10 weeks ago my Psoriasis was awful & after months of going nowhere with my GP I went to a specialist. My specialist recommended Jason's methods rather than toxic steroids or immune suppression drugs & it was a game changer. 10 weeks on my skin is no longer an issue & controlling only via a super super clean, low carb diet, no seed oils & zero processed foods with dailly fasting 16/8. The results are just amazing thank you Jason this way changed my life ❤

I am at the coal face of these ideas. 3 years ago I was fat and ill. I read Fung's fasting guide and several of Taubes books. 5 months later I was 50lbs lighter and had not counted a single calorie. A combination of fasting and avoiding carbs meant I was easily able to lose the weight with out significant hunger. Yes of course I ate less calories. But so what? It's because with this regime I did not FEEL like I needed to eat the calories. The combination of the fasting and the low carb switched my metabolism to a fat adapted burn. I was able to go long periods where my stomach was grumbling by I was not. My body was sourcing the energy from storage. The difficult time was the first week, which was a hell having one meal per day. Obviously the meal was fabulous self cooked based on meat, eggs fish or in combination with green matter such as salad, or cabbage, brocolli, toms , onions, etc. Unlike all other diets I have been on, and there were many, the weight is still off, but never hungry. Three years ago I was nearly 260lbs ,with fatty liver, on seven medications, prediabetic with a heart condition. This was after 50 years of almost annual dieting using the calorie restiction method and resulting in a net weight loss that would tip the scales of a large donkey. But these diets always ended the same way; tired, hungry, obsessed with food- counting caloires and dreaming about the next meal, facing having to cut calories further to get any result. I am now no longer prediabetic, no fatty liver, no more heart pain, I've dumped the Statin, Aspirin, the CCI drug , the PPI drug, and lowered my BP meds. I've not yet had the courage to stop taking allopurinol despite now knowing that the role of fructose (thanks to Richard Johnson) against just purines. So thanks Jason Fung, and Gary Taubes. I would also like to thank Robert Lustig (Fat Chance, Metabolical), Nina Teicholz (Big Fat Surprise), and Chris Van Tulleken for writing "Ultra Processed People"

I had 3 people raging at me yesterday telling me dietary fat is terrible that you should eat a near fat free diet. I asked them why they believe that and they replied "Oh come on, everyone knows fat is bad for you" This is how deep the programming has gone

After meeting Gary Taubes just once I can confirm he is the most genuine, humble yet brave man on a mission of truth. Full respect duly given. Thank you both.

How refreshing to see a real scientific approach to nutrition. I am the son of a University of Chicago statistics professor and mother who studied physics there with Fermi; I rarely see this understanding. If only everyone studied philosophy and stopped using logical fallacies this world would be a different place. I always ask "What does the data tell me?" not "what can I prove with the data?"
