Dr. Jason Fung | How Fasting Bridges the Weight Loss Gap When Calorie Co...

Dr. Jason Fung has joined us for a third time on the Keto Kamp Podcast, and this time we’re talking about how fasting bridges the weight loss and fat loss gap when calorie counting fails (and it almost always does). We’ll dive into why the theory of calories in vs calories out is antiquated and a total MYTH, why calorie counting doesn’t work, what stands in the way of your results and how intermittent fasting can get you to the finish line or your body and health transformation goals. We’ll also discuss how insulin plays a role in body mass and body fat and what people with type 2 diabetes can do to reverse it (yes, type 2 diabetes is reversible!)

Lumen & Me

Arggggg Still struggling ..ugh! So here we go!. I think it’s important to provide some insight & personal reflection on this new metabolic device that I had recently purchased. I call the Lumen device my accountability tool ; as it seems like all this tool is actually doing for me at this time is reading a printout of my current metabolism, and not that much more. It’s been just over  two…

✨💫Two years, one day apart.💫✨ On the left, we had just left the gym where I had completed a 30 minute circuit course, an hour of water aerobics in the pool and was going home to a snack of sugar free fat free pudding and frustration that my body hurt and the scale wouldn't move.😪😩😓 On paper, by Weight Watchers standards, I was meeting all the metrics that before helped me lose 100 pounds. This time, I had hit a wall of highest proportions and it was shortly after this when I had to face a decision of surgical assisted weight loss or ...uh, was there any other decision? One random stab in the dark to try fasting with a low carb to assist with #painmanagement and #lifewitharthritis that things turned around and the weight came off. 💥💥 Now, here I am confident that I will actually finish this weight loss journey and reach a #healthybmi! 🧚That experience was a reaffirmation to be mindful of hard and fast opinions. You don't always know how the next life changing door will open.🧚 We are all stepping into this fray with varying and unique mental and physical health profiles, lifestyles and obligations. It makes sense that our paths with be formed with our unique footprint, . . . . . . #weightlossblogger #MotivationMonday #beforeandafter #weightlosscomparison #weightlosstransformation #ww #naturalweightloss #lowcarbhighfat #drfung #obesitycode #idm #intermittentfastingcommunity #adf #over100poundslost #over40weightloss #over100lbslost #losingweight #extremeweightlossjourney #dbt #supersupermorbidobesity #degenerativediscdisease #degenerativejointdisease #selfie #weightlossgoals #weightlosstransformation (at California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0M9APDgKWQ/?igshid=d8tqfgxjn9ku

Just saving for later. I recently bought this book.

A book by dr. Fung: The Obesity Code - Part 1

This book changed my life. I’m listening to the audio version and writing like crazy…

Here’s part one, enjoy :)

False assumptions in caloric reduction theories: -    1. “Calories in minus calories out equals fat.” Calories in and out are not independent of each other. Decreasing calories in triggers decreasing calories out. -    2. “Basal metabolic rate is stable, and we can control energy expenditure.” We can easily measure the calories intake but measuring energy expenditure is complicated. Total energy expenditure is the sum of the basal metabolic rate, the thermogenic effect of food, non-exercise activity, active post-exercise oxygen consumption, and exercise. The basal metabolic rate can go up and down for as much as 50%. -    3. “We can consciously control eating and fat loss.” Hormones control everything in our bodies. Body fat is under automatic body control, just like breathing or heartbeat. Obesity is a hormonal disease, not a caloric disorder. -    4. “Fat stores are essentially unregulated.” Blood sugars are regulated by hormones insulin and glucagon, leptin, cortisol, and several others.   -    5. “A calorie is a calorie.” This is true like a dog is a dog. But different food causes a different metabolic and hormonal response. Sugar increases blood glucose levels and provokes an insulin response from the pancreas. Olive oil does not.

What causes weight gain? Not calories, insulin causes weight gain. If you give insulin to lean people, they will get fat. Fasting insulin levels are 20% higher in obese subjects. The major culprits of obesity are high insulin levels and insulin resistance. And time is a contributing factor. The longer you are fat the harder it is to lose weight. Higher insulin levels lead to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance leads to even higher levels of insulin. Vicious circle.  

What causes high insulin?

1. Food. All food raises insulin, but some dangerously so: refined carbohydrates, sugar, artificial sweeteners. 2. Time of eating: eating all the time keeps insulin high at all times. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, pre-workout shake, post-workout bar, dinner, a little night time snack…

3. Insulin resistance.

Carbohydrates Carbs are not inherently fattening. Unrefined carbohydrates contain fiber, like all the vegetables and fruit, but also wild rice etc.

The toxicity of carbs lies in the way they are processed. Refining concentrates the carbohydrates. By removing fat, fiber and protein these carbs can be digested very quickly. Blood sugar and insulin levels spike within minutes. Refining encourages overconsumption.

