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: 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?
