Episode #180
In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:
Weâre getting more questions about children and insulin resistance. Of course the parents should always check with their pediatrician, but could you speak on what type of diet a child could be on if they start showing signs of a metabolic issue, especially if the mother had gestational diabetes while carrying them? [01:47] If someone lost their sense of smell during COVID, but could smell during a five-day fast, would it be a good idea to keep at it, hopefully, for a permanent restoration of their sense of smell? [04:56] I can't quite make myself fast for more than 24 hrs. In the last three, months I've started eating once a day, mostly every day, with 17 to 24 hours fasting in between. Would I be able to completely reverse the type 2 diabetes if I stick to this way of eating? [08:10] Dr. Fung, in one of your videos you suggested eating your protein and fat ten minutes before eating carbs. How many grams of fat or protein are required? [12:10] Could Dr. Fung discuss Carnivore as an elimination diet, and what his thoughts are about adopting it as a long-term diet? [18:22] I have a CGM and my BG goes up about after my first meal, plateaus at that higher level, goes up even higher after the second meal, and then slowly returns to the original level overnight. Does this mean that my meals are too close together? Should I wait to have the second meal only when my BG returns to the original value after one meal? [23:06] Is it important to have a ketone monitor or CGM? Are blood ketone monitors more accurate? [25:25] It seems to me that just getting one blood test (fasting glucose) to determine if you're pre-diabetic or not could be very misleading, given the variability? [27:39] Why and how do non-caloric, sugar-free, natural sweeteners, such as Atevia and Truvia, raise insulin? [29:26]LINKS

Episode #175
In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:
Is sauerkraut OK for fat fasting or olives only? [03:10] What happens to the body weight set point when we are under stress? [04:11] I recently listened to a podcast from a few years ago where you and Dr. Peter Attia discussed insulin resistance. You said you had evolved your thinking about it and that it was not like a lock and key that didn't fit, but, instead, more like an overflow situation. You described it as a suitcase (the cell) already filled to the point of overflowing with shirts (the glucose), and it just couldn't hold any more, you just couldn't stuff anymore in. You also said that it is hyperinsulinemia that drives metabolic syndrome, not insulin resistance. Is that your current view? [12:13] Does an enema stimulate insulin? For example, a coffee enema with kefir, whey, or other added probiotics. [16:00] When we exercise, our bodies will pump out blood glucose to help with the energy needed. For an insulin resistant person doing hard, aerobic exercise (such as HIIT or run/walk), does the raised blood glucose need insulin to process it? [17:31] When a person is doing regular exercise routines, do they need to replenish glycogen stores after a workout or does the body do this on its own? [19:22] I read an article recently about SGLT inhibitors which said they can stimulate autophagy. Is this true? [24:33] Protein requirements are so confusing. If a person has a lot of weight to lose and they have a lot of excess skin (which is protein you want the body to use to minimize all that loose skin when you are done losing weight), how do they know how much protein to eat? Would they need less protein the more weight they had to lose? Does eating less protein force the body to use the loose skin? Does eating too much or too little protein have consequences? [27:40] I have read some things that say 8 ounces of animal products per week is enough and more than that has negative effects (insulin resistance, elevated bad cholesterol, and other things), and so getting more protein from legumes, nuts, and seeds is a good idea. Also, the type of animal products makes a difference; it is not just the processing, but whether it is organic, pasture-raised, regenerative, etc. I think that it can be easy to interpret that, since saturated fat isn't as bad as we thought, we might eat more animal products or not-so-healthy animal products, and, while it might lower insulin and promote weight loss in the short term, there can be other long-term effects that are not so healthy. Can you comment? [34:19]LINKS

