Still no examples of fasting models? Between meals during the day or from 6pm till next day! Again a lot of people fast then binge eat during eating window and then no results! Your body will take everything it’s used to have during eating window and use it when fasting ��

Shorter days and worse weather cause us to stay inside and exercise less whilst eating more. That’s a calorie surplus right there.

His thinking is very different from most physicians. He is actually talking about “curing” a disease, rather than treating a symptom. He is NOT just a pill pusher!
Im feeling lazy and tired everyday but mostly i feel dizzy and i barely eat like 1 times a day or maybe 5times a week.
Can type 2 diabetics get the CGM & pump, so you only take what you need? And not a fixed amount? Because this weight gain is IRRITATING! My A1C was 11. Maybe it’s lower now.
This is great info! The circadian rhythm is so important! I love how more information is coming up about the importance of sunlight, circadian rhythm, and how it affects stress hormones and built-in regulatory mechanisms. Really cool stuff (especially for someone who has always lived in a major city)!
I literally eat. Like a bunch of junk food and do not gain anything I swear I loss weight

My new book, How Not to Diet is all about the research on weight loss. Check out the trailer at https://youtu.be/h_0pEOTHt30 and read more about the book https://nutritionfacts.org/how-not-to-diet.
It’s for the same reason that the gain weight at any time of the year they eat too many calories
Avoid eating at night completely?!?
I would rather pick up weight… ��
Nothing about vitD levels going down with shorter daylight lower in the sky?
Mow lawns all summer and by fall you will be lean, if you eat correctly however. My weight gain has always been in the winter.
Sorry but i have to share my stupid thought: “so climate change makes us fat?” 😉
I always noticed that I gain weight during autumn and winter. Even though I don’t change anything. I eat exactly the same amount of calories and I go outside a lot during the day to catch some day light. I also go to sleep early and wake up early and very active in the gym. Still gain weight in this season and lose it when spring comes. I would say I gain around 1-1,5 kg. Can’t do anything about it. I always knew it is a seasonal thing.
I’m 65 kg am 18 years old kid but iam skinny how to gain fat
Can anyone tell me the best time to eat breakfast according to science? munching on berry overnight oats

What? I never gain weight in fall, then again, I don’t stop exercising when everyone else is sat inside watching TV…
I have to do c shift twice a month and iam vat dosh what should I do
As Shakespeare said: “The spring, the summer, the childing autumn, angry winter change their wonted liveries”:)
I thought that because winter was coming up I’d be able to cover more of my extra belly lol vegan junk food is delicious, need to cut down those weekends lol also, I’ve had smoothies at night and ended up so gassy I couldn’t even sleep well throughout entire night due to bloating it’s hard because I get hungry about 10pm
I’ve always been backwards, losing weight through fall and winter and gaining some in spring and summer due to increased activities mainly.
In Australia, our Christmas is during the summer and people still blame that for weight gain!
This is super interesting. Thank you so much for this video! Your videos always inspire me to keep posting on my channel.
Might want to flashback Friday this one for me in about 7 months.
Why is it called a disorder? It’s a natural response. And night workers can do almost NOTHING that you advise. Sorry to disappoint.
You ever get so skinny and it comes to a point where it’s uncomfortable to lay on your front because you can feel your heartbeat push against the mattress?
Can you wear contacts for some of the videos? I think seeing your eyes better would help your videos do better. #millenials
Happy to hear this as I just woke up from a day time cat nap. I also manage to gain a few lbs during the fall anually, I generally also tend to loose them again in spring, perhaps this year even earlier as I’m on a 3 week course of anti-biotics to eradicate remnants of a Lyme infection, in a previous course I lost about 10 lbs in 2-3 weeks.
Did Dr Gregor make this just after crying? His eyes are so red!
So if this is true, wouldn’t we suppose that populations who have continually lived in equatorial areas would not experience this increase in food consumption during the fall? Since our ancestors would have developed in equatorial regions, I would think this would have been an adaptation which would have enabled populations that migrated into harsher environments to survive. This thought process could take us down a very long rabbit trail. I will just stop there��.
