➡️ Why Most People Fail at Fasting
If you’re over 40 and overweight, chances are you’ve tried fasting and given up within hours. It’s not weakness — it’s biology. Your body is trained to burn sugar, not fat.
➡️ Glucose vs. Fat – Your Body’s Fuel Tanks
Think of your body like a hybrid car. It can run on quick-burning glucose or long-lasting fat. If you’ve been eating lots of carbs, your body is stuck in “sugar mode,” making fasting feel impossible.
➡️ The Smarter Way to Start Fasting
Don’t jump straight into a 5-day water fast. Instead, train your metabolism first with healthy fats—like eggs, avocados, olive oil, and fatty fish. A low-carb or keto approach makes the switch to fat-burning effortless.
➡️ Psychological Hunger – The Real Challenge
Your body may not actually need food, but your brain expects it at certain times. Dr. Fung reveals simple tricks—like water, green tea, coffee, or even a little broth—that fool your brain and keep hunger away.
➡️ Small Wins First – Then Go Longer
Instead of forcing a 16-hour fast, extend your natural overnight fast. Skip breakfast, eat dinner earlier, or try one meal a day when you’re ready. Step by step, your body learns to burn fat without stress.
➡️ Stay Busy, Stay Successful
Fasting gets easier when your mind and body are engaged. Hobbies, cleaning, or exercise keep your blood flowing and cravings low. Before you know it, fasting feels natural.
➡️ Why Fasting Beats Exercise for Fat Loss
Exercise is great for health, but it barely touches stored fat. Fasting flips the switch, lowers insulin, and forces your body to use the energy it’s been holding onto for years.

Very good approach to transition phase and distraction ideas to reduce hunger.
I do rolling 36:12 fasts. It’s completely changed my relationship with food for the better.
This is pretty much a description of how I lost almost a hundred pounds, several years ago. There are those who still strongly advise against fasting and intermittent fasting, but that's what worked for me. None of the other advice was ever as effective.
M58 years old. From personal experience so far (admittedly only 2 mths so far), the problem with this theory is that my body "smartly" decided to burn my muscle mass for energy so whenever I did a huge calorie deficit (or even small calorie deficit), it took from my muscles first instead from visceral fat. This video is only good if you don't care losing your muscle mass or experiencing muscle atrophy. The ideal situation should have been retention of muscle mass while successfully directing the body to use visceral fat as fuel first.
Can you eat vegetables while you fast?
Я смотрю видео с субтитрами, поэтому рисунки за кадром просто бесят, вызывая неимоверные скачки кортизола. Мало того, что я просто не вижу этих рисунков, читая субтитры, так ещё и нервничаю от этого мелькания.
Is this connected to Dr. Fung’s official channel?
❤
I just loose so little like 1 kg a week if I'm lucky and am eating what I'm supposed to eat and not to eat as a dibetic well at least I'm not picking up
What about when you take medicine that needs to be taken with food?
I hate when people use others peoples videos an coment on it. Whats the purpose of that???
This is why you have babies naturally not scientifically. 😂
Why can I lose weight? I work out five times a week. I fasted six days a week I can lose weight.
Biological clocks..
The potential here is very clear. You have good ideas and a strong base. A more focused script and improved editing would help a lot. I support channels with this work. Let me know if you want to talk.
Started 16/8 IF 2 weeks ago and I'm diabetic… Everyday around 5 30 p.m. my sugar drops to 2/3 my doctor says I must leave the IF and I don't want to… I really don't know what to do…
Can I drink fruit juice during the fast ?
Wait, chicken broth doesn't break your fast???? Every Dr, has said it does…….so confusing
4~7pm start fasting and 9am ~10am breakfast works for me with 1-3hrs cardio exercises everyday. it’s impossible for me to remove carbs so yes, i eat bread and rice as source of energy. i lost 6kg in 4mos. my goal is to either lose more weight or maintain it.
How many carbs per one meal a day
Thank God I am a Muslim. We are already trained right from puberty.
Sir please address gallbladder stones while fasting for long… Many people are getting removed after doing OMAD etc(I read this in reddit)… Can existing fatty liver people do this?
Fastest way for women or the fastest way for men? 🤔
OMAD is helping me since 2022. Consistency is the key. Minimal 30 mins exercise a day aids as well.
I do intermittent fasting for 1.5 years, only eat hearty breakfast and some snacks, 18 hours fasting. im already losing a lot now im at a point IF doesnt help much and i need good workout + IF to lose weight.
I work 15 hrs a day and fasting won't work for me, having 1 meal a day no enough
Fasted 1x 8 days 1x 5 days. Second time was way easier. It is no problem if you take your vitamins, salt and a lot of water
What can I do to help me with Sjogrens. I need a lot of help
My problem is medications and supplements upset my stomach and cause heartburn without food. I have fasted for a week but it was 20 years ago.
FUCK why turn a 30 sec seg into a talking in circles 10 min vid
what an annoying video, repeting ponts, not direct.. goes around and around around
I get headaches when I do int fasting. What can help?
Almost Impossible to do when you have No friends, No close family No job and that your only confort in life is food.
Now I did it many time over the years, Because of Lack of money and yes it does Work, you 'll love your belly fast, I can testify of it, But it is hard in certain situations…
Thanks. I will try and wait for my results.
Just stop eating…eat once a week lol
The weight that you by fasting without resistant training is very easy and quickly regained. You need more muscle mass and exercise to keep the weight from coming back and continue fasting.
