Why Your Body "Fights" Weight Loss & How to Stop It - Dr. Jason Fung (Video)

In this 11 March 2026 published video, host Dhru Purohit talks with Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist, researcher, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code. A graduate of the University of Toronto and UCLA, his work has revolutionized the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes through evidence-based intermittent fasting and intensive dietary management. He is the co-founder of The Fasting Method and a leading global voice on metabolic health.
According to Dr. Fung, weight loss isn’t a willpower problem; it’s a hormonal one. He explain his research on why “Eat Less, Move More” often fails and how he believes we can reset our internal “Fat Thermostat. He shares his perspective on the “calorie myth” and dives into his theory of the “Over-Hunger” epidemic and explains why the body is biologically programmed to defend its fat stores.
Dr. Fung shares his breakdown of the Three Types of Hunger, the hidden dangers he identifies in “healthy” ultra-processed foods, and the specific hormonal signals he believes signal the brain to store fat regardless of exercise levels. We also discuss his take on the controversial world of GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic/Wegovy), the truth about protein requirements, and his proprietary Three Golden Rules for resetting the metabolism naturally.
