--------------------------------------Key Takeaways----------------------------------

0:00 Intro
2:17 History of Fasting: Fasting has been done since the dawn of humanity. Religions prescribe periods of fasting. Ancient Greeks did it for mental clarity. In the last 50 years there has been a strong move against fasting.
3:06 Nothing Wrong with Fasting: Dr. Fung investigated fasting and found that fasting had a great many benefits. Periodic fasting allows your body to burn off fat. Dr. Fung uses it with all of his overweight patients. Blood sugar medications need to be monitored closely once implementing fasting, or blood sugar could go too low.05:25 Hypoglycemia: If you are taking blood sugar meds, you may become hypoglycemic.
9:42 Muscle Loss and Fasting: Starvation mode and muscle loss are two of the many myths. Hypoglycemia is not a big concern unless you are taking blood sugar meds. As you fast, you will consume glycogen.
16:53 Hormones of Fasting: Fasting increases growth hormone. It increases noradrenaline. These are counter regulatory hormones, which counter the effect of insulin. Insulin lowers blood glucose.
22:04 Three Day a Week Fast: Dr. Fung does 24 hour fasts.
26:32 Anti-Aging Benefits: Skin is protein, so skin may alter with intermittent fasting. During the process of fasting, you get rid of old cells as part of renovation.
28:44 Autophagy: mTOR is a major regulator of autophagy. Protein turns off autophagy. mTOR is a nutrient sensor, sensing protein.
33:37 Salt and Fasting: One reason why Dr. Fung’s patients use bone broth during a fast is for salt intake.
35:49 Kidney Function:
37:07 Hormone Impacts: The main hormone affected by fasting is insulin.
42:17 Cortisol and Fasting: Cortisol does rise with fasting. It is part of the counter regulatory hormones.
43:14 Noradrenaline & Fasting
48:09 Calories: Calories have nothing to do with weight loss. Fasting is about changing your hormones.
49:50 Nutrient Changes in the 1950s: There was little obesity. People ate cookies, white bread and ice cream. You ate within a 10 hour window.
54:51 Bullet Proof Coffee/Fat Fasting: Many of the benefits of fasting come from reducing insulin. Pure fat has almost no insulin effect.
56:26 Ketogenic Diet: Intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet are along the same spectrum, close cousins. The ultra-low carb ketogenic diet lowers insulin. Low carb diet delivers 71% of the insulin lowering of fasting.
1:00:39 Dr. Fung’s Morning Routine:
1:03:45 Dr. Fung’s Favorite Nutrient:
1:07:54 Dr. Fung’s Elevator Pitch: We need to teach people about the therapeutic value of fasting. It has the potential to change the entire health system of the world. Most of what we do is treat diabetes, high blood pressure and all of the downstream issues. All of this can be taken care of for free. We need to spread the knowledge of how to do it.

*Changed my life. I will never eat the same ever again. "Unless you physically trip and your face lands in a box **weightlose.fitness** of donuts, there is no such thing as a 'slip'." Get that mind set and you'll win again and again.*

My first fast lasted 15 days. My second fast lasted 20 days. My 3rd fast lasted 40 days.
Most of my ailments were resolved.
I did hospital visits before and after, and my readings changed significantly for the better.
I stopped needing my inhalers. My osteoarthritis pains stopped. My inflammatory readings went from 1200 to 5! Two of my doctors discharged me. Fasting works

I fast every day and eat a small meal at 6pm and most days I eat when I am hungry.but only a small meal when I eat. idrink coffee only in the morning and water the rest of the day. I am nearly 80 yrs. old and I feel great every day! no treats between my one meal.

Dr Fung cracks me up, "if you're obese you don't need any more nutrients" 57:30. 😂 Good point, nicely said.

I started intermittent fasting June 2016. It was easy...I lost 22 pounds in 19 days and went on to lose all of my weight which was 34 pounds by July 15. I now eat this way everyday. I have a window of5 hours where I eat. I eat clean and I DO NOT EAT SUGAR. I am 60 years old and people think I am 45. Eating this way has so many positive changes: Digestive, energy, hair, muscle, is undeniable.

Dr. Fung is a genius! He saved my life...and I'm sure millions of others too! He deserves a Nobel prize!

I used to say, eating three meals a day is too time consuming and costly. I was on to something and didn’t realize it😊

I want to be Dr Fung's best friend. This guy is awesome

I’m on my 6th day of water fasting. I’m very obese and was in the danger zone for type 2 and high cholesterol. My doctor prescribed meds but instead I chose this method. I’m so happy that I did. My levels are at normal levels and my blood pressure is regulated. I haven’t weighed myself yet but I can tell I’m losing a lot of weight (loose clothes). I want to do 21 days and then start IF (16-8 method). I think modern medicine disowned this because this will take money out of their pockets. They get paid off your illness. Drug you up on medication you can barely pronounce or know what it’s doing to your body. Key factor to better health is watch your intake (learn your blood type and the foods associated with it) exercise (really moderately even short with burst of intense training) and sleeping. That’s mainly it. This video is amazing ☝🏽👌🏽

I love his matter-of-fact use of logic. No apologies.

After having a baby while working two jobs, I barely had time to eat more than one meal per day. Overtime I became used to it and alot of people looked at me like I was crazy. Many years later it's actually a thing. I can't seem to get enough of the science and studies behind fasting - the human body is so amazing!!! Thanks Dr Fung

The food industry would lose billions, possibly trillions with intermittent fasting alone.
