In 2021 experts finally said that diabetes could be reversed because they knew people were aware that it was a big lie that it could not be reverse.😏
It cannot be reversed. It can be controlled with diet, but once you start eating carbs again your glucose will spike hard.
Thank you Dr Fung!! 😊🎉❤🙏
Not only does fasting for 24h reduce your insulin to 40% of your starting value, but fat instead of carbs in your meals greatly reduces insulin spikes so the fewer meals you have and the less carbs in each meal the more quickly you can get your blood sugar down. However when you fast 36-96h not only does it not slow metabolism and not lose muscle but this will cause liver fat to be the first fat lost because when fasting it is the liver that creates blood glucose and it uses fat to do so. This is also why unhealthy people get such a strong dawn effect this is your liver shooting glucose out into the body due to excess liver fat.
Not entirely correct. The liver does not primarily use its own stored fat for gluconeogenesis. The liver’s fat stores are mainly used for energy production or as precursors for ketone body synthesis during fasting or ketosis. Glycerol from adipose tissue lipolysis is a significant contributor to gluconeogenesis in the liver.
Liver fat is what produce’s the triglycerides in serum. Check Lustig and liver glycogen is used for glucose as energy and yes liver uses it up hence dawn effect amplifies for diabetics. Your visceral fat is the ketone producer
@@Chuckruu Wrong. Once glycogen runs out the liver uses liver fat.
@@climate-civilizations I’m obviously talking about fasting, and yes when fasting this is the first place you burn fat.
@@LTPottenger Amen brother❣
Thank you Dr. Fung! January 2024 I read your ‘The Diabetes Code.’ I was a 265 lbs. 72 year old type 2 diabetic diagnosed 5 years before. Come February I was off of insulin and eventually metformin. Now August I am now at 204 lbs. and my goal of 190 is well within sight. All due to OMAD and your marvelous advice. Life is good!
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing your story!
That’s great!👋🏼

Did you fast only? Or you did low carb diet too?
I have lost 32lb and reversed my diabetes. I couldn’t have done it without the knowledge you shared. Your name was given to me by my medical consultant, it was the best thing he did for me. I wish I could actually thank you in person because you and my consultant saved my life.
I reversed my Type 2 on the carnivore diet in less than four months. During that time I did a two week water fast and at the end of month five I’m halfway through a second two week water fast. Primary reason for the fasts were weight loss. I started out at 360lbs and am now down to 299lbs. I eliminated two diabetes medications and two blood pressure medications from my life. I’d give it a try if all else has failed.
With type 2 you either have to go aggressively high carb low fat or high fat low carb. Neither are easy but the results speak for themselves.
@@terseandtiny1746 the human brain thrives on fat and a high sugar/carb diet will not improve insulin resistance. Clearly, the high fat low carb approach is superior for improving metabolic health and reversing chronic conditions like diabetes and dementia (often referred to as T3 diabetes).
I just want to say thanks for your information over the years. I’m pretty sure it helped me tremendously. I’m still following your current advice and have been for over two years. I’ve lost 48kg, I have a ketosis meter, which helps tremendously. I’m xxy 6 foot 6. And live in NZ. I’ve been recommending your name through out NZ, concerning your solid work and achievements, and my achievements. Thank you for publishing your studies.
Dr Fung ,can you please do a video of the difference between time restricted eating and extended fasting plus the reasons for choosing either.
When people hear” do not eat “ means different things to different people.
Tell people why it is a lie that diabetes is irreversible.
You are too modest! You invented fasting ,take credit for it ! You have saved lives all over the world and deserve the Nobel Prize together with Lustig.
Please he made fasting popular again. He didn’t invent it. 😊
People have been fasting since forever
He has lots of videos and books all about your requests already, Chuckruu. Agree with you on the Nobel Prize.
@@christabedwin the Nobel prize for discovering what?
☺️
4 years A1C under 6.0 . DX in 90’s as pre diabetic. Was told to follow ADA diabetes guidelines. A joke. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your books are a treasure.
hear hear. I watched my grandma die horribly (obesity, gangrene, blindness, dialysis, heart disease, dementia, etc) following all the diabetes association advice to the letter. Dr. Fung’s willingness to probe deeper and speak up against the mainstream is a gift to all of us.
I have been following the fasting lifestyle for over 2 years now, I eat lower carbs and sugar. You know how people meal prep for dinners? I dessert prep! I always have some low sugarno sugar options stocked in my freezer (cookies and muffins mostly-they’re easy and you can make a lot of them at a time!) I fast about 19-22 hours every day and have lost 60 LBS and kept it off! Not only that, I am no longer PRE-DIABETIC, my plantar fasciitis went away, I not longer have acid reflux and my joints don’t hurt anymore! Fasting is LIFE. 😀
Wow!!🎉
Amazing!! Congrats!!!🎉
Thank you Dr Fung. Because of you I lost weight, I am healthier and I do fasting. I started Jan 2023 following your advice in your books and your video’s on You Tube and I have maintained it. I cannot thank you enough.
