Jason Fung, Pradip Jamnadas, and Eric Berg changed my life. I've lost almost 100 lbs in seven months. All my blood tests are perfect, and my doctors are thrilled. I'm 61 and thought I'd never lose the weight. If I can do this, anyone can.

Around the time The Obesity Code came out I was on my way to bariatric surgery. But the annexes of that book really changed my life. Went from 200 to 120kgs in 8 months with fastings from 5 to 44 days whilst leaving fructose out of the diet. Today I have a new life thanks to Dr. Fung.

I cut off carb and sugar, plus intermittent fasting for 2 months. I was 5'3" 170lbs and now, 144lbs!! This really works!!

The worst news I heard in my life was when my clinic doctor told me “ you are prediabetic”.A1c was 5.8 , Glucose was 260 and my weight was 201 lbs. I wasn’t able to read news and emails in my phone because my vision was week and blurry. I was very upset and hate the word diabetes because my parents had it and they both passed away. My two brothers have diabetes taking ( Glucophage tablets) after every meal. My doctor didn’t tell me anything about insulin resistance. I came home and started thinking. I found Dr. Jason on KZfaq watched his videos repeatedly and decided to implement his advices practically. After eight to nine months, I lost weight , A1c dropped and triglycerides, cholesterol became normal. I reduced carbs intake and eat twice a day only. I have a normal health and never think about diabetes anymore.

Dr Jason, Berg, Pradip should receive the special Oscar of KZfaq !!! Starting fasting few weeks ago …. Today my numbers are perfect …..first time in 15 years !!!! Unfortunately I followed for years the wrong direction of the $$$$ medical business and that took me to the ER with 4 bypass surgery!! The good news is : it is never too late 👍thank you gentlemen

No idea why most first line physicians don’t know this, or don’t believe it. Even endocrinologists preach “smaller portions and exercise” not the “WHY” that works. Dr. Fung rocks!

Happy Sunday, Dr. Fung and to everyone watching. Stay happy, healthy and wise 🌸🤍🎀 Have a great day

finally the first person who explains why the resistance happens, thank you!

Give this man the Nobel Prize! Thank you for your passion to help others, Dr Fung. I’ve benefit greatly from your talks. 🙏🏽

Anyone else just watch these on Sundays to support the Fungster even thought they already know everything to be covered?

This by far the most clear and easy to follow video on what insulin resistance is.

Insulin is the hormone that makes a obese, sick and tired. Following a keto and even sometimes carnivore diet I have completely reversed my debilitating anxiety. It's more than just weight loss, it's changes people's psychology🤓

Thank you Dr Fung. Two months ago my doctor said I am pre diabetic and I decided that getting myself back on track is my new challenge, and so I started researching into what I can do to help myself. I have heard from friends that type 2 diabetes is not curable and that people would get fat and overweight and so on, and that I will end up taking more and more medications as there shall be side effects with more medications. I don't want any of these! I came across one of your videos and it was easy to understand and logical. I started the 168 regime on Oct 18 (today is Dec 14) coupled with low carb low sugar diet and my weight dropped from 160 lbs to today's 141.5lbs, body fat went down from 23.3% to today's 19.6%, BMI went down from 24.4 to today's 22.5. a1c went from 6.2 to 6.1, fasting blood sugar dropped from 6.8 to 5.7, total cholesterol went from 6.2 to 5.2. Btw my six packs finally showed, and I had to get new pants as waist went down from 35inches to 31.5 inches. It's as though I have a different body! I shall continue 168 intermittent fasting and low carb diet as a lifestyle as it is easy to follow and sustainable. There is also the time savings and food expenses. Now my decision about whether to eat is simple: when outside the feeding window then don't eat and even if inside feeding window if not hungry then eating is optional. Thank you so much for your videos and you have changed many peoples' life's including mine.

I wish nursing instructors explained things this way! I’ve been a nurse for a while now but never really understood how insulin resistance happens. Thank you Dr. Fung! 🙏🏻

Dr Fung, thanks so much for such a nice, logical and easy to understand explanation of insulin resistance. This knowledge will help me decide how to best attack this problem.

