So, some key take-aways:
1. It is important to reduce the consumption of processed food. The raw foods you consume can help reduce insulin spikes.
2. Eating less often helps with insulin spikes. Eating twice a day may be optimum.
3. Artificial sugars can cause spikes in insulin and increase cravings to eat.
4. You can have carbohydrates but in moderation and focus on carbs that aren't processed.
5. Fiber is important. Increasing fiber intake if consuming carbs can help better suppress the insulin spike,  and so does the addition of acidity, like vinegar and fermented food, while a carb is being consumed.
6. Exercise is good for you but does not mitigate eating too often.
7. "Calories in - calories out" is an oversimplification because it does not address how the type of calorie can cause insulin spikes. 100 calories of cookies vs 100 calories of broccoli are not treated the same by your body. Some calories are more prone to be converted to fat.
8. You do want to go from fasting to fed to fasting to fed. Your body should be allowed to get to a fasting state. That means, it is likely you will need to eat less often (think eliminating snacking) to get to the fasting state.
9. Between eating feel free to drink liquids that provide some benefit AND do not trigger insulin. Green tea, coffee, and water are some good examples. However, you don't want to overdue caffeine consumption.
10. A combination of diet (changing the quality of the food you eat), frequency (how often you eat), and some level of exercise is beneficial to you. I would add, that reducing mental stress is the other pillar of health to add.

For me listening to Dr. Fung. My   weight is now exactly what I did in high school 175 lbs. I'm not as muscular as I was then. Now I'm greatful that I wakeup every morning. I run somdays, lift weights, plant my garden, chop wood. Life is good.

I stopped eating irregularly, stopped sugar, wheat , flour, rice, pasta, bad oils! I brought my blood pressure to 121/69 and got rid of my asthma which I’ve had for 30+ years! Lost 25 pounds in two months. Keep doing it

I love how you let Jason Fung just talk without asking too many questions or adding comments.

I learned to fast because of Jason Fung, and it really simplified my life. At 62 I lost that extra 25 lbs I had been carrying around for a couple of decades. Being at a healthy weight makes you feel so much better physically and mentally. You don’t need to count calories or macros, just do intermittent fasting and stay away from carby processed food you’ll lose weight. It took me about 9 months and was very easy, especially as I saw the weight fall off.

Dr Jason Fung changed my life!  Following his guidance of reducing refined carbs and IF, I reduced my A1C for 8.4 to 5.4 in 4 months. I also lost 25 lbs with no added exercise. I’m 63 and this makes me so much healthier. It’s never too late, thank you #DrJasonFung

Great eposode. Thank you for letting Dr Fung speak. Too many people interrupt.

Dr Fung is a wealth of knowledge and so good at explaining things. Because of him I went to intermittent fasting and it has been really good for me. I don't think about food all the time anymore. Saves time and money. Thanks for this informative video.

Jason is amazing. Wish I had found him years ago! Never thought I could do IF, but I can and I feel GREAT! I feel my body healing and working as nature intended. Don't have tons of weight to lose, but I will be healthier and happier if I lose 20lbs. I'm 2 months in and I will never stop fasting daily. THANK YOU!

This has been the key. I like exercise for the health and mood benefits, but I never saw many results until I tried IF. The body recomp is finally happening. I'm enjoying exercise more than ever, and I love being able to eat what I like (and now I'm actually craving whole foods instead of sugar). I'm thrilled and my life is easier.

Coming across Jason Fung was a literal answer to prayer!! I just turned 57.  Six weeks ago I started IF, I am down 20 pounds(no exercise), I have crazy energy, my gums are healing, and I am sleeping better!!

He’s really describing the pre-processed food era, less cars, more motion, less TV etc.

Thank you so much, Jesse. You are my favorite interviewer. You ask the best questions. I really appreciate you. God bless.

I have been on OMAD for 1 year and 3 months now (Did intermittent fasting for 6 months before shifting to OMAD). I workout daily (fasted workout) and I eat right after exercising (23rd hour of my fast). I eat almost anything and as much as my stomach can handle (but I have been reducing carbs lately) and not only I have maintained my weight (69 kg) as a 5’7” 35-yr old male person, I have also improved my muscle mass greatly. I am at my “rippest” in my 13-year fitness journey.  Fasting is amazing!

I was blessed to come across his videos when I first tried to lose weight. My belly weight to be exact.

Now I can proudly say I successfully lost my unwanted weight on my first trial.

30 lbs, 20% of my body weight of fat:) in three months and nope I haven’t gained anything back.

I have gained a few pounds of lean muscle though;)

Best shape of my life. I am close to 50:)

Oh my God. How did everyone miss this. If you go on every web page the workout guys swear cal in cal out. That statement is just ridiculous. You are so right Dr Fung. You may be the lone word of advise.  Thankyou

If only Dr Fung was the Minister for Health in the UK . He could save so many lives and save the NHS at the same time .

What a pleasure to be able to listen to Dr. Fung without being constantly interrupted by a video host whose remarks have very little substance.

One of the best fasting videos i've seen. Really breaks down that it's all about hormones, frequency of eating and quality of food when it comes to weight loss. Basic stuff that tends to get bypassed leading to more confusion and people give up. Thanks for the great video!
