70 N+S Experiments proved that fructose caused the development of insulin resistance in humans.
QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): “At the liver, fructose is rapidly metabolized into glucose, lactose and glycogen. The body handles excess glucose consumption through several well-defined metabolic pathways, such as glycogen storage and de novo lipogenesis (creation of new … Continue reading
69 N+S Obesity is a hormonal, not a caloric imbalance.
QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): “The simple truth is that weight loss comes down to understanding the hormonal roots of obesity. Insulin is the main driver. Obesity is a hormonal, not a caloric imbalance. There are not one, but … Continue reading
68 N+S Instead of skipping a meal, we concoct all sorts of intricate rules:
QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): ASK A CHILD how to lose weight, and there’s a good chance he or she will answer, “Skip a few meals.” This suggestion is probably the simplest and most correct answer. Instead, we concoct … Continue reading
67 N+S Increasing the timing of meals has a far more detrimental long-term effect on weight gain.
QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): “The reverse is also true. Does increasing meal size or frequency contribute to obesity? A recent randomized controlled trial comparing the two demonstrated that only the group with increased eating frequency significantly increased intrahepatic … Continue reading
66 N+S INTERMITTENT FASTING AND CALORIC REDUCTION
QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): “INTERMITTENT FASTING AND CALORIC REDUCTION THE ONE CRUCIAL aspect that differentiates fasting from other diets is its intermittent nature. Diets fail because of their constancy. The defining characteristic of life on Earth is homeostasis. … Continue reading

QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): “There are, in fact, no species of animal, humans included, that have evolved to require three meals a day, everyday. It’s unclear to me where this myth originated. Daily caloric restriction does, in fact, … Continue reading
65 Blood glucose levels remain normal as the body switches over to burning fat for energy.
QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): “Blood glucose levels remain normal as the body switches over to burning fat for energy. This effect occurs with fasting periods as short as twenty-four to thirty-six hours. Longer fasts reduce insulin even more … Continue reading
63 Add more. Physiological Response To Fasting: A Timetable
QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): “THE BODY’S RESPONSE TO FASTING: GLUCOSE AND FAT are the body’s main sources of energy. When glucose is not available, then the body adjusts by using fat, without any health detriment. This compensation is … Continue reading
62 Add more, Instead, focus on a tried-and-true ancient healing tradition.
QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): “FASTING: AN ANCIENT REMEDY INSTEAD OF SEARCHING for some exotic, never-seen-before diet miracle to help us break insulin resistance, let’s instead focus on a tried-and-true ancient healing tradition. Fasting is one of the oldest … Continue reading
61 Add more. To break the insulin-resistance cycle, we must have recurrent periods of very low insulin levels.
QUOTE from Dr Fung (emphasis mine): “The body’s knee-jerk reaction to insulin resistance is to increase insulin levels, which, in turn, creates even more resistance. To break the insulin-resistance cycle, we must have recurrent periods of very low insulin levels. … Continue reading