This is absolutely the answer. In my life I have worked so hard to control my weight and to lose weight over and over. I was pushing and depriving my body over and over, only to watch the scale stall or watch my body actually gain weight. This process of reducing my blood glucose AND my insulin levels by time-restricted eating has unlocked my fat cells and they are now responding to all the exercise and good food choices. With opening and closing my feeding window each day as you describe, my body is now using the stored energy, and I am eating a delicious low-carb selection of foods that is highly satisfying. This is a workable and relaxed lifestyle that is also normalizing my weight. I am so thankful to find your research BEFORE I had Type 2 diabetes and before the additional weight caused other health problems associated with obesity. I can not stop explaining this process to others, and it is working for them as well, hoping this solves the crisis of obesity-related illness and helps many people to enjoy their lives free of disease. One only needs to study how obesity effects every process in the body to be motivated to make the changes necessary to maintain health. This process you have explained absolutely is the golden ticket. In my clinical time as a nursing student, I observed too many people who were dealing with serious illness that was lifestyle-related and curable. Treating symptoms and not providing solutions for the patients seemed to keep them on a never-ending hamster wheel. This protocol which you described, can push back the wave of people caught in chronic illness and release them. I have read all your books, I have bought your books for others, I will continue to share this important information everyday as my own experience illustrates that it works! Thank you for getting this information out in book form and for lecturing constantly to the medical community about this solution.

Some of the many benefits of fasting and low carb diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weght loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. It stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical precursor to BDNF is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Dear Dr. Fung, I wanted to thank you very much for giving me the courage to start intermittent fasting for life! I am following you since the beginning of August 2021 and watch your instructional and inspirational videos regularly. I am 5'10'' and, as of this morning, lost 40 lbs in 4 months. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! YOU DO DO DO REALLY HELP

Fantastic explanation by Dr. Fung. Makes perfect sense.

Thank you for doing these videos! Thank you so much! Your Mom must be so proud!!!!

Clear, and easily understood. An excellent explanation. Thank you.

I look forward to your videos every Sunday. Thank you so much, I am learning a lot. 😊

The doctor offers clear and understandable explanations for the various aspects of the problem at hand.

Dr. Fung life saver the way you scaffold the precious knowledge is pretty astounding.

Another powerfully informational video, Dr Fung. Thanks for bringing this subject to a clearer understanding.👍and Sharing!

Brilliant explaination, this was very easy to understand! Thank you.

Thank you for keeping us educated and well informed! These videos help me stay motivated . I've learned so much😊💓

Thank you doctor Jason, I really like the way you explained easy to understand. You're truly a blessed to everyone! Blessings.

Dr Jason Fung information are getting better and better... Keep listening... Thanksgiving!

Jason Fung, You are a MASTER in explaining thing in the best possible way. This is soo important to underdstand what ir is.

Dr fung you’re so special in my life . You given me second chance to live normal life

Thank you, Dr. Fung.

Thank you Dr.Fung! Been your follower and believer for 1year now.and many good things happend to my health.and everytime i need inspiration to get even better. I watch your Videos.it motivates me more! By supporting your good work.bought some 2 books from you. Im very happy.gobless you always Dr. Fung.

Very clear and important information! Thank you!

I wasn't sure if I was experiencing insulin resistance or not. Thanks for making clear the process and what it really is.

Best explanation ever. Thank you so much,I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 2 months ago, after watching your videos i got on a low carb high fat diet and lost 27 pounds. After about the 3rd day my symptoms went away. Been feeling great ever since. Love your videos

Just came by to say that I am reading The Diabetes Code, and so much stuff is starting to make sense. My doctor didn't explain ANY of this to me three months ago when he gave me my diagnosis over the phone, and it kinda makes me wanna scream. So I just wanted to say thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!

Thank you so much Doc Fung for explanation. Your the best!

Simple but effective explanation, Thanks so much.

Learning so much Dr. Fung. Thank you.

Was trying to find an answer to what exactly is the mechanism behind insulin resistance and finally found in this video that it is simply not known yet, thank you for clearing it up!

Thank you Dr. Fung. Invaluable education.👍💝☮🇺🇸

Love your videos, they're so educational on one of the most complicated and vexing pathologies because your explanations and analogies are so well thought out presented. Can you provide any insight into the situation where a person without obesity develops diabetes?

That's some mighty fine info. Thanks doc!

Thank you so much sir.... With intermittent fasting and omad my sugar levels are coming to 120 from 200. I couldn't be more happier... Even my fasting levels were high due to dawn phenomenon... But slowly they are coming to 100. Thanks a lot sir

Blessed Sunday "Daktari"Jason Fung.

Excellent Video. Very informative. I learned a great deal which no other Dr. hardly speaks about. Thanks Doc.

started fasting and lost 6 lbs already! Thank you Dr. Fung. im also encouraging my husband who is a type 2 diabetic to change his diet and fasting. I am hopeful.

Dr Fung is the best ! Greetings from Italy 🎀🎁🎄☃️🎅🎄🎁🎀

This is, by far, clearest, most understandable explanation of insulin resistance that I have found on the internet. Thank you, Dr. Jason. From the Philippines, we say, Mabuhay ka!

