Dr. Jason Fung provides a detailed description of the physiology of fasting, what happens to our body as we stop eating. Knowing this may help you lose weight. The body transitions by first using glucose from the food. In the second stage, it breaks down glycogen into glucose. In the third stage, it uses protein to make glucose, a phase called gluconeogenesis. After that, the body sustains itself mainly on stored fat. Check out my blog at https://medium.com/@drjasonfung

For decades, we were told to follow the Food Pyramid. We were told to eat 6-11 servings of bread and pasta a day and fear dietary fat. We followed the rules. But instead of getting healthier, the world got sicker and more obese. Why?
In this video, I expose the truth behind one of the biggest failures in modern nutrition—the Food Pyramid. We explore how the 1977 dietary guidelines, though well-intentioned, were based on shaky science that demonized healthy fats and pr...

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.

Most people are told that “weight loss = calorie deficit.” But the truth is, a calorie
deficit is a myth. Your body is not a simple calculator where you just subtract
calories and lose fat. In this video, Dr. Jason Fung explains the science behind
why focusing only on calories fails, and why hormones, insulin, and fat
metabolism are the real keys to healthy and lasting weight loss.
When people try extreme dieting or drug-induced appetite suppression, they
often experience side effects like the dreaded “Ozempic face” — hollow cheeks,
sagging skin, and an unhealthy...

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.

Why do so many people struggle with weight loss even when they carefully count calories?
