He's an amazing communicator! Some of the many benefits of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: The hunger hormone ghrelin lowers over time with extended fasting and rise from dieting Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. It's absolutely fine for cortisol to be high while fasting, because it produces sugar from fat instead of lean tissue kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZqodZSar9R4qNU Does the body prefernetially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, it never uses mainly glucose for fuel and using glucose for fuel is very biochemically damaging! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJeUm6qDl9uBrtk The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Is fasting just the same as caloric restriction? No! Dieting increases the hunger hormone ghrelin while fasting decreases it and has many other health benefits! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYfPXqGfoc2KgsU When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. It stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Does fasting burn muscle? In most cases no! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpa0epSLa9yjaNE Fasting can make you gain muscle faster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OwaXqIr9h8f8k Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJamkJp_h5eNZ5Y Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. What breaks a fast? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZK1faZ5pd2sadE Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it and builds muscle! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHu4daiZd7ypatU Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

[@holmes12001]

+Eugénie O'Mey (The Voice) I agree....he was the first person I found after I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic a little over a year ago....I was eating the way the doctor told me...and checking my BG...and just kept thinking...this cant be right...this cant be the best way to do this.......then I started researching and found Dr. Fung...I started strickly controlling my carb intake and started fasting....and now...all is good in the hood......smile..

[@moonmissy]

Regular IF, low carb, meditation and regular exercise is the way to go. I got rid of all my diabetes meds and feel great. I looked younger than myself 10 years ago. The medical community need to listen to this man and help their patients instead of killing them slowly with meds.

[@teflo2]

That's how they make money!

[@czechraiser]

I agree. Had a hemmorhagic stroke and basically did the above and eliminated sugar and processed foods and have not been sick, sleep far better, lost my lifelong allergies, no longer snore, no more joint aches and lost my mood swings. Tell that to a doctor and they'll tell you you're wrong and try to prescribe drugs. Big profit for pharma and themselves is the goal, not your health, period.

He is Asian and therefore will likely look younger than a typical Westerner of the same age.

You're my hero, Dr. Fung! You are saving so many lives every day, including mine! Thank you for fighting the good fight!

[@AyeWitness]

He a good doc but he ain’t fighting the good fight. That’s a quote from the Holy Bible, in regards to Faith /faithful / - however Jason believes in the Big Bang that we the earth and every living creature tree bush herb flowers fish birds all derived and or evolved from single cell lol. That’s a bigger fairytale than anything I’ve ever read in holy Bible. Even a cardboard box has a designer. So why wouldn’t you.

[@ivanalovemore1686]

Because if we all got well by diet, they wouldnt make MONEY OFF US!!!!!!!....sickening AND scary. Thank you Dr. Fung for being there for US.

[@Mhel2023]

..I like how Dr. Fung conducts the lecture while wearing his stethoscope....like he just saw some patients....then stopped in to drop some knowledge...like a boss 😂

[@robinbeers6689]

He did just see some patients and he's going to see some more after. This is a lecture series for his colleagues during the day.

[@venkatachalamthiagarajan2404]

👍 I too was thinking why he is having the stethoscope!

[@eddyabby]

Good to know who is getting paid off by the corporations at the same time publishing articles in the medical journals selling drugs, shakes and meal replacements along with surgery. The heart association and diabetes association sponsors are questionable to say the least and the information they are providing is totally skewed and biased. keep going Jason ... this is the best educational video on the web to date.

[@Amblin80s]

Yeah, it's pretty sickening how much doctors are paid despite having very little knowledge except for drug prescription. The stereotype of the uncaring doctor who doesn't listen is based in reality. It's doctors like Dr. Fung who actually use their brain and critical thinking skills to do further research into the truth, as well as who exactly is paying off the unethical doctors (99% of doctors, tbh) to slowly kill their patients while blaming their patients for it. McDonald's, beer companies, Coca Cola, they all pay "doctors" to push their products... And there's this toxic mentality of ignorant people who say, "You know nothing, and your doctor knows everything because they did 8 years of medical school + residency," not realizing that it's the pharmaceutical companies who fund the schools and continue to bribe prominent doctors, fund studies deliberately skewed in their favor, etc. The same cohort of people who can't be bothered to examine what they're saying to see whether or not it's really the truth. I am so thankful to Dr. Fung for reviving this very ancient practice of "fasting and nutritious food" and really marrying it with the science that explains the processes as we understand them.

