Intermittent Fasting - Busting the Myths Lecture | Jason Fung

You saved my life Dr Jason Fung 🙏 lost 25 kgs and control my T2 diabetes with no meds... Got your book for a present.. life changing

What is particularly noble about Dr. Fung is that this information is put on YouTube for anyone to find and use and benefit from. Its not behind a paywall, its not a commercial for buy my product, its just out there for anyone to use and get healthy. If only I had this information 10 years ago. I only recently discovered Dr. Fung in June of '22, but have lost over 70 pounds since then. Having watched almost all of the videos by now, I can't help but grin a tiny bit when Dr. Fung sounds a little exasperated at trying to say nicely for the 1 millionth time, "your eating to darn much!". I guess this is pretty much what ever doctor goes through with their patients. 😀

So great to spend a Sunday afternoon settling in and watching a Dr. Fung lecture! (Better than the Packers today 🤪😅!). I remember when I started watching almost two years ago I was wondering if all this was really true and worked but felt it was worth a try. Now, I watch and think "Yes! That's so true! That's exactly what happens and how it works!". I'm 59 and I've lost over 150 lbs. and have been maintaining it well since then. The transformation has been profound. I did it all on my own, just by following and reading Dr Fung's books. I'm off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis pain is so much better and my asthma is gone. I'm so thankful. Learning to fast changed my life. Thanks again for all you do 😊🙏

Calorie restriction leads to a decrease in metabolic rate, limiting body fat loss. 16:38: 🍽 As energy drops and metabolic rate decreases, hunger levels increase due to higher levels of ghrelin hormone. 22:08: 🔥 Fasting increases noradrenaline levels and switches the body's fuel source from food to stored body fat, leading to increased energy expenditure. 27:22: 🍽 Skipping dinner allows your body to use stored fat for energy and reduces hunger levels. 32:24: 🔑 Controlling hunger is more important than controlling diet for weight management. 38:01: 💡 Fasting is a natural and beneficial part of our physiology that can be done by both males and females without any harm. 43:22: 🍽 Fasting is more important now than ever due to the prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic disease. 48:51: 🕒 The physical hunger during fasting tends to decrease, but the psychological hunger from constant temptation is the real challenge. 53:54: 🍽 Stimulating your appetite with sweet foods can lead to overeating and weight gain. 58:56: ! The food industry introduced snacking after World War II to increase profits. 1:04:36: 📚 Fasting can help manage and even reverse type 2 diabetes by allowing the body to burn glucose and deplete its stores, leading to weight loss and improved health. Recap by Tammy AI

I’m on day three of starting 16/8. I went to visit a friend and they offered me two of the things I love most. BBQ potato chips and peanut butter cookies. I wasn’t hungry and I managed to not eat any of it. It was tough. But I kept telling myself I wasn’t hungry and succeeded in not eating any of it. 🎉

Dr Fung just keeps honing this message - still getting better every time he does it ! Also, the person interrupting the audio is clearly not following the presentation (and requests for muting) , so next time, just kick them off.

Man, I loved this...and also I want to smack the people that cannot seem to grasp the idea of muting themselves. ;)

I hate it when I'm on a work call and the dogs get loose 🤣

The more you fast, the better the outcomes.