Episode #173
In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions:
Why is it that, when I am consistent with fasting and diet, my PMS and period symptoms (cramps, headaches, and backache) are lessened? Is it to do with insulin? (Jenna from Michigan) [01:30] I keep hearing mixed answers about fasting for PCOS. Some say itâs really beneficial and then others tell me to eat 5-6 small meals a day and not to fast or have coffee on an empty stomach because of the cortisol response. Can you clarify please? I feel better when I fast. Iâm still only fasting 14-18 hours per day and trying to stick to TRE but Iâm afraid Iâm making it worse with my cortisol response. Help! (Amy from South Dakota) [02:45] Iâve been trying to heal my PCOS with ADF for about six weeks now. I have started spotting occasionally and sometimes have shorter periods. Could this mean that my body is healing and trying to self-regulate and get my cycle back to normal? (Sarah from Maryland) [08:12] I take vitamin D daily because my levels were low a few years ago. They have since returned to normal. Since vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, do I have to eat something with it on my fasting days or can I take it without and still get the benefit? (Beth from Nova Scotia) [09:47] Should you eat dark chocolate every day? I read a study that says, âThe research findings suggest that eating 48g of 70% dark chocolate each day may help lower fasting glucose levels and reduce insulin resistance.â Iâve also heard that dark chocolate reduces LDL cholesterol. Do you agree with this? (Michelle from British Columbia) [12:17] I need some mindset help! I am 53 and spent most of my 40s gaining weight. I spent hours and hours every day unhappily thinking about my weight. My doctor told me about TFM and, after four months of TRE and 24,42, 48-hour fasting, I reached my goal weight. I was looking forward to the mind freedom but itâs been nine months now and I am still consumed by thoughts about weight and fasting. I eat whole foods, little sugar and processed foods, and fast 24-48 hours three times a week with TRE the rest of the time. I just want the mental freedom that so many people talk about. Help! [14:46] Iâm a 40-year-old female and have lost 53 pounds following different protocols but mostly intervals of OMADs 3-4 times a week and 2MADS for nearly two years. Recently, Iâve also added one 42-hour fast a week. Iâve noticed that Iâm just not hungry. I end up eating based on the planned windows which are scheduled around workouts and a busy schedule. Should I wait for hunger and so extend my fasts further? I feel more like I *want* to eat than *need* to eat. (Michal from Israel) [18:25] I keep hearing that fasting is different for men and women and that women can actually gain weight if we fast at the wrong times. I am a 48-year-old woman. Is this accurate? [20:33] Do you have any tips for fasting when you have ADHD, specifically, the lack of dopamine and how food can be a source of dopamine. What other ways can we get dopamine, especially in the immediate and easy way eating provides? [22:39]Please Submit Your Questions here: https://bit.ly/TFMPodcastQs

Episode #171
In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:
1. Imagine that I dress the carbs that I eat by adding acid and fat so that my BG spike is minimized. What happens to all the fat that I added? Donât the carbs send the signal for insulin to go up and, consequently, for all the fat I added go directly into body fat? If so, should I minimize the amount of fat that I dress carbs with and mostly just eat them with acid, like vinegar or lemon juice? [01:55]
2. What eating strategy would you suggest for an insulin-resistant or pre-diabetic person? In other words, do they need to low carb to get out of the pre-diabetic range? [08:32]
3. I am struggling with getting my blood sugars down to a normal range and am stalled in my weight loss. I have lost 150 lbs and gotten off insulin and other oral meds. I feel like my way of eating is on point 95% of the time and I am fasting 24-48 hours or longer 2-3 times a week. On my last extended fast, my blood sugar didnât come down until day 3 and then started going up every day. By day 5, my blood sugar was 189. I broke my fast with whole, low-carb foods and my blood sugar came down to the 140s where it likes to live these days. I'm wondering why, so far into my journey, things would start going wonky. I do have a lot of personal and family stress happening right now. Could that be generating enough cortisol to be negating my diet and fasting or are there other explanations that could be contributing? [16:44]
4. Do you have any evidence (empirical or otherwise) on fasting, autophagy, and reduced carbohydrate intake for people with ADPKD (Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease)? [20:23]
5. Can patients with gallstones fast? Does it increase the risk of gallstones? [24:57]
6. I know seed oils are not recommended but what do you think about cold pressed niger seed oil? Avocado oil is not readily available in my country, and I cannot use butter or animal fat everyday as there are a minimum of 180 religious fasts a year. These fasts prohibit dairy products and meat, so we are basically vegans during these fasts. [30:36]
7. Why do some people (who have never missed a meal in their life and suddenly start a multi-day fast) get very high ketones and have to break their fast? [34:32]

