In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we delve into the debate between the calorie in, calorie out model and the carbohydrate insulin model of obesity, focusing on a recent study involving obese mice. The study found that a low-carb, high-fat diet prevented the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) more effectively than the Western diet, even under similar caloric conditions. We emphasize the significant role of macronutrients, insulin levels, and meal timing in weight management and overall health, urging listeners to combine fasting with low-carb diets for optimal results. We also encourage listeners to explore their resources for practical tips on implementing these strategies in their own lives.

In today’s episode of the "Fasting for Life" podcast, we discuss the psychological challenges weight loss seekers face when relying solely on the scale for progress tracking. We emphasize the importance of focusing on non-scale victories, setting behavior-based goals, and maintaining a health-centric mindset rather than an appearance-focused one. Additionally, we encourage mindful eating, consistent journaling to track progress, seeking social support, and celebrating small milestones to maintain motivation. Ultimately, the goal is to adopt sustainable habits and self-compassion to successfully navigate the weight loss journey.

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle common fasting questions from their listeners. They address the frustration of weight loss plateaus, explaining why blood sugar improvements are more important markers of progress than scale movement, especially during periods of high ketosis when healing happens beneath the surface. The hosts explore the powerful neurological benefits of fasting, including improved mental clarity, focus, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor production that supports cognitive function. They provide practical guidance on electrolyte supplementation during fasting, clarify coffee additions (and when a little cream might be acceptable), and explain why shifting eating windows earlier in the day is particularly beneficial, especially for those in menopause who face additional hormonal challenges. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize consistency over perfection and provide actionable strategies for adapting fasting to individual needs and circumstances.

Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a 2025 systematic review showing that greater weight loss percentages dramatically increase remission rates—with 30% weight loss leading to 80% complete diabetes remission. Learn why fasting creates the hormonal and metabolic changes needed for sustainable weight loss and how it serves as both prevention and treatment. The episode highlights practical strategies for using intermittent fasting to "get the dang weight off" and emphasizes that consistent small changes trump quick fixes for long-term health.
