Jason Fung

Oh my goodness, friends.

How exciting to have the legend Jason Fung on the show today.

He is honestly one of the people that I have followed for the longest time in the world of health and wellness.

He is such an inspiration to me, and this is such an honor.

That's avalonx.us slash spirulina with the coupon code MELANIEAVALON.

All right, I think that's all the things.

Now, without further ado, please enjoy this fabulous conversation with Dr. Jason Fung.

Hi friends, welcome back to the show.

restriction diets over time will change your set point.

Dr. Fung taught us that in the obesity code.

We know that if we limit the calories in and we do more exercise in the calorie output category, what happens is that we start to change our set point, making it more difficult to lose weight.

Fasting's not that.

Sure, you can lose weight, but over time it's very, very difficult to sustain a calorie restriction diet.

And as Dr. Jason Fung taught us, and many of you have experienced, that diets fail because calorie restriction changes your set point.

So if you've been stuck in that dieting calorie restriction culture, I want to tell you two things.

First, I wrote a whole chapter for you.

And so when I first started bringing fasting to YouTube, let me know in the, in the comments, if you've been on a subscriber follower for a while.

Many of you were proponents had just finished reading Jason Fung's Obesity Code and you got so excited about that that you just started eating one meal a day.

And then after months, your weight loss results stopped.

And so many of you found my channel where I was teaching fasting variation.

And there's a couple of other doctors who are on the verge of being in trouble any day now.

Dr. Jason Fung, he's a nephrologist.

And rather than just shut up and write prescriptions for people who have kidney failure and manage their dialysis for them as they go through the end stage of renal failure and die their miserable deaths, they're destined to die.

He, I don't know, thought it would be a good idea to counsel these patients to counsel them and say hey if you stop eating all the carbs your diabetes will get better and your your kidney damage will stop and then you won't have to have kidney failure and kidney transplants and dialysis and all that he's on the verge of getting in trouble here and he should you know that's stupid he should shut up and go with what the experts tell him and then this other guy's a cardiologist William Davis you may have heard of me wrote a book called undoctored which basically says don't listen to the expert opinion and You know, I'm going to tell you, I was a heart doctor, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever, whatever.

And basically, every one of these diets follows the food pyramid, or the MyPlate, from the federal government.

That's what it follows.

so in order for a diet to be complete and have nutritional completeness it must include whole grains lots of whole grains and lots of low-fat dairy it has to include that otherwise how it all the farmers who grow wheat and all the farmers who have dairy cattle how would they well it's really not even about the farmers I love the farmers what it's about is the huge corporations that farm the farmers that's what this is all about how would ADM and all these other huge corporations how would they keep their board of directors happy if we started saying hey stop eating whole wheat it's really not that great for you stop drinking skim milk it's really not that great for you i mean that could affect the national economy and regardless of whether it helped helped obesity and type 2 diabetes or not that's not the point the point is we want these huge corporations to be successful so we can be successful as a country if our life expectancy is going down and our rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes are skyrocketing so what that's irrelevant that's the price you pay for prosperity people so you need to listen to these experts and stop listening to people to doctors like Jason Fung and board certified nephrologist don't listen to him and don't listen to william davis a board certified cardiologist and don't listen to me a board certified family physician because we are not telling you what the expert panel said therefore what we're saying is dumb and you shouldn't listen to us okay now if you enjoyed this video please i beg you don't share this on facebook or twitter or instagram because you're just gonna turn other people on to the ketogenic diet and it's obviously the worst diet in the world so why would you want to do that and then if you really enjoyed this and you want to support me more personally and give me a buck or something definitely don't support me on patreon because if you do i'll just keep making lots of videos about the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting and all the positive effects it has on human beings and why would anybody want that because that's not what this expert panel said This is Dr. Berry.

I apologize.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jason Fung.

There's a lot of myths around intermittent fasting that might make you think twice about trying it.

I'm gonna look at the top five myths that I see, and interestingly, they're usually completely wrong and the opposite of what you might have thought.

Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

So right now I'd like to welcome Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist from Toronto who's come all this way.

Many of you may have heard of him.

Jason's written a couple of books, and he's one of the people that really made the idea of fasting or intermittent fasting kind of popular.

So how does that work? As we heard this morning from Dr.

Fung, it seems to be all about hyperinsulinemia.

If you're insulin resistant and you feed a regular mixed diet, you will have a high insulin level.

The higher, the more insulin resistant you are.
