  • 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 wouldn’t make a difference, but would there be an additional insulin release? [02:54] I have read that it is recommended to ‘anchor’ your weight after a 10% reduction in BF%. Can you say a bit more about this? I presume you would ‘anchor' 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 ‘anchor' for longer at the lower BF% in order for it to become your new set weight or does the research say it’s not possible to reset it that low if you didn’t 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? [22:57]

  • 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 ‘sweet spot’. 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 – 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 don’t? [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, isn’t 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 “up day” 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 wasn’t difficult, am I ultimately decreasing my BMR? [30:37]

  • Episode #158

    In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:

    Does fasting help with not choking for an impacted oesophagus? [01:58] I have been struggling with my fasting due to terrible headaches that last days after 36-hour fasts. I've been put on a bunch of supplements to support me with detoxification including liver supplements, B vitamins, and activated charcoal, but I find that these can sometimes make the headaches worse. I've been advised to do shorter fasts but this doesn't result in any weight loss. Any idea how I can move past this? [03:36] How many meals between fasts is ideal for weight loss? Two or three meals a day? [07:21] I understand how excess carbohydrates can be stored as fat (via insulin)., but I'm having a hard time understanding how dietary fat is utilised and stored if we go low carb and increase our fat intake. Isn't dietary fat stored as fat? I am confused about how we are able to burn body fat while eating more dietary fat. [09:25] Which fasting protocols would you recommend for people who have a low BMI but still have insulin resistance? [13:09] Does miso soup break a fast? It would be a great source of salt and I prefer savory drinks to sour. [15:33] I got a CGM so that I could see my glucose response to various foods. Is it correct to assume/conclude that, if I see an increase or spike in glucose, there will be a corresponding increase in insulin? And, conversely, if I do not see an increase in glucose, there is little or no increase in insulin? Could there be a situation where glucose does not go up but insulin does? Is there a correlation between an increase in ketones and a decrease in insulin? [16:41] I’ve measured consistently high in oxalate on an OAT test over the last decade. I’ve read that oxalates are difficult to measure in the body, outside of stones which I'm hoping to preempt. Will fasting, detoxing, releasing toxins help reduce high oxalates? [18:03] Fasts longer than 48 hours have triggered inflammation in individual finger joints. Is that a potentially common way for detoxing or autophagy to present (meaning, the specific, targeted area rather than more broad based)? [19:59] Could you please address the subject of metabolic flexibility? Is it possible to be too fat adapted? [21:22] Since cancer is a disease of too much growth and fasting slows down growth, why is it not a good addition to *most* chemo therapies when the patient has sufficient fat mass to allow for fasting? [24:45] In their book, Brain Energy, Dr. Chris Palmer talks about how ketones are beneficial for brain function. In your Toronto clinic, back in the day, did the patients who fasted under your and Megan Ramos's supervision anecdotally report mental health improvements as they progressed through therapeutic fasting regimens? [30:42] Why do different people need potentially drastically different amounts of magnesium supplementation when they eat the same foods? My partner and I are almost identical age and weight, and have the same activity level and diet. They do not benefit at all from magnesium supplementation, while I need almost four times the recommended daily dose to feel good and not have muscle cramps. [32:21]

  • Episode #154

    In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:

    If someone is glucose sensitive, not insulin resistant, with an A1C of under 5.0, would they still have a dawn effect happen? If they did, what would the dawn effect bump in glucose possibly be? [02:12] I have a smart scale. In addition to weight, it has metabolic rate, body fat %, etc. I am interested in knowing if the relative changes (as opposed to the absolute number) would be useful to know. Similarly, I am interested in reducing visceral fat. If that number goes down by 10%, might that be a helpful indicator about the direction that things are going in and whether what I am doing is working? [05:56] What’s your take on kombucha? [09:35] I read a book named “The One Minute Cure: The Secret to Healing Virtually All Diseases.” It is a therapy with H2O2 in Food Grade of 35% or 3% (diluted in Distilled Water). I have tried this therapy and every time I test my blood sugar after 30 minutes of taking it, it lowers my blood sugar by more than 17 mg/dL. I was wondering if you have studied this therapy and what you think about it? [11:32] I find it easier to fast during work. However, I have a stressful job with long hours. Could cortisol/high stress be negating the benefits of the fast? Would I be better off using TRE and save fasting for my off days? [13:08] This month’s TFM Group Challenge is ‘Giving Up Your Vices’. Megan’s first video discussed A2 dairy. What is your take on this and what is the appropriate amount of A2 dairy each day? I know Coach Nadia says ‘sparingly’, but it’s not clear what that means when it comes to sheep/goat/A2 dairy. Does it matter what kind of dairy it is if it’s still all insulinogenic? [15:13] I’ve tried many different forms of salt and even tried making my own salt capsules, yet, without fail, I end up feeling nauseous shortly after taking it. Is there anything else I can do to quell the nausea? Do some people just not need salt or have a medical reason why salt makes them nauseous? Is there anything else I can try? [19:06] How high should a [blood sugar] spike be after meals, and when should your blood sugar levels return to the pre-meal range? [21:46] How do I know when I’m fat-adapted?[23:37] If someone has high triglycerides, is it a pretty good guess that they also have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? [26:07] Do you have any tips on how I can do intermittent fasting without losing weight? My goal is to lower my A1C and be less dependent on medication while improving my health. [28:02] I am a lifetime vegetarian and have always eaten very clean, whole foods. I have been fasting since 1979 and I easily fast for weeks, change up the fasting protocol, etc, but the pounds just will not budge. How can I use fasting to drop this weight? [30:39]

  • Episode #152

    In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions:

    1. I have just started fasting and am struggling to extend my fasts to 36 hours as I have two small children and we eat dinner together every day. Any tips? [01:57]

    2. I do IF five days a week, a 36-hour fast and no fasting on the other two days. I feel fantastic and the weight is coming off, However, my hair has recently started thinning. I’ve heard this could be because fasting is a stressor on the body. I also work out 3-4 times a week and have two jobs, one of which is pretty stressful and high pressure. Is the weekly 36-hour fast just too much for me? [07:40]

    3. I’ve progressed into a 3x42 protocol over three months and the NSVs and systemic healing has been miraculous! I’ve not seen a weight or body-fat decrease over the last four weeks after a 25-pound loss in the first few months. Is a plateau this long normal? [12:25]

    4. Would you recommend leaning heavily into fat fasting when initially trying to establish a pattern of therapeutic fasting? I am finding it easier to do longer fasts (24 hours+) when I fat fast beforehand, but have some concern that maybe this could have long-term implications. It almost seems like ‘dieting’ which will end once the therapeutic level of fasting ends and then I will have to reestablish another eating pattern? [16:16]

    5. I quit coffee a few months ago as it was affecting my sleep and I would also experience extreme sugar cravings 1-2 hours after drinking it. Since stopping coffee, I have noticed similar effects with green and black tea plus I also get the jitters and an increased heart rate. Most recently, I have been getting insomnia after eating dark chocolate. Clearly, I am becoming more sensitive to caffeine! Is this common for fasters? Or maybe it is age related? I’m a 43-year-old woman. [20:50]

    6. I have been fasting for almost two years (alternate-day fasting). I notice it takes longer for me to digest meals now vs before I started fasting. Is this normal and does this mean it also takes me longer to get into a fasted state now? [24:59]

    7. I need help with keto breath/tongue! I’ve tried drinking more water, mouth wash, tongue scrapers, food-grade hydrogen peroxide mixed with water. No change! I makes me gag so much I just want to eat to make it stop! The only thing I haven’t tried is oil pulling. Help! [28:51]
