I’m A 58 year old female that went through menopause four years ago and subsequently gained approximately 10 pounds. I am athletic and have always been active and nothing I did brought me back to the weight I was prior to menopause. I started doing 20 hour fast with a four hour eating window and within three months not only lost the weight but virtually cut out all of my hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms including insomnia. I eat nutritionally dense foods when I eat with occasional slices of sourdough bread or a bite or two of ice cream however my diet has always been very healthy. I am back to the way that I was in high school and I feel better and younger than I have for the majority of my adult life. I definitely do believe there is an interplay between our sex hormones and fasting. It has allowed my libido to stay intact, my skin looks better than it has in years and I have noticed thickening of my hair and strengthening of my nails. All the way around it has been a total game changer!

He likes a combination of Goldfish, carrots, frozen peas (I know...) and chocolate chips. This is by no means perfect. It's a daily challenge. Today, though, I got in a good one. Last night we had fish (that he and his dad had caught and frozen). There was some left over so I pulled out the fish and cut up in attractive tiny pieces (not too much) and warmed it in the microwave for 15 seconds. He devoured it (along with the other items). I didn't even tell him or ask him if he wanted it. I just put it in front of him while he was reading his comic book. I felt charged, like I deserved a medal (I'm not kidding).

Dr. Fung helped me lose fourty pounds and counting in four months. I did intermittent fasting and my body is used to it now. I don’t even miss food anymore. My anxiety went away, my BP went back to normal, my eye floaters went away especially when I had the first Pfizer vaccine. I end up with so many eye floaters. I followed his intermittent fasting and after four months last year I lost fourty pounds. I’m hovering around mid 130’s lbs. I purée my vegetables and drink it everyday twice and my arthritis on my shoulder went away. It was so bad that my family doctor referred me to an orthopaedic surgeon. My right thumb was so painful, it went away also. Thank you. My big veins on my lower right leg just shrunk. I don’t know what happened there but I think I can connect it to my intermittent fasting.

Fast forward to the early 80's when I started having babies and the whole low fat-non fat phase came in. My hormones at this time went crazy, mood swings, PMS. I always thought my legs were my best feature and after this I've have cellulite like crazy, ever since! I've tried so many food plans and diets and nothing really worked especially in the long run. I started intermittent fasting (which I thought I would never do, cuz who can only eat in a small window every day!!!) And I have lost all the weight, my legs look so much better, and I feel great!! I eat a big lunch at noon and then something small before 4:00. In order to do this I kept a travel mug with me with hot water and lemon to sip and that curbed the hunger. I don't need to do that anymore. We really aren't supposed to be eating all the food we eat in this country. Besides the fact that most people aren't eating real food, it's all processed so they are actually getting no nutrition so they are hungry all the time!!

Don't neglect longer fasts, too! 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: 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. 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! 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 precursor to BDNF 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. 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. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. 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.

From my experience, when I was on a high carb diet which involved a lot of bread, pasta and rice, it really was about willpower and counting calories. If I didn't keep an eye on it, I'd overeat. But when I switched to low carb, on most days I felt satiated before I reached the point where I would be overeating and counting calories soon became unnecessary. And it made fasting easier.

technical sense keto, carnivore is a fast-mimicking diet. that is the difference. fasting's focus is on hormones. and high protein or high fat diets do not spike insulin. i.e. body is in a fasted state. ketones are produced. fasting decreases insulin and increases ketones (eventually). personally those diest dont make sense to me. at least not long-term. not sure doing that (depending on how you interpret it. you do eat vegetables, fiber?) longterm for next 30 years will be a good idea. pooping will hurt one day of fiber is no longer in your diet. lol.

I have been in a diet every year since the age of 14. Loosing weight only to put it all back on. The diets went well for a couple of weeks, then because of being tired, hungry and bored I stopped. I took all the low fat advice. At 60 I ended up fat with a heart condition and pre-diabetic. In January I read Fung's book "The Complete Guide to Fasting". It is a very easy read, makes great sense, and is very up-beat. I chose OMAD (one meal a day). After two days I no longer felt hungry except an hour before food. I lost 20lbs before the end of Feb. After that I was able to relax my regime, but have now increased my loss to 35lbs. I have 20lbs to go which I intend to do over the rest of the year. Massively reducing carbs has made this possible since carbs, especially sweet things switches off Leptin and fat burning and instructs the body to store fat and go hungry. When you know the science everything falls into place. Of course I've had to ignore the standard advice LFHC, and choose HFLC. My A1C "blood sugar" is down, my Triglycerides are down and my HDL is up. However my LDL is up but according to many people now that is completely irrelevant without knowing particle size, and the NHS do not do that test. LDL is not "bad". I no longer get chest pain.

I have some egg salad sometimes. Basically fatty meats but you'd have the best success preventing hunger pangs if you eat fatty beef. As Dr. Ken Berry on KZbin says "Beef, Butter, Bacon and Eggs". Eat that everyday and you'll see major success. I have a sweet tooth so I make Keto desserts like ice cream, brownies etc. Feel free to ask whatever questions.

