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 😂

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🇲🇾

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...

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.

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 lost 13lbs in 2 weeks doing intermittent fasting 16:8 and eating 800 calories a day. I sleep better, more energy, stomach issues improved 90%. I’ve got 40lbs more to go, and will be looking at shaking up my fasting days with 19:4. Ensuring I get good protein, fibre, and fats is key!

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 guy is a rock ✨ star. He uses real science, not industry manipulated 'science', so he's getting real results❣️ Love his work.

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

Dr. Fung has literally changed my life. I read “The Obesity Code” years ago and never looked back. It’s a MUST READ for anyone trying to improve their health by eating more intelligently.

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. ❤

It’s been 7 years since I adopted an IF lifestyle, and I’ll never look back. 🙌

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!!!

I just completed a 72 hour water fast and I’m so excited. The results from the three days is amazing and intermittent fasting will be a part of my lifestyle from here on out.
