Love You 🎉 Jan 2024 = 250 lbs Jan 2025 = 142 lbs
Beef, poultry, butter, bacon, eggs and seafood 95% of the time. Lost 100 pounds and I have kept it off for 4 years. 72 year old male. A1c is 4.6 and trigs are 48.
Dear Honourable Dr Jasin Fung. Many doctors in Pakistan used your knowledge as a reference and thousands and thousands of Pakistani have reversed their diabetes including me. Thank you so much. Kindest regards
1)Reduce total number of high glycemic carbs; eat a low carbohydrate diet. 2)Do intermittent fasting; gives your body time to burn off the carbs 3)Eat more high fiber foods; fiber is not absorbed and won't contribute to glucose levels. 4)Eat low glycemic index foods which are those natural unrefined carbohydrates which slow the rise of blood glucose (in using flour products, eat whole wheat high fiber flour products ) to prevent the higher spikes created by easily absorbed refined carbs. (Slow carbs vs Fast carbs). 5)Eat starchy carbs LAST during your meal. 6)Don't eat "naked carbs"; Add vinegar or lactic acid or acidic ingredients to slow down the absorption and rise in blood glucose. 7) Add "resistant starches"; that is starches the body can't absorb and which lowers and slows glucose levels. 8) Take a walk within 30 minutes of finishing your meals. This starts your muscles burning all that available glucose and prevents it getting stored, so your insulin levels will fall. 9)Don't eat the late carb heavy meal because the body will want to store it away. Take earlier dinners...avoid late evening meals.
The world should be thanking this wonderful Doctor
I can not begin to express my gratitude for your books. Six months ago I was prediabetic. I read your books, cut out junk and sugar and started 16/8 fasting at least 5 days a week. Yesterday at my six months check all my numbers were normal and I am not longer prediabetic. Thank you so much. You have literally changed my life. Oh and I lost weight as well.😊
Dr. Fung is a National Treasure.

Went from A1C of 12.5 down to 5.0 and stayed here over 2 years so far. NO grains, no sugars (includes all fruits except avocados, lemons, raspberries, blackberries), no "vegetable"/seed oils at all. One meal/day. Lost 105 lbs. in the first year. I'm a 66 yo female - not some young sport!
I wore a continuous glucose monitor for a couple weeks and one thing I learned is that as long as I consumed protein, or a lot of fiber, I could eat carbs without it spiking by blood sugar. But if I ate carbs by themselves, my blood sugar would spike.
