    Can I ask what you mean about women producing eggs? Isn’t it true that you are born with all the eggs you’ll ever have, so what do you mean exactly that women cannot produce eggs if they are underweight?

  • @bigred508

    5 ай бұрын

    "producing eggs" means the eggs in a woman's ovaries will leave the ovary into the fallopian tubes in preparation for fertilization. If fertilized, moves to the womb and anchors to the wall of the womb to grow a baby. If not fertilized the lining of the womb along with the unfertilized eggs will shed (menstrual cycle)@@zombae634

    sorry, also, if an underweight female does not produce sufficient hormones to trigger the reproductive cycle, no eggs will be released from the ovaries.

    My husband started fasting last August (2020) and I decided to join with him. It was the most positive thing we’ve done together & for each other in 48 years of marriage. He’s lost almost 50 pounds and I’ve reached my goal weight. We fast from 6pm to noon the next day or eat just one meal. We switch it up. Neither of us are on any medications and we walk each day. Recently we added some squats and a few other exercises. We enjoy a variety of foods and an occasional treat but we have no overwhelming need to cheat. By eliminating unhealthy fats, sugars & grains we notice a difference in our mental health as well. We wish we would have known about this years ago because we would have saved time & money if we had ditched the three square meals a day plus snacks routine. You can do this!

It seems the hormones we "share" with men cause women difficulties at certain times during our cycle. Feeling much more sympathy for the man in my life. He seems to feel hungry more during fasting than I do.

IF made me to go off the insulin , my blood sugar now ranges between 78- 117 and my periods became regular with normal flow which I didn't see for months.Hair fall also stopped.

    @@Ketchup38 hi! I'd say following IF for about 5 days a week and going easy on 2 days. That way it becomes sustainable. Also, on travels not indulging much in the transit(fasting in the transit as much as possible including saying no to the free meals onboard) but wholly enjoying the local delicacies after reaching the destination is the balance that helps me stay on track despite the indulgences. What also helps is to keep a watch on my weight (2kgs + and I almost in autopilot start either cutting down on food moderately or increasing the fasting window). My understanding is that it's super tough to lose weight post 40; so am extremely vigilant in keeping a tab on it.

    I was obese from as young as I knew till I started dieting on age of 23, doing OMAD but not knowing that it was actually wat Megan described, and within a period of 1 and a half years I lost 20kg. Before dieting, I have knee joint pain due to heavy upper body weight, irregular menses, fatigue, and all sorts of negative things u can think of an obese person. After shredding the excess weight, no more knee joint pain, menses back to regular cycles and felt overall much healthier. 10 years later, Which is now I gave birth and gain 15kg, currently post partum 6 mths and lost 7kg doing OMAD again..

So now I’m back on omad since mid March but not doing it as religiously as I did back in 2020. I was very low carb back then never any sweets no sugary stuff. Today it’s different I have low carb days and some aren’t I enjoy a couple of chocolate bars after my omad on some days and some days I don’t. I’m losing weight still so it works good for me. Have every day around 12pm my omad and I drink just sparkling water 24/7. It was a life changer for me I love fasting and I’m a total believer it’s the best way ever. So another 11lbs to go and I’m at my goal weight.

    Dr Fung makes me so proud to be Canadian, he's our best kept secret. The fast & processed food companies along with the pharmaceutical industry likely have his picture on their dart boards. Time for the government to step in and teach this to the kids in school so they can teach their parents. The next time you're grocery shopping or in a busy coffee shop count the percentage of overweight/ obese people and then watch what they buy and eventually will eat. Unfortunately you can only watch, they don't want help. Eventually they plug up our health care system but make the above mentioned industries wealthy with our governments blessings. Dr Fung for Prime Minister. Next checkout our politicians obesity levels!🤔😖

I was wondering if you could do a video addressing why would hot flashes increase in post menopausal women , say in their 60,s . Or even if you could do a video or two addressing post menopausal women, I can’t seem to get past a36 hour fast and am doing the 30/16 Megan has suggested but the hot flashes have increased ! I’m wondering why and hoping it’s just temporary, Thank you for what you do.!

    Yes women can definitely fast. I lost nearly 60 lbs in 6 months with intermittent fasting. I cut all: processed foods, sugar, and processed condiments first 12 weeks and for the most part from then on. It’s been a lifestyle have been on OMAD from 12 weeks on. I’ve been in pre-menopause. Sleep is VERY important and I have lost weight regular and have maintained over a year. I’ve NEVER felt better.

Lower my body fat even though I also exercise very consciously for at least 5 days of the week. I have issues with high cortisol, high estrogen, low progesterone and I feel super frustrated , may you please talk about how to fast when a person has these issues I mentioned.

That said, I do have somewhat of a pointed question with no disrespect intended. You often mention the 60's (and to a degree the 70's) as a time when obesity was very low.. I believe you say around 2%. My question is, was the medical industry tracking obesity the same as they do today? To put the question into context, the NBA introduced the 3 point line in 1979. Prior to that, shots were still being taken from the 3 point distance but no one was counting them. Thanks
