I put together a meal plan for insulin resistance using Whole Foods, here it is for free: http://www.thomasdelauer.com/eatrealfood – The best way to adhere to something is just have a plan. This is a thank you for joining my newsletter and subscribing
My takeaway: Keep it clean, keep it simple, keep it orderly. We live life by living it, not [over]thinking it.
"I like to snort my carbohydrates" 😅

The 4th "very interesting" type of fasting: Fasting Mimicking Diet (27:24)
It's so obvious what you're doing when you delay that fourth type of fasting and you tell people how interesting it is but you refuse to say what it is. You're just trying to get people to watch the video for longer and it's honestly disgusting that you're using that tactic. Just tell us what it is.
I am most hungry at midnight and that often makes me break my 16/8 fast.
Fasting has been used for healing all kinds of stuff for thousands of years.
If he says "Right" one more time..
Starting to see? People have been fruit and water fasting for health for a really long time, there are old clinics in Europe, now someone is rediscovering hot water
I was diabetic 15 years ago. Now I can eat rice, potato, rice bread – no problem. Normal blood sugar.
I use Engineering Science – RCA – root cause analysis to identify the root cause of Type 2 Diabetes – it is industrial fats. Swapped out for natural fats. Takes about 6 months.
See "15 Years Diabetes Free" for details.
"The Big Fat Swap" tells the full story.

Me at 3:00am eating a Twix bar while looking at this.
Dr Jason is excellent 😊
I wish he looked a little healthier.
Dear Thomas, in other videos Dr Fung explained that you dont get more and more ravenous. He says that your hunger goes up and down in a cycle during the day. If you wait 45 mins to an hour your hunger will go down to between-meals base.
I have found that myself.
So as you were working in your imagination, so your RAVENOUS hunger was also in your imagination.
Beautifully explained
No such thing as resistant starch sticky rice…works for all the other rices.
I get the same joint pain cure by just eliminating high oxalate foods for a few days….
Wish Dr Fung could comment about the Chinese 3min fast-walk interval theory. I hear it’s the most effective way of walking
I cannot sleep when I am hungry. I can eat dinner and go 18 easily. But that next evening I lay awake wide eyed with no inkling to be still, much less sleep. All I have to do is eat a burger pattie with a slug of unhomogenized whole milk. Zzzzzzz
Thomas, I would love to see you interview Dr Fauci! 😅 /jk
Can't listen this pagan
LETS GET FUNGED!
In my close circle, many people do 2-3x master cleanse a year, which is exactly that: a limited calorie prolonged fast. The benefits are astounding: completely healed fatty liver, sustained weight loss, dramatically better flexibility, energy etc.
Keep fallimg asleep while listening and every time I woke up, Dr Fang was saying the same thing. I'm beginning to think this is an AI interview. Say something, then say it again, and again and sgain. He could have done a 30 minute interview and gotten all the pertinent information included.
