Listen Later

This listener Q&A episode tackles the most common intermittent fasting challenges with practical, science-backed solutions. Dr. Scott and Tommy address Nick's testosterone concerns on low-carb diets, explaining how early-day carb timing with circadian rhythm optimization can maintain hormone levels while supporting fasting goals. Learn why combining morning carbohydrates with evening protein creates the ideal metabolic environment for both performance and fat burning. Discover solutions for Carrie's post-workout hunger struggles, including why strength training increases ghrelin and depletes glycogen stores, making fasted training more challenging but ultimately more effective with proper timing and hydration strategies. The hosts dive deep into plateau-busting tactics for OMAD practitioners, explaining why Jean Marie's 3-pound fluctuations are normal and how to break through stalls by varying meal timing, prioritizing non-scale victories, and understanding that metabolic changes occur beneath the surface even when the scale doesn't move. Address common snacking temptations during extended fasts, with Gary's nut-snacking dilemma at the 24-hour mark - learn why this happens during the glycogen-to-ketosis transition and practical replacement strategies. Get insights on keeping "trigger foods" out of the house, using the "who are these for?" technique, and creating habit replacements instead of habit voids. This episode provides real-world solutions for the most frustrating aspects of intermittent fasting, helping you troubleshoot common obstacles while maintaining long-term success with your fasting lifestyle.
