Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Stomach Rumbles, ‘Anchoring’ Weight, Stress and Insulin, Body Set Weight, and More.

Episode #167

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

  1. If the stomach rumbles about an hour after having a black coffee, does this mean that the coffee raised insulin? [01:43]
  2. 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]
  3. 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]
  4. 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]
  5. 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]
  6. 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]

Fasting Q&A: Heartburn, Cramps, Bad Breath, Rosacea, and Body Odor

Fasting Q&A: Heartburn, Cramps, Bad Breath, Rosacea, and Body Odor

Episode #113 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. I get heartburn in the afternoon/evening when I am doing an extended fast (24-48hr). Any suggestions on what might help? [02:06] 2. I’ve always had a lot of charley horse type of leg cramps and abdominal muscle cramps. usually these happen more when I’m doing a low-carb diet. However, when I’m fasting these muscle cramps happen far more frequently. The cramps seem to improve and not be as frequent if I am well hydrated but they get worse if I drink a lot of coffee and also of I drink wine on my eating days. Should I be adding more salt perhaps? [07:50] 3. I get restless legs (and arms) most nights when I am trying to get to sleep. Someone suggested taking magnesium. Might this help? [10:40] 4. I get really bad breath when I am fasting. I’m now a bit paranoid about kissing my partner. Help! [21:23]  5. I have rosacea that is managed by diet (not eating certain things) and careful skin care. When I hit 24-26 hours into my fasts, my rosacea goes crazy! My face is red hot, and my skin is bumpy - it’s as bad as if I had eaten hot peppers. It usually lasts 2-3 hours and then goes away. My esthetician says maybe it was an allergy to the green tea I drink in the evenings, but I switched out teas and even cut it out  and it still happened. Fasting is the only consistent thing that causes this flare up and it can’t be a coincidence. Any idea why this happens? [28:01]  6. I have terrible body order coming from my armpits when I fast. I've had to buy special odor-eliminating laundry detergent to get rid of the smell from my clothes. Do you think its just part of fasting and losing weight? I've heard of fat holding estrogen. Is it releasing that IVF estrogen finally (approx 5 years previous) or is it just a perimenopausal changing hormones thing? I don't think the latter because it began when I started ADF again and I don't smell on eating days.
