Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Ketones, Fat Adaptation, Carb Loading Before Surgery, Survival Genes, Dairy, and More

Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Ketones, Fat Adaptation, Carb Loading Before Surgery, Survival Genes, Dairy, and More

Episode #144

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

  1. I’ve known for a long time how neuroprotective ketones are for the brain, but, wow, what ketones do for the heart is amazing, especially the failing heart. Could you elaborate, Dr. Fung? [02:15]
  2. Do you need to be in ketosis to burn fat and does being in at least a low level of nutritional ketosis help you go into autophagy sooner? [04:39]
  3. Why does it take such a long time to become fat adapted? [07:20]
  4. I’ve heard that fasting “turns on” survival genes. Can you tell us a little more about this? [09:25]
  5. What are your thoughts about the new recommendation to carb load before surgery to “calm” someone? [11:12]
  6. Is there any correlation between fasting and pulse rate? [12:58]
  7. I have a diabetic friend who is participating in a study on duodenal mucosa resurfacing (DMR) as a treatment for T2D. Does Dr. Fung have any take on this pretty new procedure or explanation of how and why it works? [13:17]
  8. If a person wants the benefit of therapeutic fasting (like autophagy) but they do not have adequate body fat for longer fasts (for example, a TOFI person with a fatty liver, or somebody at 30% body fat who needs a lot of autophagy for an autoimmune condition), How should they eat on eating days to be able to maintain a therapeutic fasting schedule like an alternate-day fasting protocol? [16:33]
  9. What are the signs of a histamine intolerance and can it get worse over time? Does fasting help? [17:53]
  10. If autophagy is mostly switched on by the presence of mTor, could a person (in principle) eat a zero protein diet and eat exclusively fat but still ramp up autophagy enough for some protein recycling to aid loose skin reduction, macular problems, skin tags, etc.? [18:45]
  11. How do you get rid of visceral fat? [20:22]
  12. How long does the effect of dairy on insulin last? [21:45]
  13. Why is it easier for women to do longer fasts after they’ve had a small amount of tubers during the last meal before their fast? [24:41]

Fasting Q&A: Eating and Fasting Patterns for Kids, Fasting After Weight-Loss Surgery, Bloating, and More

Fasting Q&A: Eating and Fasting Patterns for Kids, Fasting After Weight-Loss Surgery, Bloating, and More

Episode #103 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I have two preschool aged children and I really want to set them up for life with a healthy relationship with food. Obviously, I don’t think we should fast children but  I have noticed that their lives revolve around their mealtimes and snacks. Is TRE something that would benefit them? At what age should we implement this? [03:21] 2. I have 12 and 16-year-old girls. There are so many body image influences out there. I am concerned if they see me doing extended fast that they will not understand why I am doing it or that they might develop an eating disorder. [13:16] 3. My daughter is 13 years old, tall, slender and active/a multi-sport athlete with no weight-related concerns. She started her period about 6 months ago and luckily it’s been pretty regular and she’s managing it very well. The only hormonal issue I’m noticing so far is that she’s struggling pretty badly with acne on her face and upper back. I just want her to be happy and healthy and to fuel her body appropriately, especially during all these hormonal changes her body is going through. [22:42]  4. My wife says she can't fast with me because she had weight loss surgery (about two years ago). She would like to do low carb/keto-ish/fasting with me but says she can't eat enough in a meal to last her 5 or 6 hours. Is there a protocol for fasting with a smaller stomach or it is not recommended? [30:07]  5. When I fast for 36 hours (which up to now has been my longest fasting period) I gain five pounds during the day when I start eating again. I feel bloated and very unwell. I suspect it is water retention as it goes away on the next day. Is this normal? [35:20] 6. My question relates to a previous episode where Nadia mentioned that the smell of food can cause an insulin response. As someone who has insulin resistance and happens to be a professional chef, that news was alarming! Is this actually the case, or did I hear that wrong?