[@pastabatman]

This entire video is incredible--brilliant, but 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 18 are pure gold. Thank you.

[@Neur0bit]

Fascinating! Dr Fung is such a great presenter. Never before I had understood these concepts as I do now thanks to him, and also Dr Berg. A+++

[@XevLexa]

Dr Berg,’s presentation is good too but he’s not at the same level as Dr Fung…Dr Fung is a kidney specialist , a nephrologist…

[@OfficialBeeswax]

Berg is frankly a quack. Chiropractors aren't even allowed to use the predicate 'Dr' in many countries (like most European countries), and rightfully so. They aren't doctors any more than your average witch doctor. Dr. Fung however, knows his stuff, and is great at what he does.

[@XevLexa]

@@OfficialBeeswax I totally agree wth you…he’s a Chiropractor, not a medical doctor…Dr Fung is the real deal…

[@cuervacho]

As always, amazing. I enjoyed a lot the last part of this session peculiarly because it highlights the economic-political factors that not only contribute to our flailing health but to the prostitution of scientific knowledge in the interest of corporate capital. It really makes you question if the health of the citizens has ever been the primary concern of these dietary guidelines or just the interest of sugar producing/dependent companies. Thank you so much Dr. Fung for making all this info available. Cheers from Mexico City!

[@barbarahawkins7864]

Thanks so much, Dr. Fung... I’m a 20+ year nurse who is learning so much... and feeling more healthy by the month!

[@bisisotonwa1458]

Thank you Dr Jason Fung I now know why I can not loose weight no matter how hard I tried. I am now following your advise and I am making great progress. You are my hero

[@mach2262]

Dr Fung, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been battling insulin resistance for so, so many years. I have been on so many insulins and such high dosages...long lasting 160 u divided in morning and night and rapid 15-20 u 4 times a day and gaining weight like crazy. Have been fighting with one Endocrinologist or another for at least 10 years. In Australia of 2018 I had several seizures and in trauma unit at a hospital and my blood sugars were 31 on all the insulin and metformin I was on. The hospital did not have the long lasting insulin I was taking and for 3 days I didn’t eat much and only got very low dosages of rapid insulin and my levels dropped to 5.6-9.5. I know it’s still high but better than 31 and I had been running into the 20-30 for several month at that point. I have been watching your videos and have been keeping my diet and intermittent fasting as you are describing and stoped taking the long lasting insulin and only very low doses of rapid, 2-5u if I get over 10. I haven’t needed any insulin for the last few days, I feel lighter and definitely better. Thank you so very much and will keep you posted. Gd bless you. Marina Pacheco - [e-mail]

[@debracottrill7989]

That's really awesome Marina! Isn't it great what you learn by "accident"? Most people are afraid to stop insulin because of Drs that don't want you to find out how to get better. Big pharma is big business. I hope you're doing well.

[@Bevvi1]

Ive just been diagnosed with diabetes and im hoping I've finally found the answer in these videos. Been obese my entire life and spent fortunes on fad diets and low fat, sugar laden foods which have all kept me trapped in the cycle. Really want to turn things around and reclaim my health

My husband has done ATKINS for 4 years his blood work is prefect, sugar way under 100.

[@teflo2]

I did Atkins for three months 50 years ago and lost 55 pounds. Like Dr. Fung said, the "eating plan" has been around long before Dr. Atkins popularized it. Earlier versions were called the "Air Force Diet" because it was used by pilots to lose weight for their jobs. It has a long history of success. The medical haters who couldn't stand Dr. Atkins' fame and fortune which came from helping people, failed to realize that the general public isn't as stupid as they want them to be. In my case, while on the low carb diet ( because Dr. Atkins really didn't discover it), I ate moderate amounts of lean meat, primarily baked chicken and fish, rarely any red meat at all, with lots of green vegetables like salads, green beans, broccoli, and asparagus. That fiber fills you up. The Atkins diet didn't push high fat. All those ASSumptions were just not true, just like the ASSumption that grains and dairy are necessary for a balanced diet. NOT! I'm lactose intolerant, so I stuck to lean meat and green vegetables with little fat. As for gaining it all back, it doesn't have to happen. I've gained back 20 of the 55 lbs lost over a fifty year period, primarily from not being serious enough. Just go with what works. Never mind what other people try to tell you, including the Pharma driven AMA haters.

