When I can’t sleep because of fasting I read the Bible or any book and clean my house that works for me always

[stevenmark]

Thank you Jason. Two years ago when I was diagnosed with t2 diabetes my A1C number was 6.8. Following your fasting advise and eating much healthier I've dropped a little over 40lbs and my recent A1C number is 5.5. Thank you🙏

I remember the acid reflux thing from a Japanese study, showing that the reason of the acid goes back up, is because the sphincter from the esophagus into the stomach doesn't close. It doesn't close because the pH of the stomach is too high, so the liver just keeps dumping bile. The reason lemon juice and vinegar work so well, is because it quickly drops the pH of your stomach, and that sphincter closes. Problem solved.

Yeah, after 41 hours I finally got my glucose down to 149 and it wouldn't budge. I cleaned up my diet, eating very little carbs and my sugar is still very high. I've been doing this since 1/28/24. All my other labs have been much improved and have lost 14 pounds.

[katydai]

I can't thank you enough for teaching me about IF...I have lost 50 lbs in 8 months and have reversed my diabetes!!!

[davefordham]

This man's advice on various fasting regimes and how to deal with the variety of issues that different people encounter when fasting I would say is probably the best I've seen or read. Jason will give you the information without the hype. I, for one, abhor all kinds of hype where things are accentuated or overly emphasised for effect. It was in fact Jason that introduced me to fasting.

You see, we grow up thinking food is essential, which it is, but you would hear very few say that the body can function just as well, if not better, if you leave it to burn the fat you've stored. We tend to think that without food the body would be deprived of vitamins, minerals and all the essentials. That is true if you haven't any stored fat i.e. you're not obese or overweight. But if you are obese or overweight, it means you have plenty and you can therefore fast for many days without the worry that you're going to die. The body is a wonderful machine, it is a miraculous piece of engineering that can feed itself and heal itself. Even though we often throw so much abuse at it (mostly through eating too much of sugar based stuff), it gives us plenty of opportunity to repent and reverse the damage. Fasting is a wonderful way to do that. Unless you're on some sort of serious medical regimen where food is essential (can't think of one right now), fasting is by far THE BEST and FASTEST way to lose weight and achieve a healthy body.

I've been fasting for over 2 years now, and noticed constipation/diarrhea (for me) is usually an indicator that my fiber intake was too low. Ever since I paid more attention to adding plenty of fiber to my meals, my digestion issues are completely resolved.

[SandraCarterAtHomeNC]

I sleep really well when I fast!! It's the best thing about fasting. I have severe insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and every morning around 7 a.m. my blood sugar shoots to almost 300 whether I have been fasting for 10 hours or 36 hours. I like Dr. Fung's explanation of why this happens. I've got a ways to go still but I'm down 30+ pounds and using 70% LESS insulin injections now. I love doctors like Jason and Ben Bikman. I wish they were around 15-20 years ago!

[JohnsonNestorFamily]

Yep! I remember having some of those problems. It's so true that your body adjusts! Thanks Dr. Fung for all you do 😊👍

[marygarrett]

Some may want/need to watch more of his videos before you fast. It all depends on how strict you want to be on a fast. I still have my one cup of morning coffee when fasting. I don’t get all crazy about it. That’s just me though and yes, I’ve lost weight

[MarkWilson-ijjd]

The best adjustment that I made was instead of adding salt and potassium to my water, I just take a 3/4 teaspoon of pink salt in the morning and/or evening. I found that the chalky taste of water after three days would make any further fasting a big challenge. By taking the salt directly, I can continue drinking fresh water all day without the hesitation to stay hydrated. I can do five day fasts without batting an eye. I dropped 30lbs in five weeks at the end of last year. I've just initiated a four week regiment. I should drop another 20 or so before the end of March. I plan to be under 200lbs by June, and well on my way.

The salt definitely helps the headaches. And for me it works instantly- the headache goes away in 5 min after I add a Hymalayan salt to my water. Thank you, Dr.Fung!

[bernimiranda]

Ever since I started Fasting I Can Sleep 7 hours . 🤗 And I'm loosing weight I feel health for once in my life .

[epicsdrummer]

My road to insulin resistance recovery has been long and winding with many twists and turns. A big breakthrough has been castor oil packs over the liver. The skin problems that I experienced for decades that included inflamed skin and weeping eczema were explained by toxic fatty liver. When I was younger I worked with toxic chemicals for ten years. At the same time I was a sugarholic. It seems probable that fasting caused too rapid a release of toxins. I now wear castor oil packs most of the time and have limited fasting for the interim. Literally within days sores on my scalp and face that I have had for decades completely cleared up.

I'm going into 3 months of IF. Wow I'm addicted!!!!. Results are amazing. Hydration is key, lots of water. This week I'm going no meat, little fish, loads of veggies for my feeding window. I'm not use to feeling my bones on my knees, shoulders, hips, which means I'm on the right page, fasting is working wonders. Can't wait to do over my labs...thank you Dr. Fung

[debbiesharp]

Very helpful. I didn’t attribute my insomnia and feeling wide awake and energized to fasting. Good to know.

[bobo-sikw]

I have been doing intermittent fasting for over a year, the least is 16 hours, but I will do 17, 18 and 19 hours, no issues as mentioned. I did my annual checkup with the lab taking blood today, and the nurse asked if I fasted, I said yes, she said how long, I replied 19 hours, she then said why so long, dont you get headaches. I told her it is healthy to fast, she thinks it is crazy fasting.

[martelvonc]

Yes, acid stomach has been my main complaint during IF. It's good to know I'm not crazy.

[logaandm]

I've had the follow issues and this is what I think is the root cause and a solution.

1. Headaches, especially in the first two days. I think this is lack of fasting practice and being hooked on sugar. I think my metabolism is not use to fasting and so doesn't properly get stored glucose into my body. Solution: Obviously, get added sugar out of your diet first. This takes about eight weeks. Next: work your way up to fasting more than 24 hours. With practice these issues go away or are greatly reduced. I almost never have fasting headaches any more or even hunger that lasts more than 30 minutes.

2. Low blood pressure when on BP meds. After 2-3 days of fasting my BP meds can drop my BP lower, quicker than usual because I am taking them on an empty stomach and my body is not use to having low (i.e. closer to normal!) BP. My heart rate also goes up, which makes me anxious. Solution: just take it easy the first couple of hours after you take your BP meds. At some point, you have to stop taking them I suppose. YEH!

3. Start to get weak and dizzy after 4-5 days of fasting. I think this is due to Insulin Resistance. My BG is lower than my "normal" 12 hour fasting level, but still plenty high enough for a healthy body. But because of Insulin Resistance my body isn't taking the glucose up any more. Solution: I haven't found one yet. I am concerned about pushing past this weakness without a doctor monitoring me. I am hoping that repeating 4 day fasts I will slowly get rid of my insulin resistance and then I can try fasting more than 5 days. It is a bit of a goal for me, not for any health reasons, but having a fasting BG below 70 and being able to fast more than 5 days is a sign that my metabolism and insulin resistance is back to a healthy range.



If I'm full of BS, please correct me Dr. Fung. Following your advise is literally saving my life.
