Your Fasting Questions Answered with Dr. Jason Fung – Episode 2241

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2241 – On this Friday’s show, Vinnie Tortorich speaks with Dr. Jason Fung and gets your fasting questions answered, including why CICO doesn’t work, the “dawn effect”, hormones, and much more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

YOUR FASTING QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • Vinnie welcomes Dr. Jason Fung back to the show and they chat about misconceptions about what fasting is. (2:00)

    • Weight loss isn’t about calories, it’s about hormones like insulin and allowing your cells to work.
  • Vinnie asks Dr. Fung about thermodynamics and CICO. (9:00)
    • Thermodynamics has nothing to do with weight gain; it applies to physics, but not physiology.
    • If CICO worked, then all of the “diet businesses” (like Weight Watchers) would be out of business.
