Is a calorie for me the same as a calorie for you? I don't mean that in the literal sense - a calorie is a calorie just as much as a meter is a meter. What I mean by that question is, if we both ate the same exact cut of steak - would my body absorb the same amount of calories as yours?

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover info atkins diet try Voneyton Uncontrollable Progression (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.

@@zelllers your question makes perfect sense to me. Just like no medicine or workout plan will give anyone the exact same results because all of our bodies react different, then how could a calorie be the exact same for every person 😕

​🎉³33😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

No, as one Chinese Taoist Master said, "You know why they call it fast food? Because it takes you to the grave fast." 😂😆

@Saša Šijak after reading your post twice, i am still clueless.

I am currently taking 5mg-10mg glipizide + 2000 mg metfomin per day of glipizide eating OMAD. To help me with my weight loss, should I just disregard glipizide and continue to intake metformin? I just started keto / IF a week ago but I'm worried about high sugars w/o glipizide.

@@Thelocalavenue Eat natural, unprocessed carbohydrates with their fiber, not boxed food in the grocery store that needs to stay on shelf for years. Procesed foods are fattening. Stay away from factory foods.

@Saša Šijak Jason Fung says carbohydrates are not exactly equivalent to high insulin. For example, "There is clearly something else going on here. While the total carbohydrate intake was very high, the intake of sugar was very low compared to the rest of the world. There seems to be something specific to sugar that may be much more obesogenic than other carbohydrates." - thefastingmethod.com/carbohydrate-insulin-hypothesis-wrong-hormonal-obesity-vi/

Makes you fat, fast 😉

Lmao, actually true for me. 🤣

That is brilliant analogy.

I advise you to read the book, which is also called, but the author is another Christophe Lefebvre. It says how to lose weight, and at the same time you do NOT need to follow any diets and exhaust yourself in the gym.

It takes a lot of food/substanence consumption to kill it but people are persinstent :D

Thanks!

💯💯💯

Can you share exactly what you have done? Awesome job by the way!!

@@deirdremorris9234 Thanks Deirdre! I started by giving up ALL refined carbs and sugars. And increased my natural fats like nuts, avacados, butter, full fat cheeses, meats, eggs, I use heavy cream in my coffee etc. I started feeling better in a few days! Then after a couple of weeks of becoming "fat adapted" ( when your body learns to use fat for energy), I started skipping breakfast. No problem 👍. Then skipped lunch and went to one meal a day (OMAD). It wasn't a problem because when I wasn't eating, my body was using my own stored fat (body fat) to feed itself for energy. The weight just fell off. Turns out, our body fat is very nutritious and has everything thing we need. It's what our bodies are designed to do. Use up stored food when you don't eat! Perfect! Then I was feeling so good that I upped it to eating once a day for four days, then skipped the fifth day entirely (a 48hr fast). I felt great! No problem. It's been the easiest weight loss for me ever. I get how it works now and it's amazing. So now I'm still eating OMAD. When I eat, I eat well. I usually start with a handful of healthy nuts, then a mug of my homemade soup or a salad with homemade dressing, then meat with steamed veggies with butter, a square of good cheese, maybe a bit of kimchi or sour kraut etc. and I eat until I'm full, not stuffed. Last year I did my first and only so far, three day fast b for Easter and broke my fast with our Easter meal. I'm going to do it again this year and every year from now on. Fasting is so good for us! Please read Dr. Fung's book The Obesity Code. It changed my life and he explains everything so well. I remember thinking "No wonder!". Also watch his interviews and lectures on KZfaq. It's a wealth of information. Thanks again and be well! 🙏😊

Wow!! Congratulations and great job! 🙌🏾

I’m in the same boat that’s awesome . Please share

@@josephinecioffi33 Hi! Please read his book The Obesity Code. It explains so much as to why all the other diets I tried throughout my life failed. It just makes so much sense. I remember thinking "No wonder!!" He also has lectures and interviews on KZfaq if you search his name and The Obesity Code. I was recently asked to share my story on The Magic of Fasting KZfaq channel. Check it out?!😃👍 If I can do this, so can you! I was addicted to sugar and junk food. Now I never crave or want them at all. They are so terrible for us. I pray you will find total wellness too! Thanks and be well 🙏😊

That's cool Akash. Are you still on the n=1 journey?

