    Fasting and Weight Loss - Solving the Two-Compartment problem

    Why intermittent Fasting is a simple solution for weight loss. Body fat is simply a method of storing food energy. When we eat, our body wants to store those calories. When we don't eat (intermittent fasting), our body uses those calories. So, if we want to lose body fat, increase the duration of time that we are not eating.

    Type 2 Diabetes isn't Genetic ... It's Caused by THIS

    Are you struggling to understand the real root cause of Type 2 Diabetes? For decades, the medical community has focused on insulin resistance without clearly explaining what actually causes the cells to become resistant in the first place. In this comprehensive masterclass, we break down the science of insulin resistance and reveal why the outdated 'Lock and Key' (internal starvation) theory fails to explain the modern obesity and diabetes epidemics. Instead, we explore the 'Overflow Paradigm'. You will discover how decades of high-carbohydrate diets have literally overstuffed your cells with glucose, leading to hyperinsulinemia, fatty liver, and metabolic syndrome. More importantly, Type 2 Diabetes is a fully reversible condition. By understanding how your body processes sugar, you can take control of your metabolic health using simple, evidence-based methods like low-carb diets and intermittent fasting. In this video, you will learn: ✅ The Root Cause: Why Type 2 Diabetes is actually a disease of too much insulin (hyperinsulinemia). ✅ The Suitcase Analogy: Why your cells are rejecting insulin because they are already jam-packed with glucose. ✅ The 1977 Disaster: How the dietary guidelines to "eat more carbs and less fat" directly sparked the obesity and diabetes epidemics. ✅ Reversing the Disease: How low-carbohydrate diets and intermittent fasting empty the cells of toxic glucose. ✅Modern Medicine: How treatments like GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic) and SGLT2 inhibitors fit into the reversal process. �� Join the Conversation: Have you tried a low-carb diet or intermittent fasting to manage your blood sugar?

    I tried the 5 day modified fast. Surprisingly easy.

    I’m sharing my personal experience with the fasting mimicking diet (FMD). I’ll break down how it works, the science behind it, and whether it’s worth trying. I’ve been talking about fasting since 2014, but one of the few researchers exploring fasting at the time was Dr. Longo in California. He discovered that fasting triggers beneficial repair processes in the body, but fasting for five days can be tough. That’s where the fasting mimicking diet comes in — it allows you to eat small amounts of specially designed foods while still keeping your body in a fasting state. �� What You’ll Learn in This Video: ✅ How the fasting mimicking diet works and the science behind it ✅ Why lowering nutrient sensors like insulin and mTOR matters for health ✅ Health benefits shown in studies on weight loss, diabetes, cancer, and more ✅ My personal experience – what worked, what didn’t, and how it felt ✅ Pros: Structured, easier than water fasting, good taste, and convenient ✅ Cons: It's pricey, but it replaces five days of meals I’ve done water fasts before, and they’re not easy — especially on days 3 and 4. But the FMD made it much more manageable since you’re still eating a bit of food. Plus, it’s less stressful and more socially convenient when eating with family. I’ll also walk you through exactly what’s included in the FMD kit — from soups and bars to teas and vitamins — and share my thoughts on the taste and overall experience. If you’re curious about fasting or looking for an easier way to experience the benefits of fasting, this video is for you! �� Watch now and let me know your thoughts in the comments! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▶️ Timestamps/Chapters 00:00 – Intro 00:20 – Fasting Mimicking Diet 01:27 – How can a 5 day fast be made easier? 03:38 – Why Mimic Fasting?

    Weight Loss (Controlling Body Set Weight) | Jason Fung

    Controlling the body's 'fat thermostat', also called the Body Set Weight (BSW) is the most important factor in how to lose weight. If your body set weight is set at too high a body fat percentage, then any attempt to lose weight will result in the body trying to regain weight by increasing hunger and decreasing caloric expenditure. Therefore, it pays to focus on how to adjust the body set weight.