I took the pill and fasting route beginning last year and in Feb this year, I’m totally off all pills. Now on IF 16 to 18 hours a day, less rice and noodles replaced by cauliflowers, broccoli and beans. Thank you from Singapore! You need to come here to convince our government doctors.
@@emeritusdavidteo5553 so you’re still eating grains and oxalates and antinutrients?
Eat meat fish and good fats. You’ll be better off
Thank you Dr Fung. Love from Belgrade Serbia 🇷🇸❤️
Thank you so much Dr. Fung. I discovered your channel at the end of May this year. I had the CABG bypass surgery last October. Before the surgery, I was non-diabetic. During every year annual body checks. my family doctor collected the blood samples himself, sent to a lab in which I have no idea of the lab. He phoned me the test results, but never in details. Every year he told me no diabetes, but I have to monitor closely the blood sugar because my mom has serious diabetes. In the hospital discharge report, it states I am non-diabetic. After the surgery, the cardiac surgeon prescribed me Atorvastatin 80 mg daily dose. I completely changed my diet, no processed food, no burger, fries, pizza, ice cream, cheesecake etc. After three months, the cardiologist halved the Atorvastatin dosage from 80 mg to 40 mg. Meanwhile, the cardiologist asked me to go for a blood test. It was done at Dynacare. This is the first time I can read my report in details. I can do my own studies what the data about. The HB A1C was 5.9. In the report, it states if a person HB A1C is between 6 and 6.4, it is classified to be pre-diabetes. So I was classified as non-diabetic. After I had fully recovered, I resumed my daily one hour gym every morning. I do one hour of elliptical which is my exercise to keep fit. Three months later, I had another blood test. This test had more things, including cholesterol, triglycerides, Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), etc. The HB A1C had elevated to 6.3, and the ALT had elevated to 132, way beyond the threshold level of 46. I started worrying, asking why. The cardiologist did not have time to see me, as such, I did my own research. I suspected it may be the side effect of the high dosage of the Atorvastatin. I consulted my new family doctor (The original one has retired). He halved the Atorvastatin from 40 mg to 20 mg, asked me to do an abdominal ultrasound to see if there is NAFLD, in addition, take another blood test on the ALT a week later. The result was encouraging, the ALT had fallen to 93, proving my hypothesis of the side effect is correct. I found your channel at the end of May. I learned how to prevent having types two diabetes. I started intermittent fasting by skipping lunch. I have breakfast around 5:15 am daily, dinner around 6:15 pm. It proved intermittent fasting work effectively to lose weight faster. Since then, I lost over ten pounds in two months. Last Friday, I had the blood test, I am delighted to see the HB A1C has fallen back to 5.9, the ALT has fallen to 53. Other than that, the HDL, and the triglycerides are all improved. The LDL only elevated slightly from the previous reading of 1.27 to 1.35. Yes, intermittent fasting works. I look forward to another fall in HB A1C in the blood test three months from now. 😄
Dr Fung, I started following your channel over3 years ago. My A1C atthetime was 6.1 (pre-diabetic) per my Dr. I started fasting eating once a day for a period of 1 Hr. I have been following this regimen since Dec 10. 2021 so close to three years. Easiest thing I have ever done. My weight dropped from 276 lbs to 195 lbs and my Last doc appt my A1Cwas 4.1. Thanks again
A1C = 4.1 is pretty low (average blood glucose around 70). ??
Thanks to you and your book, my late husband was able to reverse his T2 diabetes by doing 16:8 and low carbs (he didn’t die from diabetes complications). I will always be grateful to you and a huge fan.
This method is not for me. I got my A1C down to 4.9 and lost 120 lbs. with just standard 8/16 I/F and occasional 48 or 72 hour fasts, maybe twice a year each. All my respect to you Doctor, couldn’t have done it without you.
“Duh!” I adore you, Dr. Fung! I am so looking forward to my fatty liver and all the associated maladies to become a thing of the past, and you are the only one giving rock solid advice on fasting/diet. They said “lose 15% of your body weight” while giving me no clues about how to achieve that, and, try as I might, it wasn’t happening. But you make so much sense, I can’t help but believe this will work! Thank you!
I’m so thankful I found Dr Fung’s interviews, lectures and books almost four years ago. I was such a mess, almost 300lbs, severe osteoarthritis pain, 2:03 couldn’t walk, asthma, high blood pressure . I went LCHF keto and learned how to fast. I lost 160lbs. and it’s reversed ALL my health issues. I’m 61 now and I’m loving my fasting lifestyle 🥰! I share your information with hopes others will learn how to be well! Thanks for all you do! 🙏👍
Thanks for sharing its inspiring
Thanks Dr Fung, your info has helped me lose 40 lbs over 3 years. 240-201. Intermittent fasting and sugar reduction.
