My two brothers have Type 2 diabetes and my grandma died of Type 2 diabetes. 3 & 1/2 years ago, my A1C # was 6.1, prediabetic and my doctor asked me to take a medication. I found Dr. Fung's seminar video and started 16-hour intermittent diet. My A1C # went down to 5.8 in a year and now is 5.6, completely normal. My doctor was so surprised and asked me how I did it. Now I am not hungry at all from 7PM to 12:30PM next day and eat a brunch. My brain is sharper than ever during the time and I have more energy than ever. I'm the ONLY one in my family not diabetic and not on a medication. I cannot thank Dr. Fung enough by any words.

This guy gets it. I only eat between the hours of 5-8pm everyday and it's a game changer. My stomach has become so flat and my energy has increased. For anyone who thinks they can't do it. The body will adjust. At first you experience hunger pains but keep going. Now I rarely ever think of food. Its so nice to not be controlled by food

I read his book and have tried incorporating his teachings into my daily life. 16, 24, and 36 hour fasts. Increasing fiber, protein, and fat and reducing carbohydrates. July 4th 2023 I was 311 pounds. I weighed myself this morning. I'm 260 pounds. Its slow but im getting there.

As a nutritionist, I consider that this interview has been more worth my time than many of the exams I have been taking in school 😂

A plastic surgeon I spoke with in 2018, who refused to do liposuction on me, said search for Dr. Jason Fung. Read his book. Here in Manila, I just couldn’t find his book in 2018. Then I started seeing him on my feed during the pandemic, and he saved me from rolling over to diabetes. I found his speaches to universities and medical audiences, and interviews with his fellow doctors. He is a gift to the world. ❤

My ex husband had type 2 diabetes for 10 years. He went on a low carb diet and did a 36 hour fast, 3 times a week. He is no longer a diabetic. His doctor was just amazed and smiling ear to ear when all the blood work came back showing this. My ex can now eat a little less of a strict diet and still fasts...just less of a time period. He totally cured his diabetes 100% through diet and fasting.

I did a 10 day fast (240 hours) and holy moly it changed my life forever... My suicidal thoughts and sweet tooth are gone... I'm 25 and I feel like a 5 year old again... I enjoy life again...

I was diagnosed DT2 in Aug 2017. Kick off low carb high fats regime in Sept 2020. Got rid of statin, metformin, mecobolamin & insulin in just a few months. Declared diabetic free by 6 different doctors from 2022 till my last appointment in Jan 2024. Thanks to you Dr Fung! Love from Kelantan, Malaysia🇲🇾

Self proclaimed Fungster. Have been fasting since 2019. The Obesity Code is one of those books that I list as life changing. It is also one of the books that actually made me angry. All of the BS that has been spoon fed to us by big pharma and big food. Keep doing your great work Dr Fung!

I audibly gasped when I saw Dr. Fung was the guest for this episode. He is absolutely brilliant and I’m so, so happy you brought him on the podcast. Thank you! 🙏🏻

In my teenage, early adulthood I read tons of fitness magazines. All that info destroyed in an hour and a half. How did I only discover this channel now? What an amazing guest.

I exercised for 9 years.... Doing gym daily 2 and half hours... I also had personal trainer.. Maximum i could lose was 4kgs.... One fine day i left gym and kept studying then i understood its mainly on food intake and little bit walking is enough... Now i have reduced 8kg in two months...... With 10k steps daily and two times food intake... Food whatever made in house but less sweet, less oil... Thats all

"That body fat isn't there for looks"! 😄 I love this guy and the way he explains things. Great interview.

I am 63. My top weight was 368 lbs. I have been in and out of outpatient hospital obesity and/or weight management programs for years. They work on the calories in/calories out belief which does work for the first 4 months. Your body then gets smart and adjusts to fewer calories and you plateau. When the pandemic was in full gear, a close friend told me that I more likely would die from CoVid because of my age and weight. This put a fire in me because the medical community was going beyond moral judgement but sentencing me to death. I took all the crayons in my box, and colored and drew upon my experience and created something sustainable for me. First, I fasted for 48 hours to feel hunger. I know that sounds weird, but when you are constantly eating around the clock, you forget what that feels like. It was only then that I learned the difference between needing to eat or needing to hydrate. Second, I ate 3 or 4 meals in an 8 hour window (intermittent fasting). After then, I would only drink water to fill my belly. Third, I walked 5 to 6 miles per day, basically, 3-1-2 morning-noon-evening. I lost 105 pounds and then plateaued for over 9 months. So I decided to readjust my set-point weight and jump-start my metabolism by eating 2400 calories daily for about 3 days or so. Then, I went back to fasting for just 36 hours, with a big dinner to celebrate! I then added more protein, lowered carbs, and ate between 1500 to 1800 calories. I started weight/resistance training to ensure muscle gain and/or tone and fat loss. I am now down to 253 lbs. My goal is to reach One-derland and then lose for esthetics (Oh, VANITY!) Thanks, Dr. Jason Fung!💗😄 You led me to this heath journey 4 years ago when I stumbled onto your page.

I am one of those millions that Dr Fung has changed their lives. When ever I fall off wagon I just go back and listen to your lectures and you put me back on track. I am a Dr that just orders me lab test and you as my real doctor. Thanks

Dr. Fung, you are not arrogant, you are a justified hero!!! You’ve helped so many. I hope the whole world wakes up to your teachings and that your legacy lives on in the form of healthier future generations with low prevalence of PCOS and T2 Diabetes! ❤

This man saved my life. I was obese class III, suffering from insulin resistance/pre-diabetic I’m about 20 pounds from my goal weight. Used fasting and strength training eating all food groups, whole carbs rather than refined. In the best shape of my life! Thank you Dr. F’ing!

I started fasting after watching your interview with Dr. Mindy Pelz last year and I lost 27 pounds in my weight loss Journey. I actually stumbled on your youtube channel by accident, and till now I remember how great I felt. Fast forward I have been following since, and there was a point where I gained the weight back. I had a crazy schedule and was a caretaker for my Father... so I didn't sleep well, a lot of late night snacks. I had other weight loss offers and for some reason couldn't get myself to fast like I used to. I'm on the youtube looking for ways to loose weight again, and stumbled upon Doctor jason Fungs video... on the side I couldn't believe that he was interviewed by you, so you know I had to click it. I have confirmed again, that this is the best thing for me to get on right now. It makes total sense. Yes, I will be forever grateful for these individuals and also to you for bringing these subjects to light. Wish me luck on my weight loss journey continued... Fasting Day 1. today and starting fresh again. Thank you!!!
