Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: New 5-Day Fasting Reset, Bitter Greens, Body Set Weight, Kidney Damage, and More

Episode #219

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

  1. I realize the relationship between bitters, incretins, and autophagy is more complex than a direct cause-and-effect relationship. The incretin response doesn’t directly “promote” autophagy - it primarily regulates blood sugar and satiety. Autophagy is mainly triggered by nutrient scarcity and low insulin levels, not by bitter compounds themselves. Can you weigh-in on using bitter greens during this reset? [16:07]
  2. I have had some success lowering weight a couple times using fasting and time restricted eating but the weight creeps back up after a while even with doing TRE. What's nice is that I can get it to go back down again with discipline. I'm wondering what scientific evidence exists that your body set weight can successfully be reset for the long term as mine holds for a while but then wants to creep up and if there's a foolproof method to resetting your body set weight? [19:26]
  3. Your kidney patients who are T2D and close to needing dialysis, but are skinny, I’m assuming they need to fast for about a year to reverse the kidney damage, but how do they do it with so little fat mass? [26:56]
  4. I know that vitamin D is fat soluble and best taken with a meal. I’ve also heard that all supplements are better absorbed when taken with a meal. Is this true? What timeframe is considered “with a meal”? Is it before, during or after the meal? Is vitamin D a stimulant and can disrupt sleep so best taken in the morning? [30:32]
  5. How do you rate the risk of new gallstones formation if a patient already has one or more when it comes to fasting protocols? [33:46]

Fasting Q&A: Food Quality, Plant-Based Diets, and Fiber

Fasting Q&A: Food Quality, Plant-Based Diets, and Fiber

Episode #127 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Nadia answers some of your fasting questions: 1. What are your thoughts on food quality? Should I try and eat grass-fed meats and organic vegetables? How important is it to switch to this top-quality food alongside fasting? [02:21] 2. Is bacon a processed meat? Is having non grass-fed bacon ok because, here in India, we can’t get grass-fed bacon? [05:41] 3. Do you have any tips for fasting on a vegetarian diet? My partner is a vegetarian and I am interested in cutting out meat also, but I am not sure about the nutritional value of meat substitutes like tofu and other plant-based proteins. [07:28]  4. I would love to hear more about fasting with a plant-based diet. I don't avoid fruit or below-ground veggies. I eat nuts and seeds, but no dairy. I have cut out most highly processed foods and I am doing TRE, usually a 16-18 hour fast. There is so much conflicting information about diet! [09:57]  5. I follow a high-fat, low-carb diet on my eating days. I seem to struggle to keep my carbs low while trying to get in my daily fiber. I try to eat as much high-fiber food as possible (like avocados, chia seeds, and vegetables) at each meal. How do you add fiber to your diet while staying low-carb? Should I consider fiber supplements? [13:59] 6. Being that fiber helps to slow the digestion of sugars and fats (therefore decreasing blood glucose spikes), would you recommend taking a daily fiber supplement? What about when fasting? Does it technically break a fast even though the body is not digesting it?