The only problem...animal protein has definitely been linked to more cancer. Dr Longo (another favorite) recommends low protein, plant based diet with fish once or twice a week. He does cancer/longevity studies with mice and researches thousands of other's studies with animals and people.

[@LTPottenger]

The fiber is only useful for slowing carb release. Eating extra fiber is pointless.

[@MT-sq3jo]

@@LTPottenger You have not paid enough attention to this video. Eating fiber will slow down the absorption of sugar, therefore reducing the insulin spike and lower the insulin resistance, both are great for your health! Adding to his, fiber will also help telling your brain that you are full for longer, therefore reducing hunger and the risk of overeating.

[@LTPottenger]

@@MT-sq3jo As I said already that's not true. Fiber supplements DO NOTHING as is proven again and again in studies. The only benefit is when you have say a whole fruit. But you should avoid sugary fruit anyway. It's all con artistry.

[@jyotipethe]

Dr Fung is truly the bridge between Vegan and Paleo communities. He recommends LCHF, but in the lecture he talks about how whole grain-fruit-vegetables are most effective in terms of insulin effect of food. Let's all pick a side, and 'IF' our way to good health. Take that big pharma!

[@donwald3436]

Veganism is a religion that's the problem.

[@Cattitude369]

Whole grains have very little fiber and almost the same impact as their white counterparts.

[@Fightclub1995]

If you listen carefully he recommends high dietary fat and protein aka eating meat. This is logical, because protein protects muscle mass and muscle mass is the key factor to keeping your metabolic rate higher . Veganism isn't the best way to achieve this, you are just nitpicking what you want to hear.

[@LTPottenger]

You don't get healthy by eating magic foods like vegans will try to tell you. You just get healthy from avoiding bad ones like processed carbs and getting enough vitamins and EPA and DHA and protein in the diet. The vegan diet fails on the last part. You can eat 90% plants but you have to have some animal products to be healthy. If you are t2 diabetic then you should not eat any 'healthy' carbs either until it reverses.

[@denisemartin3603]

