    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 better balance and easier success with fasting.

    In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss recent studies that break down the key components to not only losing weight, but keeping it off and maintaining long-term health. This subject is not frequently discussed because the data show that 95% of significant weight loss is not maintained, but the data also shows exactly what the important factors are to succeed. It turns out it is not just the method that matters, but we must make a few key adjustments during our weight loss journey in order to protect ourselves from weight regain.

    In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy cover two recent studies on the effect of doing what your grandparents told you to do--take a walk after dinner!
