In this practical Q&A episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle real listener questions about the psychological and physiological challenges of sustainable weight loss. They explore why hitting a new low weight can trigger self-sabotaging behaviors, explaining the body's three-pronged defense system that activates during fat loss and offering "when-then" planning strategies to navigate these vulnerable moments. The hosts address the common concern of scale stalls after initial success, clarifying the difference between true plateaus and natural metabolic transitions while providing actionable steps to maintain momentum. They dive into the nuanced topic of alcohol's impact on fasting results, revealing how even moderate wine consumption affects sleep quality, metabolic efficiency, and fat burning—especially for postmenopausal women. The episode rounds out with tactical guidance on supplement timing during fasting windows and the real metabolic benefits of post-meal walks, demonstrating how small lifestyle adjustments create the redundancy needed to counter your body's built-in weight regain mechanisms for lasting success.
