Dr. Jason Fung about the “fad of fasting”
Why is fasting good? How can it be a great treatment for diabetes and obesity? And why is the advice to “snack all day long” outdated and misguided?
There’s nobody who’s better at explaining this in simple terms than Dr. Jason Fung. Here’s a new interview by Ivor Cummins.

In the last 12 months or so, I have moved to the stricter low carb diet outlined on this site and other resources such as the Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Diet and the results on my BG levels are fantastic! My last HBA1c result in June 2016 was 5.5% and in the last two months I have taken zero Bolus or Basal insulin with regual BG values between 4.0 - 7.0 mmol. Looking forward to my next HBA1c check in two weeks, I expect the it to be <5.5%. Also, since moving to this stricter low carb approach, I have no requirement for snacking between meals because I am not hungry at ALL! I typically get hungry 6 hours after each meal, but I can go without a meal if needed (of course because I am not taking any insulin at the moment). Some days I do the 16:8 intermittent fasting, but most days I do 12:12 with 3 meals, mainly because I still love good food and I go to the gym 4-5 times per week.
Love the talk and this approach is definitely working for me!
