Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: The Dawn Effect, Smart Scales, Kombucha, Cortisol/Stress, Nausea from Salt, Fat Adaptation, and More.

Episode #154

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

  1. 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]
  2. 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]
  3. What’s your take on kombucha? [09:35]
  4. 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]
  5. 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]
  6. 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]
  7. 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]
  8. 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]
  9. How do I know when I’m fat-adapted?[23:37]
  10. If someone has high triglycerides, is it a pretty good guess that they also have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? [26:07]
  11. 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]
  12. 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]

Fasting Q&A: Flavored Coffee, Feeling Cold, Menstruation, and Switching Up Your Fasts

Fasting Q&A: Flavored Coffee, Feeling Cold, Menstruation, and Switching Up Your Fasts

Episode #9 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. I find that drinking black regular/unflavoured coffee is hard (on my stomach as well as well as on my stamina!!!) but I find it easier to drink black flavored coffee so that I don't have to add milk to it which would be my preference. By flavored, I mean the beans are flavoured (the company says that even their flavored coffees have only 5 calories in a cup of coffee). I do not add flavored syrups. Is it OK to drink flavored coffee or does it break my fast? [01:36] 2. Fasting during menstrual cycle? [22:45] 3. Feeling so cold during a fast that it stops you continuing. [14:18]  4. Since I’m not losing weight on the 16:8 fasts after two months, I want to start 24 hours of fasting. What will happen in, let’s say a year, when I hopefully lose weight and get off some meds and go back to just 16:8. Will I regain the weight and will 24 hours of fasting be a lifetime thing?  [33:49]  Have questions you want us to answer?

Fasting Q&A: Ending an Extended Fast, OMAD, Keto and Low-Carb, and More

Episode #005 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. When should you end an extended fast? [00:30] 2. I am starting a 30:16 cycle and hope to move onto a 3x42. I have about 10 pounds more to lose. I feel very satisfied with one meal a day and 800 calories, but I am concerned that I might damage my metabolism if I go very long on OMAD (one meal a day). Is that something that is OK or should I make sure I get more calories 3 or 4 days a week? [09:08] 3. When doing one-meal-a-day, how much should you eat and/or how long should you eat? [17:50] 4. When it is said, “Intermittent fasting is not about diet,” why are we told to do keto or low-carbohydrate diets? [24:56] Have questions you want us to answer?
