  I fast for 22-23 hours per day for everyday and have one large meal around 6pm-8pm. I exercise 3 times per week and have them before I break my fast. After more than 8 months of practicing this, I have gone from 104kg (230lbs) to 81kg (181lbs). It is not much weight loss in those duration but I felt the healthiest I have ever been in my life at age 28 years. I felt that I have so much energy exercising during fasting state compare to consume meals before a workout. Having this, I encourage more people to fast and exercise. Dr Fung really knows this stuff!!!

  Thank you. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 22 months ago while in the hospital four days with pancreatitis. I have been taking Basaglar and Humalog since then. First 25 units of Basaglar each morning for about a year, then increasing to 35 units, then a few weeks ago my doctor said to increase to 50 units each morning. I thought.. this is ridiculous (and expensive), there has to be a better way. Then I found Dr. Fung on YouTube and watched probably 15-20 of his videos, including several conference presentations. He really spoke to me and I ordered The Complete Guide to Fasting and The Diabetes Code. I finished The Diabetes Code a week ago...what an amazing explanation of what&apos;s going on inside my body. I have been doing 18/6 intermittent fasting for about 3 weeks, eating around 1000 calories around noon and another 1000 calories around 6PM. I have already lost 15 pounds and 4/4/22 was my first day without any insulin in almost two years. This is the best I&apos;ve felt in a long time and now am excited with hope!

  I am on a 14 day water fast. I finished day 5 with a huge 3 hour hike in the colorado mountains 14000 ft elevation. And it was the most easiest hike ive ever done! My knees didnt hurt at all (which is a first for me). I had boundless energy. And i just felt AMAZING. And more spiritually intuned. And once we got baxk. Didnt have the urge to eat. Its amazing. Water fasting is amazing! And im not even sore! And my mosquito bites faded away quickly. Mind blown!!!

  I have lost over 75 pounds. Down from 305.<br><br>I Intermittent fast all day while working my construction job, and then eat between 5ish to 9ish. I also eat normally every weekend. Though I still almost naturally eat a lot less during the day even on non IF days.<br><br>This has been amazing for me. I LOVE intermittent fasting. <br><br>Has anyone noticed that IF totally changes your relationship with eating?? <br>I don&apos;t even think about or desire to eat in my fasting periods. Huge for an over eater like me.<br><br>Thanks for all your advice in and info Dr. Fung

  When I first started exercising while fasting, &nbsp;I was a bit concerned on how my body was going to react. 3 years later of doing weight training and &nbsp;cardio while fasted has resulted in the best shape of my life. I&apos;m 44 amd feel amazing. Tons of energy, no bloating and zero joint pain inflammation. My Tennis elbow and lower back pain have disappeared. 👍

  I&apos;ve noticed that when I fast, the more I move, the better I feel. Plus, my motivation to get up and be active is higher. Does anyone else have a similar effect, or is it different in some way?

  Great video again! &nbsp;I didn&apos;t feel well enough to exercise until I lost my first 60-70lbs. &nbsp;Then I remember listening to one of your podcasts where you said to exercise as usual so I started back swimming last spring, about this time last year actually. &nbsp;I&apos;m so glad I did! &nbsp;It felt sooo good and I&apos;ve kept it up since and still swim laps twice a week. &nbsp;I actually feel my best and swim faster on my longer fasting days. I&apos;ve ended up losing over 150lbs, even got my lifeguarding certification and now I&apos;m working at my pool! &nbsp;What an amazing transformational experience. &nbsp;I&apos;m loving my new life ❤️🙏😊. Thank you for all you do
