The ubiquity of fad diets is a staple of modern society. As is the inevitable realisation regarding their ineffectiveness. An unfortunate consequence of this cycle is that scientifically supported diets, such as intermittent fasting, are often discarded as yet another fad. To distil the essence of intermittent fasting, BizNews spoke to Dr Jason Fung, a Toronto-based nephrologist and a world-leading expert in intermittent fasting and low-carb diets. Dr Fung, often called the founder of intermittent fasting, explained the science behind it, the ‘why’ and ‘how’ it works, in a manner accessible to the layman.
Dr Fung is the doctor who knows more about fasting and his patients who do his way are the evidence. Dr Fung has helped change my life. Thanku Dr Fung xox
He's right. I'm battling bulimia nervosa after getting into a toxic cycle of fasting, binging later developed purging and other coping mechanism due to excesive stress and shame
Am I going to weigh out every ounce of food and put them in in little tiny compartmentalized containers for the rest of my life? Probably not.
I just started doing OMAD after trying 14, 16, 18, 20 IF. Seriously Wanted to take out extra fats through OMAD within a month or 3. In just 4 days now I feel the difference im not stressed at all but at the end of working hours I do still go for walking an hour every night.
It’s funny how ridiculous Americans are thinking that eating three times a day is normal, most cultures even my mom when she was a child they were eating once a day and everything was fine
OMAD is the best diet and it is sustainable …… I have been doing it and it superbly healthy…… Dr Fung hits the nail on its head with the point he made that was perfect
omad doesnt stress me, this robin does
Eating 3 meals a day was fine when you were a kid, but as we age we use less and less calories and start turning our food to fat. Eating less as we age only makes sense.
I hab ibs and OMAD helped me greatly.. and yes…I came upon a video from Dr. Fung
Doctor insecure after hes hit the gene lottery cant imagine two things. First, those of us with greedy fat cells will never metabolize like him – and two, as a doctor he should no that all hormone levels change. A sesson of fasting is natural as is a season of over eating. Its only been a 100 years since we can all eat similar food year round
It's weird that the 'personal trainer' has concerns about an eating disorder where people eat only 1 meal per day while the fitness industry seems to have no issues to promote constant eating every 2-4 hours e.g. for bodybuilders. But there he seems to have no issues when people constantly eat🤔🤷🏼♀️ Makes no sense…
Starting my OMAD tomorrow and i’m scared i won’t stay consistent but i’ll try it out. Wish me luck guys😭🫶🏽
Doesn't make sense why they are so focused on the sustainability of fasting…..
No
This fixed my bing eating disorder. So not ad for all people who have eating disorders
I only do have one life, and I live once so why limit myself especially on food. There's so many delicious food in the world we should all be grateful. Even we take care of our body we still gonna die I'd rather eat whatever I want than trying those things and still die. It doesn't make any sense.💯👍
Dr. Fung all the way. Neither of the other two have data backing up their speculations.
The Dr's are too mainstream and set in there old ways…Dr Fung has probably helped cure 10× more people than these Dr's have.
These networks are owned by big pharm….fasting not in there best interest.
Remember guys doctors and the health care industry doesn’t make off of people fasting and cutting sugar…they make money of off you using drugs and staying sick …also eating disorders are a mental health issue not a metabolic one
Seems like this diet is great only for unhealthy obese people. In Japan these things are not needed. Just a healthy diet is enough.
My name is Patricia Walter I have type2 Dieabete I want to reverse my Dieabete I need to come off these medications they are making me so sick I live in New Yorkhow can I get to join your program
Unfortunately intermittent fasting is a failure for me……due to gas or something I don't know my belly is growing big…. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
My father is 68 and very, very significantly overweight, to the point of physical impairment. He has type 2 diabetes, and has just come back from hospital where he had to go on drainage due to infection and fluid build up internally and also suspected appendicitis. He would benefit immensely from intermittent fasting, but I just can't convince him. And whenever I rasie the topic no matter how politely he and his wife get angry or bitter at me. It's so sad to have to watch someone drift away when there are things they could do. His doctor has now put him on insulin injections and a permanent blood sugar monitor.
WOW, Dr. Jason Fung, a super star! Thanks for the interview
My daughter has PCOS which I understand relates to insulin resistance. She has been doing intermittent fasting 18/6 for 4 weeks now and hasn’t noticed any difference in her weight. Does she just need to wait longer? She’s only a teenager ..19~ life just isn’t fair! Thanks for your advice
Afaik, the body will eventually reduce the BMR just as a result of being lighter. It doesn't matter by what mechanism you achieve that lighter weight.
Sorry she is a weak interviewer, she has not read enough and her questions are NOT informed this is not a good interview!
FABRY DISEASE,CAN LONG FASTING HELP…. listening from India.
Diabetes treatment was criminal and still is criminal. Drug companies, food industry and medical fraternity, in conspiracy against humanity, have promoted diabetes treatment without taking the root cause into consideration of the disease. .I was one of the victim and I know personally a few victim, personally who died with suffering. I have rescue myself, Start with not to trusting the whole system, I looked for books, which can give me a guide. And I found it and cured myself; guess what Doctors tolled me; you did not have diabetes, they could not except, that diabetes can be cured with the diet. I waste a few years during finding my way out, so during the years bad treatment, means neglect, I developed peripheral neuropathy that I am still suffering!

Fan of Fung.
Diagnosed with 60% renal function after 5 UTI in 7 months. Same antibiotics prescribed for each UTI and it chronically returns. Spikes BP strikes kidneys. My sugar level is OK, local Nephrologist said lower salt, sodium, protein. Did not suggest fasting. How do I increase renal function?
He is a great Dr. Love everything he talks about and it works. Thank you.
Thank you for this excellent and short interview 🙂
Thank you for this interview with Dr. Fung! I discovered his videos about a year and a half ago and they changed my life. I've lost over 150 lbs., I'm off my blood pressure meds, my osteoarthritis pain is so much better and my asthma is gone. His book The Obesity Code is an excellent explanation about why we get fat and how the language of the body is hormones, not calories. I learned how to fast and was able to lose weight and not feel deprived and hungry. Thank you Dr Fung for all you do 😊🙏
Can I fast for 48 hours for the rest of my life? Do this consistently? Any thoughts
Excellent interview, Nadya. It deserves to be shared over and over again. Thank you Dr Fung remains a favourite source of information on diet and nutrition.
Thank you for finding all these interesting and informative specialists.