So what foods specifically does he say to eat??? Im even more confused😮

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:14 🍽️ *Hormonal impact on obesity: Insulin's role in obesity is crucial; high insulin levels drive weight gain. Refined carbohydrates spike insulin, leading to weight gain, but high insulin levels can develop insulin resistance, creating a cycle independent of food intake.* 02:58 📘 *Low carbohydrate diets' history: Low carb diets have existed since the 1930s. Dr. Atkins didn't invent it but popularized it due to personal success. These diets contrasted traditional low-fat recommendations from institutions like the American Heart Association.* 07:49 🥗 *Low carb diet efficacy: Studies (2003, 2007) consistently showed better short-term weight loss on Atkins-style diets compared to low-fat diets. Atkins diets also exhibited improved cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure markers.* 13:28 💪 *Sustaining weight loss: High protein, low glycemic index diets showed potential for maintaining weight loss post initial loss. Fattening carbohydrates impact both initial and long-term weight loss.* 16:08 🔄 *Energy expenditure impact: Low-fat diets significantly reduce energy expenditure post-weight loss, potentially leading to weight regain. Very low carbohydrate diets displayed the least reduction in energy expenditure.* 18:27 🍳 *Dietary myths debunked: Eating fat does not inherently lead to fat gain, and dietary cholesterol doesn't directly raise cholesterol levels. High-fat diets, despite cholesterol content, showed better cholesterol profiles than low-fat diets.* 21:31 🚫 *Impact of low-fat diets: Traditional low-fat diets recommended by institutions resulted in worse metabolic syndrome markers (abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and sugars).* 22:14 🔑 *Role of insulin resistance: Insulin resistance is crucial in the development of metabolic syndrome, affecting various health markers. Different diets' impact might depend on insulin resistance levels.* 23:22 🍽️ *Different diets impact insulin sensitivity differently: Insulin-sensitive individuals showed no difference between low-fat and low glycemic load diets, but insulin-resistant individuals fared better on low-carbohydrate diets.* 24:03 🍔 *Dietary fat doesn't raise triglyceride levels: Eating fat doesn't increase triglycerides because the body reduces its own production of triglycerides when consuming dietary fat, contrary to assumptions.* 25:14 🦆 *Carbohydrates stimulate fat production in the liver: Refined carbohydrates activate the production of triglycerides, leading to fatty liver accumulation, a significant cause of liver failure.* 26:21 🧪 *Hormonal obesity theory encompasses multiple health issues: Obesity, high triglycerides, low good cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and fatty liver are part of the insulin resistance syndrome.* 27:28 🥤 *Initial weight loss on low-carb diets is water loss: Lowering insulin levels by consuming fewer refined carbs leads to shedding excess water weight, reducing edema and possibly blood pressure.* 28:55 🍖 *High protein diets' impact on kidneys: High protein diets in healthy individuals showed no significant negative effects on kidneys, but caution might be needed for kidney patients.* 30:06 🌾 *Essential nutrients in refined grains are minimal: Refined grains lack essential nutrients, needing fortification, unlike proteins and vegetables that contain essential nutrients.* 32:35 🍪 *Refined carbohydrates might be addictive: Functional MRI studies suggest that refined carbohydrates like sugars and flours might bypass natural satiety signals, leading to potential addiction.* 37:09 🥗 *Natural unrefined foods reduce overeating: It's challenging to overeat natural unrefined foods, leading to reduced calorie intake without explicit restrictions.* 38:30 🍛 *Carbohydrate restriction leads to decreased calorie intake and improved insulin sensitivity: A strict low-carb diet led to reduced calorie consumption and improved insulin sensitivity without calorie restrictions.* 39:40 📉 *Long-term effectiveness of low-carb diets: Low-carb diets showed short-term weight loss, but over time, the weight loss wasn't as significant as expected.* 41:00 📊 *Protein's effect on insulin: Both carbohydrates and proteins, especially dairy proteins, can raise insulin levels, affecting weight gain, even though they might not significantly raise blood sugar levels.* 45:49 🥛 *Dairy proteins significantly raise insulin: Dairy proteins like milk and whey protein raise insulin levels more than some carbohydrate-rich foods, potentially impacting weight gain and insulin resistance.* [46:59 URL] *🐟 There's a correlation between fish intake and diabetes incidence, suggesting a slightly higher risk associated with eating fish due to increased insulin levels.* [48:09 URL] *🍟 Weight gain tends to be linked with foods like potato chips, french fries, and unprocessed red meat, as they raise insulin levels significantly.* [49:31 URL] *🥖 Whole grains and fruits show a protective effect against weight gain and diabetes due to their fiber content, which reduces insulin levels.* [50:12 URL] *🍽️ Most foods consumed raise insulin levels, with meat, eggs, sweeteners, flour, sugar, dairy, and added fats contributing substantially, while fruits and vegetables only constitute 8% of the diet, being less insulinogenic.* [51:45 URL] *🍽️ Hunger is mediated by hormones like ghrelin, CCK, insulin, and leptin, dispelling the myth that constant hunger is necessary for weight loss.* [53:22 URL] *🧠 Leptin, produced by fat cells, signals the brain to stop eating, but high insulin levels can cause leptin resistance, hindering its effectiveness in regulating weight.* [55:40 URL] *🌪️ Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, contributes to weight gain by increasing blood sugar levels and breaking down muscle tissues.* [56:23 URL] *🧘‍♀️ Methods to reduce cortisol levels include stress-reduction techniques like yoga, meditation, massage, and adequate sleep, which can positively impact weight loss.* [57:30 URL] *💤 Sleep plays a crucial role in weight regulation; sleep deprivation leads to increased hunger hormones, decreased satiety hormones, and a higher risk of weight gain and insulin resistance.* [01:02:46 URL] *🥦 Emphasizing unrefined, natural foods like vegetables, fruits, nuts, and berries in the diet is recommended, avoiding highly refined carbohydrates and sugars.* [01:05:02 URL] *🍎 Apple cider vinegar has been observed to improve insulin sensitivity, reduce blood sugar spikes, increase satiety, and potentially contribute to weight loss when consumed with meals.* [01:08:25 URL] *🫒 Vinegar, particularly oil and vinegar dressings, may have a protective effect on heart health by reducing the incidence of coronary artery disease, possibly linked to its impact on insulin levels.* 01:09:19 🥗 *Doctors' lack of nutrition training: Despite lip service to nutrition, doctors receive minimal training in nutrition during medical education, leading to a knowledge gap that persists throughout their careers.* 01:10:59 💊 *Medical focus on drugs: Medical professionals often prioritize pharmaceuticals over lifestyle changes when addressing conditions like obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.* 01:13:04 🚫 *Risks of obesity treatments: Some medical solutions for obesity, like certain drugs and weight-loss surgeries, pose severe risks such as fecal leakage, organ toxicity, and increased heart attack rates.* 01:14:12 💰 *Influence of industry in medical guidance: Some medical advice and articles, even in prestigious journals, can be influenced by financial ties to industries promoting pharmaceuticals, meal replacement shakes, and fast food companies.* 01:16:01 🍔 *Industry influence on nutritional education: Industry players often sponsor nutritional education programs, influencing the information dietitians receive and subsequently convey to the public.* 01:18:45 🛒 *Trust in oneself: Encouragement to rely on personal judgment and discernment regarding nutritional information, considering the multitude of conflicting influences and messages.*