Sugar and other sweeteners

-    Glucose: It raises blood sugar and it stimulates the production of insulin, like all refined carbohydrates. Glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver. Once it’s full, excess glucose is stored like fat. -    Fructose: sugar, found in fruit. It’s metabolized only in the liver and does not circulate the blood. The brain, muscles and other tissues can’t use fructose directly for energy. It doesn’t raise blood sugar. BUT excessive fructose puts significant pressure on the liver, where it’s rapidly metabolized into glucose and glycogen. If there’s too much fructose, the liver can’t metabolize it and turns the excess straight into fat. High level of fructose causes fatty liver. Fatty liver is crucial for developing insulin resistance. -    Sucrose (table sugar):  50 % glucose and 50 % fructose. It plays a dual role in obesity. It does all the bad that glucose does and all the bad that fructose does – together. Twice as bad as glucose. -    High fructose corn syrup (55% fructose and 45% glucose), a liquid equivalent of sucrose. It’s found in most processed foods (sauces, cakes, bread, ketchup, soft drinks…) -    Stevia: zero calories, it’s pure fructose. It raises insulin – a lot. -    Agave nectar: from the agave plant, 80% fructose -    Artificial sweeteners: they don’t raise blood sugar, but they all raise insulin! And they are toxic, carcinogens etc. like saccharine, aspartame, sucralose…

How about fruit? Fruit, of course, contains fructose, but the amount in one orange is nothing compared to drinking orange juice. A glass of juice contains 5 oranges. Also, fruit in its natural form contains fiber.

Good stuff, right?

Part 2 coming tomorrow.

Repost from @drjasonfung • #Repost @drjamesdinic (@get_repost) ・・・ The problem with table salt is that it is refined, bleached, and contains zero trace minerals. - The benefits of @redmondrealsalt include ✅Unrefined. ✅Low microplastic contamination (unlike many other sea salts) as it is from an ancient dried up ocean 500 feet below the Earths surface. ✅Contains real iodine (not artificially added potassium iodide) ✅Full of trace minerals like calcium and magnesium - Salt is vital for health and helps with ✅Exercise - The average person sweats out a half a teaspoon of salt per hour of exercise. ✅Sauna, steam baths, hot climates - replenishes what is lost in sweat. ✅Keto diets - The reduction in carbs leads to lower insulin levels causing the kidneys to spill out salt ✅Fasting - The kidneys continue to spill salt during fasting due to low insulin levels. ✅Eating real food - salt allows people to eat real food, making food taste better, especially bitter foods such as greens, nuts, and seeds, which also tend to be high in other healthy minerals like potassium and magnesium. - The harms of low-salt diets include ✅Dizziness - low blood volume causing dizziness and lightheadedness especially when rising from a standing position. ✅Elevated heart rate. ✅Poor exercise performance -including work out headaches, weakness and muscle twitching/muscle spasms. ✅Elevated stress hormones - noradrenaline and adrenaline. ✅Elevated artery-stiffening hormones - such as angiotensin-2, renin and aldosterone. ✅Elevated insulin levels - low salt diets can lead to insulin resistance and elevated insulin levels equal to that of high sugar diets. ✅Magnesium deficiency - low salt diets have consistently been shown to cause magnesium (and also potassium and calcium) deficiency as the body will pull sodium (but also magnesium and calcium) from bone to maintain normal sodium levels in the blood. - How do you get your healthy salt each day? - Eat well.

My tasty, ugly dinner - Pan Seared Ham, Roasted Asparagus, a crispy Fried Egg, tired with a little parmesan. Also, time to reveal my dirty secret. This is my one meal a day. Not necessarily the only thing I eat, bc I do snack before, as long as my eating window is within 4 hours. Intermittent Fasting has been a revelation. I started to lose weight (and I have - currently 28lbs down). I didn't expect the energy, the mood boost, and the aches and pains that have disappeared. #intermittentfasting #keto #uglydeliciousfood #drfung #delaydontdeny

Steamed sprouts and carrots with homemade sauerkraut, chickpea flatbreads made right now and sautéed leeks. Why? I had already started the journey of less meet (fish only). That is doing just fine since at least march and prior, since October I think. Now with #drfung knowledge in my head, I am playing with full vegetarianism. I must say: I have not been cooking my food much though and this feels good today. The flatbreads are delicious and are just flour and water and spices. I love the taste. I'll keep telling you more a little at a time or this is getting too long ;) 😘 . . . #eggs #protein #balanceddiet #health #naturalhealth #wheyprotein #workout #postworkout #preworkout #Businesswoman #healthyanddelicious #goodfeeling #weightloss #healthyeating #shake #avocado #kale #habit #smoothiebowl #if #goodfats #vegetarian #veggieprotein

One positive change I've made in my life

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.” William Arthur Ward I can’t believe it’s almost been 8 years since I started my journey of Keto, low carb, alternate day fasting extended fasting and now recently adding in the Lumen device: which early stages appear to assist with managing and viewing my metabolic flexibility. I will never be more thankful or…

#Repost @drjamesdinic ・・・ Most people believe that you shouldn’t cook with olive oil. However, I am here to tell you that’s wrong. Head to head studies show that extra virgin olive oil is even more stable than coconut oil during cooking because of the high concentration of polyphenols which prevents the oil from oxidizing. - Extra virgin olive oil, even when compared to virgin olive oil, has been shown to have better effects at reducing oxidized LDL and lowering blood pressure. In other words, the polyphenols in extra virgin olive oil matter above and beyond the MUFA content of the oil. Extra virgin olive oil has even been shown to reduce DNA damage and oxidative stress. - Extra virgin olive oil truly is a longevity oil. - Eat well.
