    Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Aeira Bone Broth, 5:2 Diet, Weight Lifting Fasted, Long-Term Ketosis, and More.

    Episode #227 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: 1. Can people tweak the 5:2 diet with the two non-consecutive restricted calorie days as full fast days (water only) and reap the same if not better results, or must food in the form of nutrient dense and low calorie be consumed? [09:21] 2. I have seen videos of Dr Fung endorsing the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD). Does he, Dr Fung advocate it for T2D? I am asking because of the plant based (carb) items in the kit, like the soups, crackers, and bars and the potential spike in insulin and glucose consuming those items? [14:30] 3. While an individualized approach to managing and/or reversing diabetes is best, from a diet perspective, is it generally better to have a diverse diet and manage diabetes with medication if needed, rather than restricting your diet to avoid medication? [18:55] 4. Can one - or more importantly should one - practice OMAD to reverse IR or T2D?  Is there a nutritional concern here?  Is the length of time that you do OMAD a factor? [21:12] 5. Do I have to leave the weights workout for the last day of prolonged fasting and eat after the workout or can I work out with weights every day during a 5-day fast without problem and continue fasting AFTER the heavy weights workout? [27:01] 6. Is long term ketosis bad for the body? Some doctors are saying it is and you should carb cycle, but are there any studies supporting this?

    Why Plateaus Happen — and How to Turn Them Into Progress

    Episode #226 We've all been there — things are going great, the scale is moving, fasting feels easy… and then suddenly, everything stops. In this episode, Coaches Terri and Heather open up an honest conversation about plateaus: what causes them, why they're normal, and how to move through them without losing your motivation. From dialing up your fasting rhythm to rethinking "healthy" foods that might be slowing your progress, this chat dives into the real-life adjustments that make a difference. They also explore how stress, sleep, and lifestyle habits play a bigger role than we often realize — and how to find balance again when things stall. If you're feeling stuck or discouraged, this episode will remind you that plateaus aren't failure — they're part of the process.

    Fasting Q&A with Dr Jason Fung: Magnesium, Vinegar, Dawn Phenomenon, and More

    Episode #223 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:   1. I am a healthy 46-year-old working to improve my sleep, so I want to take magnesium bisglycinate. My magnesium supplement actually contains 7 forms of magnesium, which is very convenient, but is it better to just take one form in one capsule for absorption or any other reason? [01:23] 2. Two-part question on TFM's Fat Fasting  One: Vinegar is not on the list, but you have mentioned that we can eat salads. Would it be okay to make a dressing with a healthy oil and vinegar during a Fat Fast?    Two: I've seen some mention to only eat 3-4 of the allowed foods on a fat fast. Is this an alternative manner to step up one's game during a fat fast? [03:58] 3. I just read about a study on stem cell research.  Could you elaborate further what this may mean for those with pancreas, liver, or kidney issues? [08:11] 4. Are there any research-based studies that fasting helps lower cholesterol? [09:55] 5. I'm on day four of a water fast and I am noticing a metallic taste in my mouth. Is this unusual? Why does it happen? [13:46] 6. I have various autoimmune conditions and it was suggested I consider going on LDN (low dose naltrexone), and that this can also help with weight loss. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on LDN for weight loss and, if I decided to start it, how I would incorporate it into my fasting schedule. [16:09] 7. What is the difference between The Dawn Phenomenon and Feet-to-Floor Syndrome? From what I can find they both cause a rise in morning blood sugar, one due to circadian rhythm and the other due to a stress response from getting the day started. Is there a different eating/fasting protocol that is best for one over the other, and how do you know which one you are experiencing? [18:14] 8. Is kidney disease the cause of interstitial cystitis and how do you treat it? [21:05] 9. I have high uric acid and also the APOE 4-4 gene. Would the 3T of lime juice recommended for high uric acid affect the neural autophagy I use as a prevention for the dementia risk? What is the best way to navigate fasting with these two needs? [21:59] 10. Are there any dangers to keeping blood sugars in a consistently low range (50-60's mg/dl) if no symptoms of hypoglycemia are felt? [24:55] 11. In some fasting groups on-line, they are big into breaking fasts with watermelon and fruit juices. How do you feel about breaking fasts with these things? [25:39]   Please note that you need to be a member of the TFM Community to submit questions to the Q&A webinars with Dr. Fung but you can submit questions to our regular Q&A episodes here: https://bit.ly/TFMPodcastQs   Transcripts of all episodes are available on the Podcast page at www.thefastingmethod.com   Explore the TFM Community with a 7-Day FREE TRIAL https://www.thefastingmethod.com/community/   Book a complimentary 15-minute coaching intake assessment with one of the TFM coaches https://www.thefastingmethod.com/coaching/   Connect With Us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fastingmethod/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheFastingMethod Join our FREE Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/TFMNetwork   Summary Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:23 Magnesium 03:58 Vinegar on a fat fast 04:56 Importance of monotony on a fat fast 08:11 Stem cell research 09:55 Fasting and cholesterol  13:46 Metallic taste in mouth on longer fasts 16:09 Low Dose Naltrexone 18:14 Dawn phenomenon vs feet-to-floor syndrome 21:05 Interstitial cystitis 21:59 High uric acid 24:55 Low blood sugar 25:39 Breaking fasts with fruit   Disclaimer This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional care by a doctor or other qualified medical professional.