So... unprocessed meat (high protein, low carb) is gonna be associated with insulin resistance, but fruit (high carb and high fiber) isn't? On the other hand a heavy carb diet is not ideal, and there's also the fact that meats also tend to be very nutritious. How do you strike a balance? Maybe just give an example of a balanced diet focused on reverting/preventing insulin resistance? Or is fasting/time-restricted-eating the dominant factor where it comes to insulin resistance?

Blood glucose testing shows that many people to react with significant spikes in their blood sugar levels to whole, 'natural' foods like potatoes, onions, and 'whole grains' (which seldom really are), or even carrots. It can be helpful for people to test their individual responses to these, and other foods - even the 'whole, natural' foods. Ditto for many fruits, especially the Cavendish dessert banana which is the only one Americans know, and grapes. Of course, these - and most fruits offered today in supermarkets - are very different from their wild ancestors. Low sugar berries are more like their wild ancestors, like blueberries and blackberries, but may also contain high levels of oxalates...

My BS levels have dropped a bit (from 330 to 299 or so). I am concerned about persistent high BS levels. How does one go about reducing insulin doses, and when will my pancreas start refunctioning? My doctor told me my pancreas is dead, and all she did was keep prescribing increasing doses of insulin. My gut tells me my pancreas is NOT dead. I am determined to stay with this eating plan FOREVER (eating right and fasting), but I feel if I keep taking exogenous insulin, my pancreas will never kick back in and start producing my own insulin. I feel alone and need encouragement.I am an RN, and all my friends oppose my plan.

If you don't eat carbohydrates, then you won't need as much insulin. Your blood sugar levels are only high because you are consuming carbohydrates. Dr Fung has protocols in his book about long periods of fasting. 4 days 7 days 14 days or even 28 days consuming only water, tea, black coffee or bone broth. and multivitamin everyday. + some salt If you're not eating consuming Sugars of any sort. you shouldn't need insulin. (ask your Doctor first but i'm pretty sure on that) Thus restoring your insulin sensitivity every time you fast and overtime decrease your dependence on exogenous insulin. Hope that helps.

I wish could work with Dr. Jason Fung on my diabetes!

[@NutsinBrazil]

Mary Leslie you can. You can be an outpatient on his Intense Dietary Clinic. They work with remote patients.

[@shooshenchula692]

@@NutsinBrazil : that is good to know. I'm interested in being a remote outpatient with Dr Fung.

People who eat animal protein have higher incidents of Diabetes than those that don't. But what do people eat with meat? And what do people eat with their veggies?

