hello fasters, has anyone combined these? I learned about buteyko about a week ago and joes method approx 2 months ago and I must say combining these has unlocked a new level of consciousness.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I was wondering if anyone has experience with Dr. Mike Israel? [https://youtu.be/BoD7bj74QPQ](https://youtu.be/BoD7bj74QPQ) It sounds like a more effective method than adding 50-100 calories a week. I am very curious about the responses.
Is there any new research on disagreements between Dr Longo and Dr Sinclair? I do appreciate both of them, but I would like to be able to decide on their contradictory claims, specifically: * Is skipping breakfast good or bad...
So, I just got kicked out of The Obesity Code Diet Facebook Group because they did not want to acknowledge Dr. Phinney's research and comments about losing lean body mass when dieting. Oh well...
He's vegan which upsets a lot of people, but I'm genuinely curious how many people trust or distrust him.
It seems like they’re dissolving 20% of their product in sugar and marketing it as soda
On keto when insulin is low, in theory, it circumvents to 2 compartment model so the body can access its fat stores. However, despite having fasted 20 out of 60 last days (OMAD on eating days), I've actually gained about...
[Fasting](https://image.ibb.co/cDXc4e/image.png) seems to be a bliss in disguise but it's confusing for me because my BMI is in range.
Hi- quick question to everyone who read Dr. Fung's Obesity Code: What did he say about weight loss and breaking long term fast? I know that after day 3, we burn our fat and maintain good metabolism. I am so bored...
Dr.Filonov recommended 2 days of dry fast weekly paired with walking for weight loss. Has anyone tried? And what were your results? Would 2 days of 24 hrs dry fast suffice or should I go for longer periods? I am doing...
From my brief research, I see that people say xylitol doesn't raise blood glucose or insulin, but I don't recall Dr. Fung mentioning it in the sweetener section in his book The Obesity Code. The reason I'm asking is that...
I've decided to make some changes to my lifestyle and eating habits and educate myself so I'm looking to buy one of his books, one that contains all the necessary information. I might buy more later but I need one...
For example, sometimes my family will make ice cream (generally healthier than store-bought, but still, it's ice cream) and I know it has added sugars etc. It's hard to completely stop participating in any desserts with my family, so is...
I had never been committed to diets or sports before. I once tried the most common way to lose weight: eat less, move more. I dieted, I took up some minor exercise and walking for a few weeks. My weight...
Went for a 3 month follow up with my doctor after a physical showing HDL 44 & LDL 135 and elevated inflammation levels. In addition to continuing my intermittent fasting, I was told to make a few changes in my...
For lunch (I follow 18:6), I ate two salmon burgers, a bit of guacamole, a good amount of broccoli, four eggs, a few spoons of mayonnaise, and a green smoothie. Just out of curiosity, this totaled to under 1200...
Hello Some of Dr Filonov recommendations worry me. In his book he wrote: Rapeseed, sunflower, corn, soybean, walnut oil - 1 tablespoon of any oil from this list once daily; • Sunflower, sesame, poppy, pumpkin seeds, walnuts; • Wheat sprouts; • Many other plant and...
Hey all. Ive been practicing IF inconsistently for the past two years and am really trying to commit myself to being more consistent about it this year. I recently re-read dr fung’s complete guide to fasting and there is a...
Has Dr. Jason Fung provided his opinion on the Snake Diet (and/or on rolling 48s, 72s, and 96s)? I'm *very* interested to know what his thoughts are. I'm not exactly following the Snake Diet, but I've recently started a 2MAW...
I have stationary bike that was given to me, I just ordered weights. I hate exercising with a passion, but I am still going to do it.
Is he legit or a quack?
I have read all of Dr Fung's books and watched various seminars. There is something I am confused about and which I'm hoping someone can help me with. He talks about his patients doing extended fasts in order to lose weight...
I made the mistake of telling my Dr that I fast and she got quite upset. Now, I love my Dr, she's amazing, but we definitely don't see eye to eye on this. She said that I should never skip...

Received this email today from Dr Fung: Fasting and COVID-19 A lot of people are worried about how fasting affects the risk of COVID-19 virus infection. The truth is there is no good information on this subject at all, so everything is...
So I know that Dr Fung believes in not calorie restricting (at least that's the only info I've been able to find). He says if you do a smaller eating window every day, you should still get the same calories...
I just discovered his [youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@drekberg/videos), and ive watched several videos so far. A lot of it seems pretty scientifically on point in regards to his nutrition recommendations. I particularly like his focus on [fundamental nutrition concepts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7gDIshc-S0) rather than evangelising...

I'm interested to hear what the overall take on this from fasters who understand the hormonal impact of fasting on the body. Dr. Fung rarely qualifies this statement and uses black and white terminology such as "the CICO theory has...
Hey, I love If and EF. I'm 100% sure that the right way. But I see quite a few people hate on it and specially on Dr. Jason Fung. It's quite frustrating to people tell you you're stupid for believing...
I am quite far along in my fasting weight loss journey and nearing my goal weight, so I've started doing monthly extended fasts (72s) to keep myself from plateauing. It sort of has gotten me interested in what might be...
I’m doing intermittent fasting. I am not familiar with fasting-mimicking diets. I would love to hear about it, what does a fasting-mimicking diet even look like? How does it compare to IF? Which one is recommended and why?

Hi guys, I need some help here. I come across a lot of content online that says women shouldn’t fast for longer periods of time and your cycle will be disrupted or your hormones will be disrupted etc. I have...

Any women here dry fast during that time of the month? If so what are your tips? And any complications?
So I had a previous post where I stated that I have done the 16:8 fasting before but I never really noticed any results for about two months. Some people recommended extending the fast, so I started reading on OMAD....
I was specifically looking for information between 32 and 48 hours because I'm trying to decide which one I want to do regularly. However, this chart kind of skips that specific part. Does anyone have any charts that illustrate the...

I want more options than just Ragusea.
Do you guys know of a book, other than Dr. Fung's, that has something new to add instead of rehashing the same things? I was hoping something from another MD with additional results and insights.
Has anyone done a fast under his supervision and does anyone have his email?
Who do you learn from about fasting?
Had some heart racing, and went in, kidney readings are good, everything checked out.
I read the Phoenix book and it stated 11 day dry fast is the optimal to cure most chronic illness. I have only done 5 day dry fast and couldn’t do 7 day. If you are on the lower weight...
I notice DR. Fung mostly recommends alternate day fasting such as fast for a period of 24or 36 hours every other day of the week. Somewhere I remember him saying eating once per day would cause a person to plateau....
