This is my dad's cardiologist!!!! He's an amazing doctor and has kept my father alive. Wonderful video and true doctor, wants to help people not just the money.

I love this man! I have followed him the last 2 years. He’s my dad’s cardiologist. He has changed my life. I went down from 150 to 119 lbs in 6- 9 months & sitting on 119 with ease..fasting and giving up junk and snacks! Now, I typically eat 2 healthy meals a day sometimes one! I generally fast 18 +hours M-F. I do occasionally 24 fasts. Also, I am 5 ft 3. Haven’t felt this good since I was in my 20s! This man needs to be protected and promoted 🎉

[JimmyWontStop]

I have been omad fasting since January. I'm down 125lbs cured my type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. I've never felt better and I look way younger.

[cayjuni]

26 years old, Obese for majority of my life. Decided last year (May 2023) to get a personal trainer. Did the calorie restriction diet/lifestyle adjustment and lost 3st in one year but started to plateau. Came across a piece of short form content about Dr. J and extended fasting. I Did my research (Dorian Wilson’s YT channel) and did a 3 Day water fast.

I’ve lost a stone in the space of a week.

My energy levels are through the roof, 0 cravings for chocolate and sweets, I feel positive about everything and have a general sense of gratefulness for life.

Fasting is the truth!

[miguelv]

40 year old male, obese for 15 years. After a couple failed diets and exercise-heavy attempts to lose weight, I tried fasting. I’ve been doing two 36-hour fasts per week since March 2021.Mostly plant-based and time-restricted eating rest of each week (20:4). Parents and extended family thought I was crazy and would kill myself. Dropped from 235 to 170 lbs in 5 months, reversed pre-diabetes, normalized blood pressure, went from 38 waist to 30, and XXL shirts to M. I look and feel at least a decade younger, and now buy clothes because they look good and not because they’re just the only thing that fits. Went shirtless at the beach and pool for the first time since I was a teenager. Fasting completely changed and saved my life, and I will do this for as long as I live. Thank you, Drs. Jamnadas and Fung for sharing this ancient yet somehow controversial wisdom!

Update December 2021: now that I’ve hit my target weight range, I’ve been able to maintain my weight loss and energy by fasting just once a week for 36 hours. All other days I fast 16-20 hours on average, except on weekends when I eat breakfast. This feels very easy and sustainable now! My diet is mostly comprised of fat and protein (nuts, eggs, cheese, avocados, greens, fish, seafood). I generally avoid processed foods and stay away from sugar. Haven’t had rice, bread, potato for months, and I don’t miss them. Other foods in moderation such as beans, berries, bananas, corn, coconut. I exercise very moderately during the week - walks, bike rides, a swim or jog. But I consider exercise part of my cardiovascular health plan, not weight loss tool. It is all about the diet. Have faith my friends! The initial weight loss will challenge you, but I’ve learned that keeping the weight off is much easier than I expected, as long as you are willing to let go of some long-standing food habits. There are many keto-friendly foods available now which will help you develop a very satisfying diet for your future.

“There isn’t financial gain from fasting / no industry will support it / they lose money !” So true..

[Crochedandconspiracies]

I’m a nurse, and it’s actually frightening how much we’ve been mislead.
This makes so much sense.

[FastTracktoFitness]

I’ve been fasting since January 2024 and I’ve lost 63lbs I started fasting because I listened to this video. It’s the only thing that’s ever worked for me.

[allennelson]

I have ended a 96 hour 4 day fast tonight. I feel good about it. After a year of alternative fasting, I have lost more than 100 pounds. I look younger and I feel younger. I am 73 years old and I feel humble and hopeful.

[katttthy]

I started fasting to fix my body and after 6 months of intermittent and extended fasting I was able to lose 30 lbs but more importantly i got pregnant. I was infertile for 5 yrs prior. I truly believe in fasting.

[chapter]

I have listened to hundreds if not thousands of hours of health videos. If you are listening to this consider yourself lucky because this guy is about as good as it gets.

[andretaylor]

I'm a diabetic, I started fasting 2wks ago, my GL dropped to as low as 3.8. Fasting works, currently doing a 50hr fasting. I'm determined to reverse my diabetes.

[theprofessional]

58 year old male. Over 300 pounds past 25 years. Intermittent fasting and shunning of sugar past 18 months....169 pounds this morning.

[lcsask]

I’m currently on day 15 of water only fasting, i feel great! My worse day was day 3 and after that i don’t feel hungry anymore. My skin is healthy, glowing and smooth, i lost about 20lbs already, my hair is beautiful, the hardest part is starting and once u feel how I’m feeling you won’t want to stop, I’m doing it for religious beliefs though, i fast and pray and see prayers being answered before my eyes.

[JimmyGray]

Second time watching. Priceless wisdom. Ive been doctor for 23 years plus. Still learning like a child. Amen.

[briansfastss]

This man changed my life. I started with 16/8 and worked my way up to one meal a day. I’ve lost 18 lbs so far and feel so much better. Bless this man.

[ChaGarcia]

I was told I could never get pregnant again in 2014. I accepted it and moved on. Then I did a 6 week water fast for my renewal wedding in April 2017 and lost 45 lbs—I went from a size 14 to a size 9. I maintained by eating more greens, limiting my carbs, and fasting 24 hours once a week. In Feb of 2018 I found out I was pregnant. A year later, my old friend told me how her doctor told her she could never get pregnant after years of trying. I told her my story. She did hybrid water/juice fasting for 2 months and she found out she was pregnant 2 months after her fast ended. This guy is the TRUTH. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[d.b.t.]

"You got to take things into your own hands because nobody's gonna do it except you!"
Amen.

[unavailablename]

I've learned not to tell people that I fast. They don't understand. Fasting is lumped in with starvation.
I just say I'm not hungry.

[tshepochoshi]

I could listen to this man the whole day.

This is wisdom from God.