ALWAYS ON POINT!! TY DR. FUNG

Thank you dr fung for transforming lives of so many lives including mine and my family

This was such a helpful video. thank you so much for the explanations!

😂😹 I love that subway example. Very nice. Thanks a lot for your kindness and help to educate people about true health care 👍👍

Thank you for sharing. I'm such a fan of yours! Merry Christmas early! 🎄🎅🤶⛄

From the over storage of fat plugging the receptors to now ur theory about over flow of blood sugar, I hve concluded that it is a combination of both. I also believe that the most powerful reason of insulin resistance is the excessive amount of insulin released per meal bc in order to do its job it has to pour so much insulin to keep normal bs levels. So excess circulating insulin more fat storage in our organs creating malfunctioning of each! So I hve noticed that when I eat 30 carbs or less per meal I dont gain belly fat and start losing weight. So I think the key here is to avoid the pancreas in releasing an excess amount insulin to avoid accumulation of fat in the organ depot!

Today I learned about the second paradigm. My doctor always explained to me the first one. Thank you Dr Jason Fung.

Thanks doctor because of your amazing videos am seeing some changes ,soon I will reach my body goal

This was very informative. The illustration in my mind was an elevator in a tall building and all the buttons have been pushed. At first people can crowd together and hold their breath. But that becomes unfeasible as it stops at each floor and no one gets off.

Great video and explanations. Thank you!

Wow oh Thanks! youve explained this so I can understand much better. Before, I sort of got it, but your descriptions and diagrams helped to see it much clearer. Poor cells having to keep being pumped up and up with more and more glucose, cant go on indefinatly filling and filling with too much.

Dr. Jason, thanks for the information,

Thank you for another excellent video 👍🏻

This makes so much sense. Fortunately my Dr. believes in lifestyle change before meds and wants me to practice IF with a HFLC diet first. So far the results are good. I especially like the 18/6 protocol because it suits my schedule and disposition best. I’ve tried a few other types but this works for me. That being said, everyone has to figure out what works for them and their disposition/lifestyle.

You Deserve Nobel Prize : @Jason Fung

Another great video. Thank you!

Brilliant explanation!

Thank you for everything you do for us Doctor

Yes I learnt a lot. THANK YOU SO MUCH Doctor.

Many thanks Sir for saving my Life!

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing. God blessed.

Excellent explanation. Thank you.

Great and helpful video, thanks!

Never ever did I think that a simple 14hours fast (dinner till breakfast) and lowering my sugar intake would make such a difference. Lost the weight, lost the bellyfat and lost my sugar cravings. When doing some physical activities I always started to feel faint. Felt I had to eat something. Even took some food with me when I knew I would be away for a few hours. But not anymore. I feel so much better now.

Thank you Dr. Jason for your explanation of insulin resistance. The train.door opening metaphor got me..!

Another Awesome video Thanks Much Love ❤❤❤

Thanks Jason, you are the best💎🌷🙂

Thank you for the information 👍

Love u dr Jason fung. God bless u

Thank you for the lecture 🙏 ❤

Thank you. You give great advice. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪👍😁

Wow so so helpful and empowering of you Dr. Fung! Love and blessings to you and hour’s 🇨🇦💖👍🏼🙏🏼🤗🥩🍳🥚🍖🥳

Thank you Jason.

Best explanation on insulin resistance ever!

Thank you Dr Fung xxx

Thanks for this!❤

Thank you Dr Fung

As always, informative and enlightening, nice to see as well the analogy used in The Complete Guide to Fasting (which i read in two days). I also watch Dr Fung as one of my “system/success” to get through patches where I feel I’m going to break a fast and/or indulge in too many simple carbs. I would love to know more about the Insulin Index, is it useful and if so how so? I’ve tried to do some of my own research on it but I’m still not clear about it. Maybe a possible future video topic ;).

Some research has shown that nano droplets of saturated fats at the gateway of the insulin receptor can create a partially clogged receptor in turn creating cellular starvation as a ted talk once explained. This does go right along with that awesome explanation.

Hey Dr. Fung. Can you do videos more often please, would love if you could go into more detail aswell about other problems. I mean Dr Jamnadas is Great but he has got no account and no social media to reach out. You guys are the best docs so far and Robert Lustig too. It’s all good, but you 3 are my fave.

Thank you Doctor 😊 💓

Very nice information

In laymen's terms this is best explanation for insulin resistance, thank you.

Fantastic. Hats off

Wow!!! Amazing explanation! The subway analogy is excellent, Thanks Dr Fung,

Great and fruitful lecture ❤❤❤❤

Fantastic content ❤️❤️

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