[@Barbiette123]

@@tisha4lives But I thought Bacon is unhealthy? Also how did you manage to transition to OMAD? I am new to this and struggling to stick to it. I find no carb quite boring :(

You can also do this eating plant-based and have a very filling, chock-full of nutrients, and satisfying meal with a super variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, and nuts and seeds. I have been completely plant-based for 3 years and love the variety. My inflammation and pain in my arthritic knee reduced dramatically within weeks, and I lost 50lbs. I am glad to transition now to OMAD to feel even better, live longer, and lose the rest of the weight I need to lose. It’s a relief to free up my days from meal prep and eating!

Congratulations! I lost 30, as well! Thinking of you and wishing you well ,on your journey!!

I appreciate the debunking of "women can't fast" (hi I'm a woman and I fast) but please don't be afraid to name the issue, Dr Rangan - women's responses and biology are still seen as atypical within medicine. When people say "women respond differently", the implication is that male responses are the baseline. I can tell you're conscious of this in the way you talk about it 😊 but it would be really awesome to clarify if/how male and female responses differ throughout the conversation (if it's relevant), rather than as a separate section on 'Women'. Hope you don't mind the feedback, this was an awesome podcast!

[@elizabethkoenig5185]

Yes--I've been told that as a woman--especially a post-menopausal woman--that I can't fast. But now after 7 months of mostly alternate day fasting I am down over 85 lbs.

[@louiseraindrops8777]

I intermittent fast and I look and feel the best I ever have before in my life. I am now trying to get to 3 day fasting. Thanks to Jason, I’m so grateful.

[@elizabethkoenig5185]

You can do it! I just came off an 11 day fast a couple of weeks ago.

Dr Fung is an absolute legend.

This guy is so impressive ! He is spot on and just uses his common sense.

Lots of Asian cultures compliment their rice consumption with consumption of fermented foods which cuts glucose saturation ...or such is my understanding .

[@TOOTSWEET61]

Brilliantly explained. The understanding of a lot more of the unexplained details around fasting will help me fast a lot better than I have been. Thank you to these two doctors for this brilliant interview.

Totally agree that eating habits have increased obesity. When I was a child in the 60s, we had 3 meals a day. Very occasionally, a cookie and on the weekend I was allowed a treat from the sweets box. I didn't feel deprived. I did mostly the same with my kids. They got limited snacks, but they had to ask me first. They did not get free access to snacks. Now adays, it seems kids especially have free access to snacks at home. There is no limit on the amount of 'inbetween' food. Even healthy food can be too much. It's seems to be a thing now. Baby cries give them a banana or raisins or grapes etc etc. They are constantly being offered food, so many children are growing up thinking its normal to eat all the time. If, as a kid, I said I was hungry near dinner time, I was told well its OK diner is soon end of lol. I think we need to get back to normal patterns of eating and enjoy quality food at meal times. Also, more food and nutrition education in schools.

Fantastic interview! Fantastic channel! You provide access to such a variety of truly helpful experts! Thank you!

[@irenemcsweeney4042]

Such an informative program ...your explanation of how it all works simple enough for a normal person to understand thank you so so much Dr Fung

I began IF on March 28th, I've lost 30lbs 😊

Dr. Fung has saved my life.

[@tanyaboshoff8361]

Every time I listen to Dr Fung I stand amazed at his knowledge and just the simplicity of it! Wish he would make more video’s.

[@deeandrews7051]

He is so right about the rice. When you are really really hungry, almost anything seems good to eat.

[@jameslittle5214]

I work at home, so this is easy for me. Normal breakfast at 10:00, large lunch at 14:00(after workout), small dinner at 17:00. 17 hour fast every day I go to the gym. On weekends, I skip breakfast, and move lunch to 13:00.

[@zuzuzimmi]

This episode (like so many other videos you make) is absolutely priceless and can truly help people take a life changing path towards healthier and balanced future. Thank you!

[@missingcdaniel]

I too love Dr. Fung. Education is EVERYTHING.

[@alexi2460]

Love Dr. Fong. Recently I sent his book to a friend, who is a nurse, after she told me most of her relatives In India were having diabetes and were on so many meds.

Dr Fung is the best 💕🍀🕊️☀️💖 Greetings from Italy

[@lillianB916]

Omg thank you Doctor, I love love love your channel!! Thank you so much!! I love listening to actual educated Dr’s that are talking truth in all subjects on here. Sharing their own personal research and the outcome of their studies. I do not have a college degree I’m in the percentage of population that just has some college and this channel I can understand completely and you will stop the dr talking to have them explain a certain thing you feel we need and it’s just excellent!! I hope this channel explodes with popularity more than it already is!

[@severinethompson2888]

This is an excellent video which explains why some of us may experience no weight change. What we eat is as important as how frequent. I will look more into this especially when thinking about mental health.

Just woke up to a B/P of 119/56. My neuro doc from my car accident wanted me to eat breakfast when I I don't feel like it. I said no. My weight is steadily going down from all the steroids I was given. Because I was overweight initially and as a woman he thought I was on BP meds. My BP only went up when I was in his office and upon waking up. I showed him a chart of my normal BP and he was floored. He was taught that he had to change something. On the other hand, my sleep doc said if it works... he's OK. And suggested that I increase my Omega 3 over my Omega 6 oils. I stayed with this doc and feel so much better. Am actually exercising now.
