This episode reveals breakthrough research showing early time-restricted eating (8am-2pm) leads to significantly more weight loss than later eating windows while maintaining muscle mass. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a 2025 study demonstrating how shifting your eating window earlier aligns with your body's natural circadian rhythm and insulin sensitivity. Learn why simple resistance training (just 40 push-ups three times weekly) combined with adequate protein intake can preserve muscle during weight loss. If you're concerned about losing muscle while fasting or hitting a plateau with evening-only eating, this episode offers the practical science-backed solution to optimize your fasting schedule.