    How Calories Are Different for Weight Loss (Science) | Jason Fung

    Dr. Jason Fung explains how and why all calories aren't the same. The term 'A Calorie is a Calorie' assumes that only the amount of calories is important and not the type of calories. Yet different calories have different hormonal effects on our bodies which impacts their fattening effect.

    Control HUNGER, not Calories

    Preorder The Hunger Code and receive over $500 worth of free bonuses. Check https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/gift-with-purchase-offer Why do so many people struggle with weight loss even when they carefully count calories? In this video, Dr. Jason Fung explains a powerful shift in thinking: instead of obsessing over calories, we should focus on controlling hunger. Hunger is not a lack of willpower—it’s a hormonal signal, and when hormones are ignored, long-term weight loss becomes nearly impossible. This discussion breaks down why traditional calorie-counting often fails and how hunger, insulin, and metabolism are deeply connected. In this video, you’ll learn: ● Why hunger—not calories—is the real driver of overeating ● How insulin affects hunger and fat storage ● Why eating less doesn’t always lead to sustainable weight loss ● The difference between physical hunger and hormonal hunger ● How fasting and proper food choices help regulate appetite naturally ● Why controlling hunger leads to better metabolic health Dr. Jason Fung explains these concepts in a simple, practical way—helping you understand why your body resists calorie restriction and what actually works for long-term health and fat loss. This video is especially helpful if you: ● Feel hungry all the time while dieting ● Have tried calorie counting but regained the weight ● Struggle with insulin resistance or slow metabolism ● Want a sustainable approach to weight loss and health If this message resonates with you, it may completely change how you think about food, hunger, and weight loss. 👍 Like this video if it helped you 💬 Comment below: Do you struggle more with hunger or calorie counting? 🔔 Subscribe for more science-based insights on fasting, insulin, and metabolic health ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏱️ Chapters / Timestamps 00:00 – Control Hunger, Not Calories (Why This Matters) 👉 Strong hook + main keyword 01:05 – Why Calorie Counting Fails for Most People 👉 Relatable pain point (high retention) 03:10 – Hunger Is Hormonal, Not Willpower 👉 Authority + education 05:00 – The Real Reason You Feel Hungry All the Time 👉 Curiosity-driven chapter 07:15 – How Insulin Drives Hunger & Fat Storage 👉 SEO + science-based trust 09:20 – What to Focus on Instead of Calories 👉 Solution-focused (rewatch value) 11:10 – Final Takeaway: Eat to Control Hunger Naturally 👉 Clean close + mindset shift ============================= 📌 BOOKS: 👉 The Obesity Code - Reviewing underlying physiology of weight loss and how low carb diets and fasting can help. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1771641258?... 👉 The Diabetes Code - Reviewing how type 2 diabetes is a reversible disease and dietary strategies. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0795BLS8D?... 👉 The Cancer Code - Scientific exploration of how cancer develops - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062894005?... 📌 Amazon: 👉 USA - https://www.amazon.com/shop/jasonfung 👉 Canada - https://www.amazon.ca/shop/jasonfung ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📌 Please visit our :- 🔹 Website - https://www.doctorjasonfung.com 🔹 Blog- / drjasonfung 🔹 Community- https://www.thefastingmethod.com 🔹 Facebook - / jason.fung.313 🔹 Instagram - / drjasonfung 🔹 Twitter - / drjasonfung ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📌 YouTube Medical Lectures (for specialist physicians): ▶️ The Roots of the Obesity Epidemic: https: // • The Obesity Epidemic, Explained ▶️ Therapeutic Fasting - The Two Compartment Problem:https: // • Fasting and Weight Loss - Solving the... ▶️ Does Calorie Counting work?: • Why Calorie Counting rarely leads to ... ▶️ Two Big Lies of Type 2 Diabetes: • Two Big Lies about Type 2 Diabetes ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ If you liked the video, Please Do Subscribe My Channel 😉😍 Keep Supporting me So I can Continue to provide you with free content each week!!😇 Learn more about your ad choices.