I hope the doctors here in Australia are willing to change and learn from Dr Fung he a game changer in the medical field of diabetes and he learned from his patients that it wasn't working and you keep hitting the brick wall. He was willing to learn why is wasn't working & turning 180 degrees and change began. Enclosing you were inspired by this Dr and his simple approach across the board from Doctors to patients.

Jj who told you missing breakfast was bad?

@@mudieg at the time of the rise of the breakfast cereals

@@Jj-gi2uv you seem to be talking about trans fat. I'm not sure what that has to do with breakfast. Sugared cereal is an issue.

Thats incredible!Good work!!

Fantastic

Youre amazing. Wow

Low carb is a fraud

Watermelon Man why do you say that?

Your lucky, my family thinks I’m crazy. Hard to change their minds even though I’m the only one capable of losing weight 30+lbs of weight in like 2 months.

I soooo agree!

Thats not reality...it was your reality. Fix yourself. You ALREADY know the WHY!!

Mai Nguyen I bet the people disliking these videos that Dr. Fung is making are in the industries that will lose money if we listen and put into practice the lessons that Dr. Fung is giving us.

Might be some one can make money from patients.

@pleiades *YOU DON"T NEED THEM. YOU ONLY NEED YOUR COMMON SENSE*

m18 r18 no it's not common sense you need, it's knowledge.

As long as you keep track of your vitamins and minerals, and as long as you get tested for any common genetic complications (Hashimoto's, Kushing's, etc..), yeah, there's enough GOOD information today to make most nutritionists superfluous. You should have a trainer for TRAINING techniques. In free weight training, you can seriously, permanently hurt yourself with bad technique, so just be careful on that end. Best of luck!

I was thinking the same thing. They can track whales and sharks, why not clouded leopards.

Marly Which form of intermittent fasting did / do you use? I’m mean x hours per day or not eating at all on certain days? Thx

How do you maintain your normal weight? By maintaining a high fat diet?is there a prescribed timeline when we stop high fat diet? Is this now the standard diet where we should follow ?

EL there a few different protocols for maintaining weight. Many people do keep a high fat low carb diet because of other benefits. Other people propose eat "normal" but keep intermittent fasting, either 8/16 or one or two days per week.

@@el3196 Your brain is fat. Reduce too much fat you get Alhiemers and fat is needed for hormone development.

Roberta L. Jones when you are off med, do u keep sugar and carbs out of your diet or do u eat normal?

Zooryas have you had any success yet?

I'm the same, it's partly a mind game, not just a #s game

@@mharrison1325 Dear Mike I started trying intermittent fasting since August 2020 and I did too much too soon. I started with 18:6 in the beginning without properly acclimatising my body to the routine. I couldn’t keep up with that, the new sensations my body was going through. Although after a month I had to quit fasting as I was going through a medical treatment. I picked up IF again in 2021 but this time I started with 12 hours fast and then progressed to 16 and now I am at 18 hours fast. I have lost only 4 kilograms since then but I am patient. I feel so much better that I don’t have much cravings now and feel less bloated. Now I do not think about food all the time and surprisingly I have better energy levels. I feel I have finally found something that I can actually stick with and I hope weight loss and better health will follow if i continue.