The fasting revolution has begun!!! Yay Dr Fung! Nobel prize soon? Thank you truLOCAL TV and Stephanie Kay, I am always looking for recent and short “primers” to show my friends who ask me “what I have done” (to lose weight). Dr Fung and the great people in his team and supporters are truly changing people’s lives. We need new words… “fasting” still scares people. Sometimes “intermittent eating” is easier to… “swallow” 😉
Which Jewish Prophet never practise fasting? And sadly who many Jews and Christians actually practise fasting?
In August 2019 when I was 14 I was around 9 stone and now March 2020 I’m 15 but now 8 stone.
I checked the thing in the description and I’m still apparently a healthy weight
What’s the biggest struggle you’ve had with gaining weight/muscle so far?
Most people work out in spring & winter to look good for the summer
People think skinny people have it easy. Hmmm, nope. Gaining weight is so hard for me, I have to take lots of meal supplements, vitamins, etc, It’s a pain in my arse to eat 2 cheeseburgers and 2 McChickens at McDonalds and still be less than 100 pounds. I am so malnourished and people have the guts to tell me that they envy me and that i’m lucky I have a fast metabolism.
i have been fasting for 2 years (20/4), i feel better but i have not lost much weight. i have a piece of fruit after my dinner, is this the cause?
Dr. Jason Fung is awesome.
I do want to ask about most efficient weight loss fasting regiments. I would like to reach my optimal weight as quickly as possible while still being mindful of health and losing fat. I’ve been able to do 2 day fasts and am interested in a longer-term fast.
My question is:
1. I know metabolism increases/stays the same in the first 5 days of the fast but does it diminish significantly after 5 days? To remain efficient for fat loss, should I stop around 5 days and do another 5 day fast later in a few days?
Thank you.
Yes, obviously Dr Fung is a life saver. I am trying to GAIN weight with diabetes, what low carb safe foods should I eat?
Absolute Respect Jason….You make logical sense….thank You Sir, I shall embark on intermittent fasting right away…will inform you of the effect on my weight and diabetes…
You should be my Lecturer��, this was so interesting and informative ��
Idk why but no matter how much I eat I don’t get fat nor do I gain weight, stupid stupid body
Btw… I wonder if anyone has done any studies on people living in the far north when it’s dark for 2+ months and/or light for nearly 3 mos at a time?
I now eat 2x a day breaking my overnight fast @ 10-11am. My next meal is during 5-9pm. Now I need to know what to eat in the Evenings?
how long will it take for every other doctor to move away from giving us misinformation about dieting? They are still being taught that low fat high carb diets are the way to go in medical school. Dr. Fung is giving us the opposite instruction, and so far no one has been able to refute his findings as false or harmful. So why aren’t the medical institutions evolving when their advice to eat low fat and more frequently is harmful?
A very brilliant presentation. I’m already on d intermittent fasting owing to the recommendation of my doctor in Nigeria.
I came across Dr. Fung’s talks 6 months ago. I am a diebatic for 40 yrs. I am blessed. I am doing internment fasting ever since. My A1C from 8 has come down to 6.2 last month I am off my insulin but still on tablets. I will not give up & try to lower my medication. I lost 6kg. I am a 68 year old Indian lady who always loved my rice. Thanks Dr.
She’s a nutritionist and doesn’t know what Nephrologist means? Wow.
I started intermittent fasting July 1st.9 days ago and I’ve lost 8 pounds already and my blood sugars are really good.110 in the mornings which is better than the 170’s previously.and my blood pressure is averaging 120/72.previously 140/90.I feel great and haven’t needed my daily afternoon naps.I eat at 9am and 3pm and go to bed at 1130pm.the hardest part was between 5pm to 10pm but that was only the first 3 days.now I’m used to it
Fasting(no food & water from dawn to sunset) is the best…Muslim fast 30 days (Ramadan) every year; 3 days (13th,14th,15th) every lunar month. Monday and Thursday every week. Muslims are doing this last 15 hundred years.
