Jason Fung explains how therapeutic fasting addresses the two-compartment problem of energy storage to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Jason Fung completed medical school and internal medicine at the University of Toronto before finishing his nephrology fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles at the Cedars-Sinai hospital. He now has a practice in Ontario, Canada where he uses his Intensive Dietary Management program to help all sorts of patients, but especially those suffering from the two big epidemics of modern times: obesity and type 2 diabetes. Dr. Fung uses innovative solutions to these problems, realising that conventional treatments are not that effective in helping people.What people say. Recommended as an excellent overview of the impacts of calorie restriction and therapeutic fasting.
