The SIMPLE Way To Make Your Body KILL BELLY FAT! - Doctor Reacts

Dr. Jason Fung is one of the first doctors I came across when I started my weight loss journey and he really made me realize that you cannot continually eat …I am at a 30 pound weight loss and maintaining that for the past three years and finding him really changed my life.

To be fair, in another video Dr. Fung mentioned that a ketogenic diet results in 71% the benefit of fasting, so adding intermittent fasting in whatever form is an added benefit. He described keto and fasting as "cousins."

To be fair. Dr. Fung does encourage a low carb diet among his patients. It’s in both the Obesity Code and the Diabetic Code.

I have just under 70 pounds to lose. I doing high protein moderate fat low carb alternate day fasting. So it's a Dr. Westman - Dr Fung combo. Skipping some meals allows me to afford rib eyes on a regular basis. Weight loss is steady, meals are enjoyable, and while my stomach may growl on fasting days, I don't get the shakes or light-headed anymore. I love your reaction videos.

Dr Fung's youtube videos on OMAD, intermittent fasting and longer periods of fasting were so helpful to me on my keto and carnivore journey.

Dr. Fung was the first person I learned from about my diabetes. I read the Diabetes Code and haven't looked back. There are others who can describe various facets of diabetes control in deeper detail, but he has is all right.

Fung was also my first exposure to keto/fasting with "The Diabetes Code". It changed my life and I'll always be so grateful that he does what he does. But I've also been glad to find people like Eric that I also trust, and can do things like this reaction video to get even more nuanced things discussed. For those familiar enough with both, you clearly know they're 98% "on the same page".

This needs to be put in the CLINICAL context of how Dr Fung developed his method. His clinic went with IF rather than relying keto because of the catchment population. Dealing with many immigrants and low income patients, the patients found the prospect of fasting more acceptable than not eating their culturally appropriate foods. For those who were happy to eat low carb when they did eat, they got better results. Those who practiced THERAPEUTIC fasting but didnt change what they ate, still got acceptable results.

I was hesitant to watch this video and resisted the temptation to shut it off. Although there was no attack on Dr Fung too many comments were taken out of the over all context of what Dr Fung proposes over and over in his videos. Dr Fung changed my life and was the first trusted resource of valuable low carb intermittent fasting information.

Thank you. I appreciate videos where a professional in the same space politely critiques another professional. It helps me to learn how to listen more carefully.

I've followed Dr Fung's program for a time, and I have to point out : He doesn't just recommend fasting. His program is fasting combined with eating a low-carb to keto diet. They are actually a powerful combination because it's much easier to fast when you are already fat-adapted thanks to eating keto. And conversely, doing like a 36h fast can help you get fat-adapted more quickly ( but that can really suck though). Today, I just use it as a practical solution : having fasted in the past over 36h in the past, I know that I can go that long without food without any problems. So that if I'm on the road, at a conference or some other situation where I can't at least eat keto, I don't have to worry. In that sense, it's a powerful and simple tool to have at your disposal

My top 2 docs are Dr Westman and Dr Fung. Both complement each other and it works. One important benefit to fasting is autophagy which is huge. Clean those baddies out of you. When you open your window make sure it’s low carb, keto or ketovore and your body will be happy. Mine certainly is. Oh and don’t forget to exercise.❤

Jason Fung was the Doctor who started me out on my health journey 2 1/2 years ago. Great at explaining stuff and really practical. He also promotes low carb / keto on other videos. I understand that insulin in the blood helps glucose into cells, converts excess glucose into glycogen and prevents fat burning. Therefore when you don’t have insulin in your blood ie fasting, means you must burning fats. When you are on keto every time you eat you will still raise some insulin….. I’m still intermittent fasting and on keto / carnivore. Great way to go!👍👍👍

Dr Fung does recommends keto and fasting. My understanding that most of his patients do alternate day fasting. He does says he does have patients that won't go on Keto but the fasting even works with the SAD diet, but just not as well.

I see it fairly simply. If I never eat protein I will die. If I never eat fat, I will die. If I never eat carbs, I will be fine. There is NO HUMAN NEED FOR CARBOHYDRATES. When I eat keto, I am not hungry in the morning, so I eat later; voila! Intermittent Fasting.

What works best for me is doing longer 36 and 48 hour fasts and then eating low carb in between fasting. I've lost over 20 pounds in a month so far and saved so much money.

Thank you, Dr. Westman! I love Dr. Fung, he has a wonderful way of getting his message across in a entertaining way. I love you, too, Dr. Westman and I learn much from you. I do intermittent fasting AND I am very low carb!

Fasting + low carb + exercise = God mode.

After doing the ketogenic diet and intermitten fasting for 2 years, I would say the combination of food is the foremost concern, and then the timing and the duration of fasting would come naturally. The high fat with adequate protein would determine when I will have the next meal. Carbs just make me feel hungry earlier, which mean my duration of my fasting shorter.

Intermittent fasting and keeping carbs less than 20 grams equals amazing weight loss
