Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Broccolini, Metformin, Exercise and Weight Loss, and More

Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Broccolini, Metformin, Exercise and Weight Loss, and More

Episode #149

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

  1. I’ve heard you’ve written an amazing book called, “The Cancer Code.” I haven’t read it yet, but wanted to hear your thoughts on broccolini being an anti-cancer food. I understand it contains Sulforaphane, Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), Glucosinolates, Vitamin C, and fiber. Should I concentrate on cruciferous vegetables, like broccolini, or just work on getting a balanced diet? What are your thoughts? [02:14]
  2. I have a little confusion about the difference between taking metformin and injecting insulin. From what I've read in your books it's that insulin is going to make type 2 diabetes worse in the long run. I already know that that’s not the answer to reverse type two diabetes and I’m not taking either one. Like insulin, will metformin also be detrimental to treat T2D or is there a difference between one and the other - and why, please? [05:27]
  3. What do they mean by 'immunoreactive insulin'? [12:06]
  4. Does the liver respond negatively to the ingestion of supplements? In other words, do the supplements cause any changes in my insulin? [14:52]
  5. I started TRE (beginning Jan this year) at about 135 pounds and am now doing 24-hour fasts with OMAD and 2MAD. I have completed a 42-hour fast and will probably try another one this week. I am eating whole foods. Avocados are my miracle!!! I do not snack between meals. My body is still releasing weight with what I am doing now and I feel I have another 5 pounds to go. How will I know when to stop shedding the weight? [18:13]
  6. Can you clarify the role of physical activity and exercise in weight loss? In The Obesity Code, you shared that a number of rigorous clinical trials demonstrate that exercise contributes minimally, if at all, to weight loss. However, zone 2 exercise is promoted for its'fat burnin' benefits. I plan to continue exercising for its health-promoting benefits but I would really like to hear your take on the extent to which it can assist with weight loss, and what exercise types you recommend for weight loss. [21:56]
  7. On non-fasting days, what is Dr. Fung’s chosen style of eating? [29:46]

Fasting Q&A: Low BG, Night Sweats, Nightshift Workers, Feeling Sleepy, and Thyroid Meds.

Fasting Q&A: Low BG, Night Sweats, Nightshift Workers, Feeling Sleepy, and Thyroid Meds.

Episode #87 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I’m a healthy female with low blood sugars when extended fasting. Is this normal, should I be worried, can this be fixed? [03:03] 2. How do I handle night sweats during menopause? Will fasting help with this? [09:20] 3. What are your tips for nightshift workers who are fasting? [14:03]  4. During my long fast, after about 24 hours I begin to have an achy feeling on one side of my back, around the kidney area. It's uncomfortable enough to get my attention but not super painful. I do not get this feeling at any other time. What could be causing it, and should I be concerned? [19:29]  5. Heading into the evening on the first full day of the fast I often find myself not able to concentrate on anything and sometimes feel sleepy. After a night's sleep, however, I feel great and am able to focus just fine. Is this normal, or is there something I can be doing to avoid the brain fog? [23:19] 6. Do you need to stop thyroid medication while fasting?

Fasting Q&A: Mindset and Behavior Questions With Dr Terri Lance

Fasting Q&A: Mindset and Behavior Questions With Dr Terri Lance

Episode #86 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Terri answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I have built a successful fasting muscle (as you all refer to it), but I find that I’m still not making progress because I throw out all my healthy eating knowledge when it comes to my eating days. Help! [02:02] 2. Why is it so hard to do what I know I should do? I have read and listened to just about everything Megan Ramos and Jason Fung have done. What the heck is wrong with me? [08:12]  3. I recently participated in the Healthy Habits and Mindset Keys Masterclass. I have been working to change my habits and address some of my underlying mindset pieces, but sometimes struggle to see how it is all connected to being more successful. [16:24]   4. I started fasting prior to all of the pandemic stay-at-home orders. I did pretty well and then actually made a lot of progress while I worked from home and stopped socialising around food.  But ever since restrictions were lifted, I have not been able to get back to my focused approach that helped me so much in 2020 to the end of 2021. Do you have any suggestions that can help me to get back on track? I’ve gained about 15- 20 pounds of the weight I lost and I’m afraid I will keep gaining.
