I can’t even get through day one water fast
I am finding this at the moment 🙄
Good, humans aren’t meant to fast anyways. Your brain thrives off glucose
You have to get Fat Adapted before you try fasting so that your metabolism can shift from glucose burning to fat burning 🔥 mode. 😊
@PrasantaDatta-f3g I’m really not trying to insult you but you couldn’t have made a more scientifically incorrect statement… just so wrong. Please eat carbohydrates for your brain. Please…
@MikeyyMichaelsyour body can makes glucose on demand too, he has done a video on that subject as well. Humans didn’t start out having breakfast lunch dinner and snacks.
71 yr old Grandma here, been fasting almost 3 yrs and I’m healthier and feel better than any time in my life. I do omad and usually fast around 20 hrs a day.
Is it harder to do longer fast without estrogen and post menopause? I find that I am losing a lot of hair and my fast I have to cut short before period.
@nhienbui1772 You may have an issue. 10y post meno and mostly omad with zero effort. Heavy animal protein and fat though.
I get weak and shakey after 16 hrs of fasting . 79 yrs old . I
Am plant based
plant based . Haven’t eaten meat for 35 yrs. No dairy products for 10 yrs . Gained weight after knee injury n replacement .Dont more like I used to due to other injuries . Never been able to fast past 16 hrs I feel other wordily. It’s like a bad high .
Will a 48 hr.fast accelerate my belly PCOS belly fat loss or will it cause cortisol secretion and weight stall?
Very intelligent question !! I suggest you to start with 16:8 Intermittent Fasting. You will not get miracle overnight.
@PrasantaDatta-f3g I have fasted 18:6 for a year and tried OMAD.
I saw improvement in a week with OMAD and I hope the weight loss will accelerate with a longer fast.
@Libra-v1rProlonged fasting have both positive and negative effects. I suggest OMAD with some less calories intake e.g.,if you need 2000 calories, take 1500 calories. You will be able to calculate your calorie need from the internet. You may also take help from a dietician.
@PrasantaDatta-f3glooks like a very good plan for me, thank you 🙏🏻
@PrasantaDatta-f3gI have done 16:8 for 4 years without fail and never dropped a single lb. I grew up in the 50 ‘ s and 60 ‘ s where there were no snacks ( you’ll spoil ur dinner) and kitchen was closed after dinner. I think the 16: 8 idea works for young people who grew up in a culture where food was available 24/7 and snacking was a way of life. For us old timers, 16:8 is the way we were raised and have always eaten. It’s not doing a damn thing to help me lose fat now.
Going be 65 and I enjoy my fasting don’t even get hungry during day

Can u make a video on fasting,keto and woman hair loss
What about those with gallstone issues? My Dr told me not to fast anymore, and to have at least a little fat 3-4 times every day. Could a teaspoon of olive-oil 4 times a day work as a fasting mimicking diet? Also having PCOS/PMOS, I was again advised not to fast – but I have insulin resistance and plenty of excess fat to lose. And chronic migraines too, again advised to eat frequently/regularly. I find myself confused what to do with so much conflicting advice and several health conditions, but needing to address insulin resistance and obesity.
Why don’t your doctor advice you to remove gallstones at the earliest possible opportunity? It may cause trouble anytime if not removed. After that operation you should correct your Insulin Resistance which is the root cause of obesity, PMOS etc. Stay healthy.
@PrasantaDatta-f3g I cannot afford private healthcare, so will need to wait over 18 months before I can even be considered for gallbladder removal. And it would not help me with the issue of chronic migraines or several other health conditions I have. I need options I can work with while navigating healthcare and health condition limitations
Dr Fung, does fasting cause the gallstones? How high the risk and how to reduce it? Thank you
What about hair loss
Body may get necessary calories from stored body fat during prolonged fasting. But where from it will get amino acids (specially essential amino acids) ,essential fatty acids, minerals and vitamins (which are not stored in the body in sufficient amount)?Do the answers to the loss of lean mass or fall of hair lies in this question?😮
Im 63 I have been doi g the OMAD way of life for about 9 years now and I haven’t lost anything. I do have lipedima, and I gained 80 pounds durinv menopause while fasting. What do you think is wrong? Why cant I lose weight?
Adequate nutrition and adequate body fat are not the same thing… are they? and doesn’t fasting increase cortisol for menopausal women?

I am 69 years old. I have been fasting for 3 years. I was eating lunch and dinner but I like eating a big breakfast and sml lunch. I drink lots of herbal teas for the rest of the day. I have CKD Stage 3a.
Have your CKD improved with Intermittent Fasting?
Dr. Fung, I did keto and fasting for some time 4 yrs back and got great results. My diabetes was in control n lost extra weight too. But now I have sarcopenia and cirrhosis. Shud i continue keto and fasting? Please advice.
Where can we post these questions for Dr.Fung? 🤔
Most people underestimate the amount of body fat they are carrying and are petrified of going a day without food!
Its really hard to explain to ppl who care abt us abt fasting,insullin, sugar, carbs, keto diet as they love us, they think we r harming our body due to their own knowledge n understanding. I ve been on this battle since 2018 til nw.. Its a lonely journey but im still on the right track.