How have you been doing lately? I see that you answered someone 5 months ago. I can tell you what works well for me. I try to do 16 hours, 18 hours fasting each day. When I'm hungry I have a fairly big meal but it's a healthy one. I have half of an avocado sliced up cut into cubes with lemon juice and salt. I have two eggs, cooked in butter and I saute some vegetables in butter. Usually 3 to 4 oz of cherry tomatoes and some spinach but really anything that you like. I add about an ounce of cheese to the omelet or to the scrambled eggs, I serve them with the buttery delicious tomatoes and spinach. Picture a plate with an omelet and tomatoes and spinach on top of it with a little bit of grated Parmesan on top. The half avocado in a small bowl with lemon and salt and I bake almond flour and seed crackers. They scratch the itch for bread, with almost no carbs. This meal comes to about 800 calories and 2/3 of those calories come from fat. It's about 7/8 of an ounce of butter, an ounce of cheese, two eggs, 4 oz of tomatoes and an ounce of spinach. I have two or three tablespoons of heavy cream in my coffee and with the coffee it comes to just about a thousand calories. That's my big meal. I don't feel like eating for hours after that. If I really want something sweet I have some Godiva dark chocolate, the mini bars. They are smooth and creamy and they don't taste like they're dark chocolate, they're not bitter. They satisfy the need or desire for something sweet with my coffee. I don't have them everyday, but I do sometimes. When I'm cooking for others and I need to make a dessert I'll make a dark chocolate mousse or creme brulee since they have minimal sugar and lots of fat. Of course they are calorically dense so I don't have it often but when I do I don't feel guilty about it and I enjoy it. When I have a second meal it's usually smaller. 3 or 4 oz of wild caught salmon and some green beans that I roast in the oven with balsamic vinegar and olive oil until they're just about to be crisp. They taste really good that way. Or brussel sprouts done the same way, olive oil and balsamic vinegar or olive oil and salt with a scant tablespoon of maple syrup on the whole amount of it at the end so you get about a quarter tablespoon of maple syrup per serving. Or 3 oz of steak, or if I didn't have eggs that day, I'll have eggs. It's important to get pasture raised eggs, not conventional eggs. The pasture raised eggs have more omega-3, more vitamin A and vitamin D. And they are cruelty free which is also important. I am just about to go under 200 lb for the first time in, 20 years? 25 years? And I feel better than I have in a very long time. I don't feel like I'm starving or hungry or like I'm deprived. Please update on your progress, I hope you have been doing well and are feeling better.

@@zooryas That's really affirms my decision to start a 12 hour fast for a month, then move to 16/8. I've been on steroids since 14 for severe asthma (now an old fart), so my hormones are all messed up. I've lost 12 ILBs in 2 weeks, but part of that is water. I know it will level as it progresses, a marathon not a sprint as they say.

Robert Nelson lol yeah it is a prop. Just like all those interviews with doctors.

IT’S A FASHION STATEMENT !! HA HA !!!

He loves you!

Yes. He loves you and wants you to get things under control now. It’s so much more difficult the older you get. Ugh. I hate saying that, but it’s so true. If I could only go back...

Lucky to hear about this at 17.

Morticia147 try dr furhman, eat to live.

How's it going a year later?

Good luck. Just stick to dr. Fung. There is so much info out there. Different drs saying different things. Some agree with Fung. Some just confuse you. Dr. Fung started all this. Stick with the Master. Don’t get confused or misled.

Hubert Humphrey is primarily responsible for the idea that it is healthier to eat carbs (grains) instead of fat. Oh, Hubert Humphrey was a South Dakota native and Senator from Minnesota -- where they grow lots of wheat and corn.

Pictures and movies? So do you see fat people in the movies today? Same is with pictures, people always had standards, doesnt mean everybody was fitting them, it just means that whoever fit the standard got to be popular. In any case, as someone who was born in the 80s and in a communist country, I can tell you we had 0 fast food restaurants back then, a bottle of Coca Cola was how people celebrated Christmas if they were lucky to find one that year. Even earlier on, the population of Europe at least was recovering after world wars. Today, all guilty pleasures are at arm's length and when you buy a box of chocolates you don't look at the money anymore, as they are ridiculously cheap, but at the price you pay by the weight you gain.

I'm 61 years old and my first hand knowledge is everyone is a lot heavier than I was when I was young, especially the last 15 years. It's too much starch, liquid oil, salt, sugar and various combinations such as protein/sugar that creates hunger in store bought foods. Almost all salad dressings have sugar. It's unreal.

So true.

@pleiades Freudian slip?😊

Look up Partake IPA or other non alcoholic craft beer! I quit drinking years ago but miss my beer. Thankfully craft NA beer came along, 10 calories and no hangover or beer gut!

how are you doing now?

Lol, good to know.

Maker Mark, my thoughts exactly!! Never mind, I don't begrudge the proceeds from the book going to him, he deserves that for his hard work plus it is a small price to pay to become educated 🙂

i read the book and i follow up with the video or vice versa, nothing like a book to refer to and i tend to always find more info in the book, so money not wasted ..Love a good read!

I'm still buying the book.
