Why intermittent Fasting is a simple solution for weight loss. Body fat is simply a method of storing food energy. When we eat, our body wants to store those calories. When we don't eat (intermittent fasting), our body uses those calories. So, if we want to lose body fat, increase the duration of time that we are not eating.

    The primary reason diets are promoted imo comes down to the fact that when you diet, companies and gurus can make money off you. Fasting is FREE.
  • @annawarner1078
    I would like to recommend dr Fung for the Nobel Prize for popularization of effective methods to reduce/reverse obesity, diabetes and all other associated maladies (strokes, Alzheimer, high blood pressure etc).

    Fasting - good enough for Jesus, good enough for me.
  • @NLR759
    The thing I love most about fasting is that it frees up SO MUCH TIME during my day. When I fast, I am not spending any time shopping or cooking food. I can do other things to get out of the house or distract myself from thoughts about food. Unlike calorie counting, which essentially makes me obsessed with thoughts about food, meal planning, and looking up everything I eat on some app to figure out calories. Fasting is definitely the way to go!

    Jason is pharmacutical companies worst nightmare.
  • @laurielogan8987
    Thank you Dr. Fung, for actually promoting something that doesn't cost the consumer anything. It shows that you really do care about humanity!
  • @sanautin
    I find that with the money I save on my food budget through fasting, I can easily afford to buy the higher quality foods like organic grass fed / grass finished beef.
  • crazy story. my dad lost his drivers license 10 Or so years ago because of the diabetes and it wasn't safe for him to drive. he basically pulled a cartman. about 2 years ago at the age of 88 he had quit eating and his alzheimers was reaching a terrible point. we thought he was getting ready to die. this spring his doctor declared him cured of diabetes. he is 90 now so this week I discovered this lecture series and it answered some things we didn't understand. 1. 10 years ago he weighed 230lb, he now weighs under 180lb but he has zero sagging skin. 2. he cured his diabetes 3. his alzheimers is A typical. he still recognizes us all. he seems to remember the past the best but he can still carry on a conversation, and other things, 4. the last check on his heart disease found an unusually healthy heart. thanks for sharing this, I'm looking forward to greatly increasing his fat intake to see if we can bring him back a bit. I myself have started intermittent fast with a keto diet to fix my own diabetes.

    The biggest obstacle to fasting is that it requires discipline and willpower. Stopping eating is the same as stopping drinking alcohol or stopping smoking. Denying yourself of pleasure is hard. Overeating is a form of addiction.
  • The one thing I've learned about fasting is ...the more you eat, the more you eat. One meal a day is best for me. You make it to dinnr and you r full. Couple hours later u r asleep. Its over. Fill up on decaf hot tea during the day and before you know it's time to leave work
  • This man should have MILLIONS of subscribers. A low-cost effective way to lose weight which many humans can benefit from. I love this man!
  • Isn't it incredible how we can essentially break free from the unhealthy habits we have just by not eating? Amazing.
  • @Mickey-df9zy
    I'm 55 pounds over weight and it is all my fault. Lazy! Lazy! Lazy! Depression, life, over eatting, not doing the things that kept me in shape. But thank you for this information. I'm on it, fasting. 3, 5, 7 days? I need prayer and encouragement. Self wake up! 145 here I come! 200 to 145? Yes I can! 😊
  • @as-hj1et
    I was 92kg but now I'm currently at 67kg! Only fasting & exercising ☺️
  • @AlvinaRayne
    It definitely works, I lost 134 lbs with Keto and IF
  • Every one that wants to live longer and better quality of life should watch all of Jason's Video's. Priceless free information.
  • @kerryberi6058
    I listen to you almost everytime I'm fasting. pushes me through.
  • @cubstep1944
    Been doing a 16:8 for about 150 days now, lost 50 lbs. The crazy thing is I've been catching my legs bouncing around when I'm standing still, because my metabolism is ramped up for the first time in my life. Feels amazing
