[donnaoneill]

Had a Diabetes Education appointment, through a Community Health Centre, where the "nurse" told me these three things: 1) that intermittent fasting would make me gain weight (provided a Sumo Wrestler scenario), 2) a keto diet for patients with diabetes is very bad, 3) fasting burns muscle. I asked her if she had heard of any recent scientific studies that showed the opposite results but she had no answer. I did recommend that she google some stuff (and Dr Jason Fung) before telling a diabetes patient those sorts of things. Wish there was diabetes education that was current and not meant to stop a patient in their tracks so they won't follow any other science or advice that would benefit them. She did acknowledge that within 1 month I had lost 13 pounds and my numbers look better than a month ago but she still wouldn't agree that fasting was actually working for me. Sad state of affairs.

Loved Obesity Code. Fasting is a lifestyle, not just a quick weight loss fad.

The man, the legend, you know when cardiologists recommend this guy, he's got clout.

I've found something that helps insomnia: When I lie down I'll say to myself, "It's okay that you're not falling asleep because you're resting." I usually fall asleep pretty quickly after that because I'm not obsessing over not being able to sleep.

This Dr is saving life sadly the pharmaceutical industry don't want to acknowledge his contributions. We treasure him and he should be a global treasure not National treasure

One meal a day is my favourite. No hunger. Even being non fundamentalist, eating all sorts of food and doing other meals in social occasions. An active lifestyle is recommended. The more you feel good, the more you become active, the less fatigue. It's a rewarding cycle.

I have 10 days down with my 21:3 IF. Down 9.6 pounds but more importantly, to me anyway, I have had HORRIBLE perimenopausal insomnia for the ladt 3 years. For the last 6 nights I have had 7.5-9 hours of good, restorative sleep.💤 This has been a game changer for me. 95 pounds to go!

[gigir]

Your unbelievably amazing thank you I never thought I would ever see me at 200lbs lost 65lbs thanks to you Dr.

[carolyn]

I embrace the hunger as an assurance that my body is burning fat 🔥 so for me hunger is a very positive association not a all a negative. Usually I drink a bit of water and carry on with other happy thoughts.

[robles]

That's how much we love Dr Jason Fung ❤

[oldroscoe]

Think of hunger as your body saying eat or I'll start using this stored up fat.

[debracottrill]

Funny, a commercial for how to lower blood sugar with all the "wrong" information mainstream has touted for years like, "you'll never have to give up carbs or foods you love", yeah right. I know how to get diabetes, reversing it requires change. Thank you Dr Fung for educating and liberating us from the cul de sac of diabetes 2. I'm enjoying all your books and changing my life with joy instead of dread. Big love and respect for your honesty and education.

You won me as a fan with two words: "pickle juice". I'm currently in the middle of a 40-day fast and your videos and the interview you did with Dr. Mercola have really helped me to understand what my body is going through. I've also ordered your book and I'm looking forward to reading it. Thanks for all that you did to support actual health. You're a "rare breed" as a doctor advocating life w/o pharma madness.

I’ve been fasting 18-21 hours, 6 days a week. For just over 2 years now. Lost 100 lbs and have been able to maintain. Thanks for inspiring me Dr Fung.

[justsayin]

I find if I drink sparkling water with lots of ice and fresh lemon it really helps to stay off the hunger

[christinahagan]

Not only do I appreciate and love this doctor my 6 yr old son wants to be a doctor just like him!!!! He is a great example to people of all ages! 2 months and 26 pounds down not so bad fasting!!!! :)

[cocosunflower]

Thank you !!!. Today I’am beginning my water fast journey and sharing with YouTube. Wish me luck guys⭐️

. I have 130 pounds to go, I'm down a dress size... and this is something I know I can do... other things, I didn't "Know" and didn't "believe".... Dr. Fung, the "Game-Changer!" I used to start my fast at 8 pm thinking I could never (ever) not eat earlier, now I get excited to start it at 6 or even 5... the other day I was yapping on the phone with a friend, and looked at the clock, it was 7, and I said Oh well, I'm not eating, and I just knew I'd be starving the next day... I didn't eat the next day until like 4 pm! I'm physically transforming, and mentally, doing something I never thought I could do.... finally.

Today is Sunday 7th March, 2021 - Thanks man, my blood sugars have down down to mostly 6 or 7 in a month. Keep up the great work. One hospital told me to get off Dr. Jason Fung Fasting, and stay on there way. I refused. On this Thursday gone the hospital refused to have anything to do with me, cause I refused to do they way. Guess they want to keep my diabetes 2 going- my goal is to lower on my insulin. Thanks for saving me and others.