Episode #167
In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:
If the stomach rumbles about an hour after having a black coffee, does this mean that the coffee raised insulin? [01:43] Is insulin released only when the food is in the mouth? It feels like when a big, heavy meal is in the stomach for hours I could still add a supplement or snack to it and it wouldnât make a difference, but would there be an additional insulin release? [02:54] I have read that it is recommended to âanchorâ your weight after a 10% reduction in BF%. Can you say a bit more about this? I presume you would âanchor' by scaling back on fasting, and adjusting frequency and intensity in response to any changes in BF% so as to keep it stable. But what happens if you go all the way in one go? Do you need to âanchor' for longer at the lower BF% in order for it to become your new set weight or does the research say itâs not possible to reset it that low if you didnât pause along the way? [03:35] Is it true that a longer fast (or intense exercise) can stress your body, causing insulin to go up, and, therefore, might even be counterproductive? [14:08] One of the biggest effects of blood glucose and insulin spikes is the damage to small blood vessels. These spikes damage the organs that predominantly rely on small vasculature like kidneys, eyes, nerves in fingers and toes, leading to complications like diabetic kidney failure, macular degeneration, and neuropathy. Hyperinsulinemia is really a microvascular disease. Could you please share how you explain this process to non-medical folks? I fail to explain to my family members in layperson terms exactly what it is about the spikes of BG and insulin that damages the small blood vessels. [16:24] In The Obesity Code, you wrote about a study where they overfed people to get them to gain weight. The study showed that they had a hard time putting weight on because their bodies knew to burn it off. So my question is, if our bodies experience this effect as per the study, what signs would there be (such as raised temperature and/or heart rate) to get our body to burn the extra calories consumed?

SUMMER BREAK As Terri takes a couple of weeks away from her podcast duties, please enjoy a replay of one of the most popular episodes.
Episode #166 (#137)
In this episode Nadia and Terri dive deep into why so many of us struggle to make progress and therefore stay stuck in the uncomfortable space of starting/stopping, or how many of us push ourselves so hard that we can't sustain consistently to see the lasting results.
Tune in to find out how our brain can sometimes trip us up when it comes to motivation because of its love for novelty, and why so many people start the New Year with good intentions but struggle to maintain that momentum for long enough to see lasting results.
How do we change our mindset to overcome these issues? Terri shares some great analogies to help adjust our mindset and behaviour and take confident steps towards the success we have been looking for, and Nadia reinforces the importance of taking a step-by-step approach towards therapeutic fasting that starts with, of course, TRE (time-restricted eating).

SUMMER BREAK
As Terri takes a couple of weeks away from her podcast duties and after Coach Lisa's episode last week about cortisol-lowering techniques, it seemed like a good time to remind podcast listeners about Coach Lisa's story.
Episode #165 (#35)
In today's episode, Megan and Nadia interview their colleague, Coach Lisa Chance, a retired RN. Megan and Nadia chat to Lisa about how she started fasting and all of her successes over the last 4 years. Listen in to hear Lisa talk about:
- how TRE (time-restricted eating) is the foundation of her journey
- how she lost over 160 lbs in total, but, more importantly, how she has kept it off
- how she went from a size 26 to a size 10 and her waist is down 22 inches
- how she reversed SO MANY health concerns that she created a list of NSV (non-scale victories) for our community to look forward to
Lastly, listen in as Coach Lisa (in the most touching of ways) tells us how she started working for The Fasting Method program and all the amazing things she does in our community.

Episode #163
In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: I have a Lumen device and they talk about a fasting âsweet spotâ. They say that if you fast for too long, then your body might get stressed and go back into carb burning, and that if you test with the Lumen every two hours, you can see this switch from carb burning to fat burning and then possibly back to carb burning â in which case it could be a good idea to stop the fast, perhaps doing more shorter fasts to maximize fat burning. Is this true? [01:57]
I have heard conflicting reports about lemon in water and herbal teas breaking your fast. Do they will interfere with autophagy, if that is your main goal? [08:47] Is it known if there is an order in which fat is burned during fasting? For example, is the recently-gained fat burned first and the oldest last, or visceral vs subcutaneous? [10:52] My doctor is not discouraging fasting but dismissed it as another means of cutting calories. How can I explain concisely why fasting works but calorie reduction diets donât? [13:55] What are your thoughts on using GLP-1 drugs in conjunction with fasting? [21:25] Any suggestions for successful fasting protocols for individuals, post gastric sleeve (3 years)? [23:45] In his book The Obesity Code, Dr. Jason Fung explains that a large percentage of obesity is genetically determined. Could the outcome of the research also be explained by us getting addicted to sugar before we are born if our mother consumes sugar? [24:56] Since fish oil contains no protein and thus should not trigger mTOR, isnât it the best fasting aid as it is both and-inflammatory and calming? [29:38] I know that in some studies in the past they have showed that not having an âup dayâ after a full fasting day in ADF would lead to a decrease in BMR. Do we still believe this to be true? If I did a 48-hour fast, ate one meal, and then fasted for 24 hours right after, and it wasnât difficult, am I ultimately decreasing my BMR? [30:37]Please note that you need to be a member of the TFM Community to submit questions to the Q&A webinars with Dr. Fung but you can submit questions to our regular Q&A episodes here: https://bit.ly/TFMPodcastQs
