl with hypothyroidism and fasting ❓

[@Joy-fx4ee]

Sir, unrelated to your video but is there a difference between chewing your food from just making it into a drinkable one. Let’s say blueberries, I mix it with kefir or yoghurt blend it then drink. I’m wondering if saliva has anything to do with it. I’m not a health expert, just a normal person who lost weight thanks to your fasting videos.

Jason I know you’re busy a reply would be awesome in my situation. I’m 30 m. I went doctor I had bloods done fasting level 9.2 and hba1c was 5.5 So doctor ordered a gtt test 5.1 fasting at 1 hr 6.2 at 2 hrs 5.2 He recommended to come back in 3 months and test again I’m not sure if this is diabetes or not. I brought a test kick finger prick and following my sugar levels. Last 3 days 5.3 5.5 . 5.8 I’ve changed my diet lost 7 kg and stopped alcohol consumption also. 7 weeks no drink.

Smh but I'm strong and I'm not going to be diabetic with you and God on my side I know I can beat this and get off all meds, Are you here to help me yes or no ?? Lol

[@rhiahlMT]

All I hear in my diabetes group is you should eat 4 - 6 small meals and eat to keep your blood sugar level. Which of course keeps insulin active in the body. I managed to reverse mine in three months completely doing one meal a day. It's crazy what these doctors, dietitians and quite frankly the American Diabetes Association is telling Type 2 diabetics.

[@willtube61]

The 6 small meals philosophy was what I was told back in the 80’s. It’s what was believed to be best. The great thing about fasting, especially one meal a day, is that it basically doesn’t matter what you eat for that meal. You don’t have to worry about what you can and can’t have. Give yourself a time limit, usually 1 to 2 hours, to eat what you want then shut off the intake until 22 or so hours later. This is literally life changing.

Sounds to me like what really happened was you hadn't listened to your medical specialists, then lost weight while fasting, reducing your adipose tissue and thus insulin resistance. Nicola Guess and Nutrition Made Simple are better than Fung. I don't listen to anybody else their information isn't good enough.

@@rraval6963 I'm currently in the same boat, more or less. I'm currently on 2 1/2 days without eating (I was ill over the weekend & not hungry), and whilst the scale says I lost 5kgs, my blood sugars are still around 7.5-8 (mmol/l, the UK measure). The key to permanently lower blood sugar is weight loss: I've previously done "The Newcastle Diet" - 8 weeks of severely calorie restricted eating, after which I was about 10kg lighter, and - for a while - was technically back to being pre-diabetic. However, unfortunately I let the good work go to waste (waist?) and put the lbs back on, and here we are. Going to try IF properly now, probably OMAD with maybe a 36-48hr fast every few days, depending on how my self control goes...

Slowly from 12 hours to 20 hours increase 1-2 hours a week. After 4 months yesterday my A1C results is only 5.8. The results is awesome 👍. Surprised the doctor. Doctor just ask me to do the A1C test again 4 months later on May 2024 to make sure it's not rebound. To all those in doubt, my advice is why don't just give yourself a chance to try it out. If it doesn't work, you always can go back to what other doctor told you. (Trust me intermittent fasting 100% work as long it's type 2 diabetes )😊

I love Dr. Fung and how straightforward he is!

[@dallasryan1485]

I listened to Dr. Fung's books "The Obesity Code" and "The Diabetic Code" several times when commuting to and from work about 5 years ago and implemented his recommendations into my life. I was 195 pounds six years ago. I'm retired now and will be 70 years old in three months, and currently weigh around 165 pounds, fifteen pounds over my weight of 150 when I was 18 years old. I swim daily now for an hour and walk and hike frequently. I occasionally do a 48 or 72 hour fast, but now, my primary fasting routine is to skip breakfast, except for coffee and water and try to limit myself to just one nutritious midday meal of whole, natural home cooked meals. I am not always successful and occasional will fall off the wagon and eat something during the early evening, but I hold to the routine more often than not. I've eliminated almost all added sugar by avoiding processed food from the grocery store as much as possible, and absolutely avoid all the fast food hamburger and ice cream based fast food establishments you see alone the road everywhere. Sugar is so insidious, but it is true that you will learn to live without it the longer you stick to not eating it. I don't want to sound like a fanatic, but you really do have to go "cold turkey" with the sugar. The reality is that after a month or more of total avoidance of sucrose, a taste of the stuff in a soft drink, or other concentrated sucrose delivery system will actually be slightly nauseous. When you get to this point, it is a cakewalk to continue to eschew it. I do not eat snacks, but I do sip on black coffee or coffee with a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream throughout the day, in addition to a tall glass of water every couple of hours. Now, I was never diagnosed with diabetes, or severe obesity for that matter, but I was severely overweight. Trying to jog or eat less was not resulting in any success as I got older, and this is why I made these changes. I do feel very good physically now, and am glad I started this lifestyle before I became severely obese.