    As good as Ozempic? Tools for Managing Hunger

    Check out www.drinkaeira.com. I don't own any part of the company or get paid commission. Neither is this a sponsored video. Most people believe that counting calories is the key to weight loss, but that is a major misconception. The real secret to lasting weight loss isn't about calories—it's about controlling hunger. Drugs like Ozempic and GLP-1 agonists have proven this by targeting appetite, but you don't need medication to achieve these results. In this video, I break down the science of hunger management and share 3 powerful natural tools to help you suppress appetite and extend your fasting window comfortably. We discuss the hormonal impact of protein, the metabolic benefits of green tea, and the thermic effect of ginger. I also introduce a new product line called Aeira, which I helped develop to make bone broth and fasting teas more accessible and effective for everyone. Finally, you'll hear the inspiring story of Heather, a nurse practitioner who transformed her health by understanding that "hunger is a liar" and learning to control it. In this video, you will learn: ✅ The Calorie Myth: Why focusing on calories fails and why hunger is the root cause of overeating. ✅ Bone Broth Benefits: Why traditional bone broth works for satiety and why bouillon cubes are not a valid substitute. ✅ Green Tea Science: How catechins and caffeine in green tea improve metabolic rate and reduce hunger. ✅ The Power of Ginger: New research showing how ginger and herbal teas increase the thermic effect of food and promote fullness. ✅ Real Success Story: How Heather used these exact tools to overcome lifelong obesity. 📘 PRE-ORDER MY NEW BOOK: "The Hunger Code" (Coming March 2026) This book is a direct sequel to The Obesity Code and dives deep into hunger management and resetting your body's fat thermostat. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏱️ Chapters / Timestamps ⏳ Video Chapters: 00:00 - Intro: Why Calories Don't Matter (Hunger Does) 00:58 - Tool #1: The Power of Bone Broth for Satiety 01:39 - Introducing Aeira: A Better Way to Drink Bone Broth 02:16 - Why Bouillon Cubes Are NOT the Same 03:17 - Tool #2: Green Tea & Metabolic Rate 04:03 - The Science of Marigold & Chlorogenic Acid 04:27 - Tool #3: Herbal Tea (Ginger & Licorice Root) 04:50 - Study: How Ginger Reduces Hunger & Increases Fullness 06:00 - The Root Cause: Hunger Drives Eating Behavior 06:20 - Bonus Tip: Water & Seltzer 06:27 - Heather’s Transformation: From "Butterball" to Fasting Coach ============================= 📌 BOOKS: 👉 The Obesity Code - Reviewing underlying physiology of weight loss and how low carb diets and fasting can help. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1771641258?... 👉 The Diabetes Code - Reviewing how type 2 diabetes is a reversible disease and dietary strategies. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0795BLS8D?... 👉 The Cancer Code - Scientific exploration of how cancer develops - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062894005?... 📌 Amazon: 👉 USA - https://www.amazon.com/shop/jasonfung 👉 Canada - https://www.amazon.ca/shop/jasonfung ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📌 Please visit our :- 🔹 Website - https://www.doctorjasonfung.com 🔹 Blog- / drjasonfung 🔹 Community- https://www.thefastingmethod.com 🔹 Facebook - / jason.fung.313 🔹 Instagram - / drjasonfung 🔹 Twitter - / drjasonfung ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📌 YouTube Medical Lectures (for specialist physicians): ▶️ The Roots of the Obesity Epidemic: https: // • The Obesity Epidemic, Explained ▶️ Therapeutic Fasting - The Two Compartment Problem:https: // • Fasting and Weight Loss - Solving the... ▶️ Does Calorie Counting work?: • Why Calorie Counting rarely leads to ... ▶️ Two Big Lies of Type 2 Diabetes: • Two Big Lies about Type 2 Diabetes ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ If you liked the video, Please Do Subscribe My Channel 😉😍 Keep Supporting me So I can Continue to pr Learn more about your ad choices.
