I've been fasting since I was 19 & read the book, Fasting The Ultimate Diet, by Allan Cott. Now I'm 60 & people say I look 40! Amen

[TheElvandal]

I’ve been fasting since the last time I ate.

I lost 70lbs doing exactly what you are saying. Once I added resistance training while fasting I put on lean muscle and it completely changed my physique. One of the best decisions I've ever made!

[ChrisNajdek]

I started fasting just under a year ago. I primarily do ADF and go 36 hours before I eat for roughly 6-12 hours. I was 307 lbs when I started fasting and walking and I’m now between 195-205 depending on the day. I’ve started adding kettlebell workouts 3-4 days a week and I’ve seen a huge increase in my lean mass. Dr. Fung is the main reason I started fasting. Thank you.

We need a Jason Fung in every doctor’s office in America.

With Intermittent fasting and low carb high protein and average fat, more veg moderate nuts and fruits, eating more whole real food, avoiding junk and with Cardio and resistance training I lost 7 kg in one month and the best shape I'm now in the best shape of my life, I'm 33 Yr and I've studied pharmacy and public health...
Dr Fung is the most revolutionary man in the field of health and nutrition... The amount of nutrition knowledge I learnt in last one month is far better then my 10 yrs professional education

Dayum! That one-armed chin up casual flex by Dr Fung at 0:26. Dr Fung is flexing not only his intellectual strength but his physical strength as well! Respect!

Thanks for posting this.

It's important to note that Terry Crews has said he does 16:8 and works out in the morning. He then continues fasting after his workout until 2pm. This means that his body is still pumping out HGH while his muscles are recovering.

I'd be interested in hearing more about the studies behind this.

I didn't think it was possible for me to love Dr. Fung more, but here I am! Wow!!

[joeblues]

Keep preaching!!! My life is completely different because of fasting!

[austingeog]

Hi Dr. Fung! So proud to be a small part of all the healing and good you bring to the world.

Our bodies are wise! They aren’t going to loose muscle in long fasts or our ancestors would not have been successful hunters and we wouldn’t be here.

[ildiphoenix]

Thank you Dr Fung this videos are so precious, I am 73 and doing every day 14 -17 hours fasting since last august and lost 12 kg also stop eating bread and doing weight training, use to be a binge eater 😊❤

[AnovaLisaDragonfly]

How perfect! I’m starting ADF with weight training. A beautiful friend who’s been weight lifting for years says that fasting and lifting don’t really go together, that lifting requires eating throughout every day to stay fueled and feed muscle growth.

But I knew I could make it work, get all the benefits of fasting AND lose weight and build muscle. As long as I keep my feeding days high-protein and nutritionally dense. Appreciating this video and the comments.

[JivanCamoirano]

Very true! I did intermittent fasting everyday for the last 3 years and I gain lots of muscles and lost fat and at 44 years I m in the best shape of my life thanks to training fasted, thank you for your information really appreciate

[Magicstar-nwxw]

You deserve an award. You're an amazing doctor. 🙂

[Boxxxxxxxxx]

He clarified in one video what dozens of fitness gurus have danced around conflicting “conclusions” about. 25 and have been intermittent fasting since I was 18/19. Perfect example of the difference between expertise and education.

[nomad-thisisgodsworld]

Dr Fung, you are the complete package. Handsome, kind, and Intelligent!😉😉😉😉😉

[donnathompson]

I water fasted for 18 days and almost immediately was back to lifting the same weight as before the fast so I don’t think I lost muscle 💪🏼

[LTPottenger]

This message is so important. The first fasting I did was over 30 years ago but I stopped doing it because I was so afraid I would lose muscle! How I wish that I had know then what I do now, I would have been ripped that whole time.

[hackptui]

I proved this is true for myself. I did my first 7-day water fast recently, at a point where my lifts were at their peak (bench, military press, lat pulls, etc). I lost 12 pounds during the fast. The first few days after the fast, I felt weak, of course, but within a week, I was right back at the same weights I was lifting and still about 7 pounds less bodyweight.