[@planetina5616]

IF and eliminating sugar seems to fix all kinds of blood sugar issues even if you're not diabetic. I had reactive hypoglycemia for 6 years which I was told meant I need to eat high GI carbs (i.e. sugar) every few hours... Hah! After 2 weeks of keto OMAD, all my symptoms disappeared and my blood sugar is stable. I've lost 15lbs in 5 weeks and never felt so good. Now to undo 6 years of weight gain caused by that TERRIBLE advice

My a1c went from 14 to 7.

[@d2d2d28]

I don’t know why my doctor still says I have diabetes when I got mine down low like that as well. She repeats the mantra that once a diabetic always a diabetic. I don’t consider myself a diabetic anymore but I’m now known by all my doctors as diabetic- biggest regret I have is not losing weight and fasting before I crossed that line.

[@g1cast-ReginaToday]

Also because of Dr Fung I started with intermittent fasting.. as a result it kept me away from junk food during the fast. Then I eliminated sugar and carbs in addition to intermittent fasting. fasting got easier. finally I went meat based and it made fasting very easy.. I'm doing one full meal in a day or OMAD. And sometimes I do 3day fasting I don't schedule when to fast or when to break the fast. I use a stop watch to check how many hours since I had a meal. A stopwatch is very useful for me because when the cravings hit, the stopwatch tells me it is just a fake hunger. I also use a ketone breath meter it shows whether I'm fat burning or not.

Yep. It's that easy. I'm an RN and I tell ALL my type 2 DM patients to do this (who in turn follow up with me). It works. I'm not diabetic but I've lost 40 lbs this year doing 2MAD.

[@jessicamarquez702]

What is 2mad?

[@keithzastrow]

@jessicamarquez702 2 meals a day. I do 18:6 which means I fast for 18 hrs and then eat my 2 meals a day within a 6 hr feeding window. NO SNACKS.

[@youtubelibrary_10]

Thank you Dr. Jason for being one of the very few doctors who are teaching patients how to reverse their diabetes. I've heard that KZbin and their cronies are censoring your content, but thank you for staying strong and doing your job. Doctors are supposed to help patients become healthy and you are doing that by providing non-pharma options that actually work. I fast regularly and it has strengthened my immune system.

This is amazing.

[@drawanythingyoulike162]

Thank you Dr. Fung! Thank you! I had a new year's (2023) resolution to become type 2 diabetes free completely. I was inspired by your videos and started watching since December 2022. After doing fasting (16 hrs fasting a day, 8 hrs eating window) for 5 months, I did my blood work and went to my family doctor for consultation on results. My doctor was so surprised to see that I was completely out of diabetes. I lost 7 kg. She did not prescribe any more medicine. I used to take 3 tablets everyday. Currently I am doing 14 hrs of fasting and maintaining my body weight. So, thanks again! You have changed my life! BTW, I am a 52 yrs of old (he/him).

I have type 2 diabetes and intermediate fasting brought my A1C from 11 down to 6.0 to 6.3 consistently for over a year and my glucose from 250 down to the 120 to 130 range consistently for over a year. I have also lost 62 lb

[@queenangelina5612]

I feel my higher power led me to your channel yesterday. I am 37 years old. I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in which my doctor told me absolutely NOTHING to actually better my condition and i was absolutely terrified!! I've been continuously sick and on antibiotics for the past 6 months straight and lost over 30 lb in the process yet my sugar was continuing to rise. I am not obese. I have never been obese. I did not consider myself to have a terrible diet until actually learning and realizing what the things they put in our food does to us I am a single mother with two young children. I honestly thought I was dying. I was so sick and could not get over it and was watching my body right in front of my eyes. Deteriorate with no medical professionals offering anything to cure the problem just treat all symptoms. I just want to thank you and may our higher power and universe watch over you and bless you for having the courage to speak out and speak up and help people live. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I couldn't thank you enough. I feel as if I have hope for the first time in a long time and that feels truly amazing. I will begin my fasting journey today and will update my results. Thank you so much. You are a true blessing

New subscriber! I’m an analogy guy, I like how you explain things! New diabetic, 9 months, A1C 13.4 down to 6.7 IF 14 hrs, average Rapid Insulin use 15-20 units a day, I’ve dropped 10 lbs, Didn’t have a lot of extra lbs to drop. Listening to you it seems I’m doing what I should be doing. Any chance you will be coming to the NW (Seattle) anytime soon?

[@rebeccapatterson649]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I’ve lost 15-20 lbs, and hopefully my A1C is better as I work to fast 14 hours a day. Managed to give up sugar in my coffee, too, so that helps, especially when I was drinking it around the clock.
