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 episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss encouraging scientific findings that point to actual long-term reversal of blood sugar imbalances and full-blown diabetes. The "management" of blood sugar disease processes simultaneously acknowledges and ignores the possibility of reversal through weight loss, due to extremely low success rates through standard caloric deficit dieting. With a more effective plan that results in significant fat reduction, long-term balance can be restored.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy have a candid discussion about how habits can slip over time and results can slow. Success leaves clues, but sometimes it takes a while to realize we haven't made progress in a while. A bit of self-reflection leads them to a framework for jump-starting a change.
Perceive. Realizing there's a problem and it’s not fixing itself based on current habits. This can take a while, as excuses are easy to cover up and explain away the problem for a while.
Decide. Making the choice that the change begins right now, because there’s no other solution. Not waiting until after the weekend. Right now.
Plan. Filling in the blanks for which behaviors and standards will change (now) and what that looks like day-to-day. “I don’t care about the work meeting this week, I’m drinking lemon water.” Tuesday night dinner is tacos and I love them, so I’ll be cleaning the closet and gutters.”
Execute. Setup your environment to give you the tools you need. Fasting timer app? Wall calendar size printout of your fasting plan so you see it throughout the day?
