    The Truth About Calories | Jason Fung | Part 1

    Dr. Jason Fung shares why calorie counting doesn't work. Our hormones control how many calories we eat (Calories In) and our metabolic rate (Calories Out), so losing weight means we need to fix this hormonal imbalance, not just eat a few less calories.

    Fasting Vs. Cutting Calories? (The scientific advantage) | Jason Fung

    Why intermittent fasting is much more effective for weight loss than simple calorie restriction. Fasting allows insulin to fall which allows the body to use its stores of body fat for energy, where simple cutting of calories may or may not do so. Just cutting calories does not fix the hormonal changes of obesity.

    The Real Reason You Can't Lose Weight (Hormones and Obesity - a Masterclass)

    Have you been told that losing weight is simply about "eating less and moving more"? For decades, the "Calories In, Calories Out" model has been the gold standard for weight loss. But what if it is completely wrong? In this Masterclass, I break down the real reason you can't lose weight: Hormones. We dive deep into the science of obesity and explore why calorie counting fails 99% of the time, as proven by massive studies like the Women's Health Initiative. Weight gain is not a character flaw or a lack of willpower—it is a hormonal imbalance. We will discuss exactly how hormones like Insulin, Cortisol, Thyroid, and Testosterone control your body fat, and more importantly, how you can fix it. In this video, you will learn: ● �� Why the 'Eat Less, Move More' advice is scientifically flawed. ● �� How hormones dictate whether your body stores or burns fat. ● �� The truth about weight-loss drugs like Ozempic (GLP-1). ● �� Why the 1977 dietary guidelines triggered the obesity epidemic. ● ✅ The ultimate, natural solution to lower insulin and lose weight effortlessly. � Join the Conversation: Have you struggled with calorie-counting diets in the past?

In this video, Dr. Jason Fung breaks down the latest science and practical tips to help women fast in sync with their hormones. Whether menstruating, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal — this video will help you optimize your health and fat loss. What You'll Learn in This Video: - How estrogen & progesterone affect hunger and metabolism - Why fasting feels easier before ovulation - The ideal time to do longer fasts or intermittent fasting - How menopause changes fat burning vs. sugar burning - Why many women gain weight during perimenopause - Practical tips to adapt your diet through different phases of your cycle - Personalizing your fasting strategy using your hormone patterns Science-Backed + Practical Advice During the first half of your cycle (follicular phase), rising estrogen can suppress appetite and increase your body’s ability to burn fat. This makes it the best time to fast — your cravings are low and your metabolism is geared for fat-burning. After ovulation, progesterone increases appetite and shifts your metabolism toward storing fat, making it a better time to focus on low-carb eating instead of long fasts. In menopause, estrogen levels drop, appetite increases, and your bod starts burning more glucose than fat. This metabolic shift makes weight gain easier and fat loss harder — but it’s manageable with the right fasting strategies.

    What causes Ozempic face and how to avoid it

    Dr. Jason Fung reveals the science of facial fat loss, subcutaneous vs. visceral fat, and how to lose weight without damaging your appearance. Have you ever seen someone lose a lot of weight but end up looking tired, old, or even sickly? You might’ve heard the term “Ozempic Face” — a phrase describing the hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and wrinkled skin people often get after rapid weight loss through appetite-suppressing drugs or extreme calorie restriction. But here's the good news: Fasting doesn’t cause Ozempic Face. In fact, it can protect your facial appearance while helping you lose dangerous internal fat and reverse metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. In this powerful video, Dr. Jason Fung breaks down the real science behind facial fat loss and explains why intermittent fasting is a healthier, smarter, and more natural way to lose fat — without compromising your skin, face, or youthfulness. �� What You'll Learn in This Video: ✅ Why people get “Ozempic Face” after extreme dieting or GLP-1 drugs ✅ The critical difference between subcutaneous fat (under the skin) and visceral fat (around your organs) ✅ How fasting triggers growth hormone, autophagy, and fat-beiging to help preserve skin elasticity and bone health ✅ Real-world examples: How fasting users look healthier compared to drug-induced weight loss ✅ Why fasting helps your body burn harmful internal fat and retain healthy facial fat ✅ How brown fat activation boosts metabolism and supports long-term fat loss ✅ Key findings from recent clinical studies (2022–2025) on time-restricted eating, low-carb diets, and belly fat reduction �� Topics Covered: 00:00 – Introduction: 00:20 – Why Celebrities Look Unhealthy After Weight Loss Sunken eyes, hollow cheeks, and the loss of subcutaneous fat explained. 00:40 – Fasting vs. Appetite Suppressants: A Visual Comparison See how fasting results in healthier, more natural-looking weight loss. 02:17 – What Causes “Ozempic Face”? The science behind subcutaneous fat loss and facial aging. 02:53 – Fasting Preserves Facial Fat: Here’s Why How fasting differs hormonally from calorie restriction or weight-loss drugs. 03:30 – 5 Reasons Why Fasting Prevents 'Ozempic Face'. 04:56 – Visceral vs. Subcutaneous Fat 05:05 – Brown Fat vs. White Fat 05:58 – Growth Hormone Boost: How Fasting Enhances Skin & Bone Health Fasting increases skin elasticity and supports tissue regeneration. 06:24 – Study: 600 Calorie Diet vs. Fasting on Visceral Fat Why fasting removes more harmful fat without damaging your appearance. 07:00 – 2022 Study: Time-Restricted Eating vs. Low Carb Diet Which method burns more visceral fat and improves blood sugar control? 08:13 – New 2025 Study: Early vs. Late Fasting and Abdominal Fat Research proves timing matters in fat loss and metabolic benefits. 08:50 – White Fat, Brown Fat, and “Beiging” Explained Fasting promotes brown fat growth to burn more calories and boost metabolism. 09:50 – Final Thoughts: Fasting is the Smarter Way to Lose Fat Why fasting protects your appearance while improving your health. ��‍⚕️ About Dr. Jason Fung: Dr. Fung is a Canadian nephrologist and a globally recognized expert in intermittent fasting, diabetes reversal, and natural health strategies. His work has helped thousands of people regain their health and confidence — without starving, struggling, or aging faster. �� Who Should Watch This Video? ✔️ Anyone losing weight and concerned about aging or “gaunt face” ✔️ People using or considering GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) ✔️ Individuals with type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, or prediabetes ✔️ Those following intermittent fasting, keto, or low-carb diets ✔️ Anyone who wants to lose fat the right way — and look good doing it! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ �� BOOKS: �� The Obesity Code - Reviewing underlying physiology of weight loss and how lo carb diets and fasting can help. ht Learn more about your ad choices.

    Is Intermittent Fasting Healthy (Malnutrition?)(Weight Loss) | Jason Fung

    Some people worry that intermittent fasting causes the body to become depleted of nutrients. But this worry about malnutrition is misguided. Which nutrients should we worry about? Energy, ie calories? Reducing energy is generally to point of weight loss, the most common reason people use intermittent fasting. Is it macronutrients? We don't generally worry about getting too few carbohydrates or fats. Protein can be eaten when you eat, and also can be conserved by the body.

    The Obesity Epidemic, Explained

    Dr. Jason Fung explains how the 1977 dietary guidelines led to the obesity epidemic. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans changed the way Americans ate, advising us to eat more carbs and less fat to prevent heart disease, but this lead to weight gain. When we gained weight, we were then told it was our own fault.