Thank you for all you do Dr. Fung! You’ve helped me a lot

I think its a evolutionary thing that makes us bypass satiety in regards to high carbohydrate foods, its my hypothesis at least that our ancestors didn't always have a lot of food. When finding a large supply of carbohydrates it would be good to binge eat and insulin would increase, and therefor their bodies would store fat for later.

God I love this guy

It worked for my husband.He lost 100 pounds and has kept it off for 4 years. He still always, and I do mean always eats this way. He can eat like a pig too.

Great talk! The Audience interrupting in the end gets really annoying

[@c_farther5208]

It seems to me, what Dr. Fong is saying is, if it is a whole food, unrefined, go ahead with the exception of meats and sugars and oils since they raise insulin. Okay, that breaks it down to some fruit, veges, rices, and tea.

[@LTPottenger]

His favorite healthy food is meat.

[@addo-s-]

@C_Farther He is not saying to avoid meats he was explaining why those diets (atkins etc) also didn't work long term. Although the protein gives you satiety it also spikes insulin. So it's all alluding to the fact that having periods of non-eating (ie. fasting, even old school 12hrs only) is better for the long term, so the focus of the diets was slightly wrong. That's what I'm getting at least.

[@debstayblessed9549]

Thanks for the amazing videos. I have a question. The goal of the Food Pyramid was a healthy populace. The population had come out of epicdemic of infectious diseases. Infectious diseases being cured chiefly by lifestyle, industrial progress and meds. The unintended consequences of Food Pyramid was contributing to Chronic Diseases. One of which is obesity. Another which is heart disease (which Ornish was able to show not only prevention but heart disease reversal). Are you suggesting curing the obesity epidemic is a panacea for chronic diseases? Heart disease is the number killer of Americans. Drs. Ornish, Esstelyn, Campbell, Furhman have been addressing the number one killer of Americans as well as the other chronic diseases. Again thanks

[@LTPottenger]

Yes they are almost all related to the bad diet.

[@yftan2873]

so, why do we eats refine carb? its simple, these thing has long shelf lifes. during the many human expedition, its a good source of food. we have successfully make it taste fantastic.

Insulin level is too high. How insulin level was tested? I never saw even the target what level of insulin is 'high', 'normal' or 'low'? The level of insulin never tested due to be a way too expensive. If the test never run then how it was tested it is 'high' or 'low' as it is in type 1 diabetics? Another point is that there are many diets, one is better another is worse, but the bottom line is they all do not work in long term. Our life is different in every stages. The same diet is not possible for us. So, as soon as diet changed the weight goes back. Third point is that with all these dieting the level of sugar in blood does not reduced down to normal level, only for some %%% . The goal in any treatment such as blood sugar control, or BP control, to keep the level of sugar, BP, TG, or any other levels in the control as closer to healthy level as possible. With reduction or any those level just for some percentage does not provide the control. The result, diet and life style modifications cannot be used as a treatment options, as a prescription for any control, such as BP, BS, TG..... and so on.

[@yftan2873]

they have got test to do it.

[@ravenvoron9315]

Really? If it is C-Peptides then it is pretty different. Also it is pretty difficult to get the point what is 'insulin resistance'? How body system uses insulin in wrong way? Insulin goes into system in very small amounts but without stopping. Even definition of diabetes, what is it? very unclear. Also there is no one test to diagnose the type of diabetes, type 1, type 2, or LADA. I tried to find it. It is C-Peptides test and anti-bodies tests, nether one is accurate. Most important it is not in the protocol to run that tests so in most cases they just do not do it.

[@NutsinBrazil]

Raven Voron you don't need specific test to differentiate type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The first one is genetic, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin and it's detected in childhood. Type 2 is acquired, and usually detected by high glucose levels in blood in adults - except that now there is a spike in children with type 2. The difference is that type 1 children are extremely thin, while type 2 are obese. We know that type 1 is lack of insulin. Blood tests have revealed that type 2 is excess insulin.

[@NutsinBrazil]

Raven Voron you can test for insulin. It's "never done" in routine tests, but your doctor can request it. I suggest you watch the whole 6 lectures on this seminar. He explains it in high detail.
