28 min - Ep. 86 - Does weight loss slow your metabolism? | Fasting and Metabolism | 36-hour fasts boost metabolic rate and protect against adaptive thermogenesis | Free Intermittent Fasting Plan for OMAD
Get your FREE BOX OF LMNT hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase here!
In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the often cited concern of metabolism and how weight loss and diets can affect resting metabolic rate. Adaptive thermogenesis is one of the body's homeostatic responses to changing caloric intake, which can lead to a change in metabolic rate. They discuss how these relate to fasting and how to use this information to optimize fasting results and support long-term metabolic health.

31 min - Ep 84 - Why overly restrictive diets fail long term | Healthy relationship with foods to avoid FOMO and overindulging | Reintroducing "off limit" foods | Free Intermittent Fasting Plan
Get your FREE BOX OF LMNT hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase here!
In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss a classic study on overindulging after using restrictive eating. Trigger foods, fear of missing out, and black/white perfectionist thinking within a diet and weight loss journey often lead to unhealthy relationships with certain foods and undesirable outcomes in the future. They talk through how to prevent and correct this to find a better balance and easier success with fasting.