He is awesome I tried every diet and as a single mom weighing 320 pounds I was not sure I could live life and even for my beautiful son. Now at 75 pounds lighter doing IF it is the best for me!:) I still have to loose more but I canceled my surgery and life is great:)
I’m 15 and weigh 7st 9lbs with a high metabolism. I should be 9st and it’s really annoying because I find it hard to gain weight, however I checked my BMI on the NHS website and they said I’m a healthy weight but everyone says I’m skinny
Great interview, the second camera following his face like that is disconcerting though, a fixed angle would be much better.
Have tried IF for a month. Sometimes skip in between. My reflux and digestive problems almost recovered 80%. Feeling energetic and having clarity of the mind. Have lost around 2kg. Dr Jason Fung’s full commitment and compassion heart has won many of us who are desperate looking for a cure on our disease. You are awesome great, Dr Jason! Keep up the good work..ya!
Dr. Fung.
There are bogus videos of amazing weight loss testimonials using your name and seling a producet. Is that you? https://youtu.be/7Hcv0zzVwaA
thank you Dr Fung you are the best and because of you i tried IF for 3 months now and i lost 12 kg and i am off my bp tablets and cholesterol tablet and i am feeling great.God bless you Dr Fung
For the past three years, I wasn’t able to lose weight. Even if I ate less, weight wouldn’t go down, infact, it was going up, so I gained almost 30 kilos over the past 4 years, but then, this year I started to fast, now I’m 15 kilos down and going lower. And I’m amazed how I don’t feel hungry, no sugar cravings, and I am finally in control of what I eat and when I eat. I was inspired by Dr. Fung and Dr. Berg. So thanks for all. And great video.
1:45 my grandma tells me to eat pasta, white rice, chocolate, etc. all i say is “im not gonna gain weight the unhealthy way”
I dunno, sounds like fasting could be too expensive for me with all that nothing I’d have to go buy.
IF 20/4 & keto for life! Been living this way for 2 years & never going back.
i gain 90 pounds last time and i lost it even if i eat i still can’t gain weight ����♀️ hate feeling skinny
I dont know how to pray for this doctor fung,he is wonderful i tried all his methods and am so much ok.thamk u great dr fung
A question that I have been trying to find an answer to is: does IF work for people who are by no means obese or even overweight but suffer from diabetes? My boyfriend tried 36 hr fasting 3 times a week to overcome diabetes, he is not obese at all. He is active, doing at least an hour of exercise every day. The result of IF for him was the loss of a great amount of muscle mass. He stopped taking medication and insulin, but the blood sugar was not well controlled when he was not fasting. And the A1C levels did not go down after 3 months. We are mostly worried about loss of muscle mass. Any advice is appreciated!
Thank you for explaining this to people.:) This is how I became so successful with Keto and have lost 124 lbs. Between IF, Keto and OMAD.:)
What? ONLY 80 likes out of the 2,930 views as of Friday October 4/2019? C’mon people! Thanksgiving will be upon you soon! Share, like and spread the word “Intermittent Eating” (as I now like to call it)… WORKS! Been doing it for 2 years with great results and… it’s FREE!
After 3 years of not being able to lose weight and many years of yo-yo dieting and weight gain prior, I have lost 15 lbs with IF. It is a game changer!!
Been fasting for over 5 months and it is working well for me.
Even though I have maintained a 60+lb loss for over 10 years, I have ALWAYS put on 5 lbs every winter and had to “take it off” in the spring. Considering I live in cold and dark Alaska, it seems normal. I DO slow down. This year, after following The Starch Solution and being in Alaska this winter, (last winter I was in TX), I have NOT gained the 5 pound fluff! I am SO thankful for my love of veggies, fruits, legumes, and whole grains that I can eat abundantly.
With Dr. Fung’s advice I brought my A1C from 9 down to 5.7 in 3 months. I also lost over 50 pounds.
Great to see a nutritionist open to learning about this. I’ve lost almost 50lbs following Dr. Fungs programs learned from his book. At the beginning a nutritionist I met with told me this was not sustainable and would also raise my cholesterol, two years later I have not regained a pound and my bloodwork is the best it’s ever been. Thanks Dr. Fung.
