In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss what really breaks a fast. There is much discussion about what things are allowed and not allowed during your fasting window. We speak anecdotally for the majority of the episode and have some reference points where there is conflicting research. We attempt to keep it simple and define some terminology that creates confusion. The insulin friendly lifestyle has so many health benefits. Let's try to keep it simple and find what works for you! Thanks so much for joining us on this journey and stay tuned for Episode 54. It will be the launch pad into the new year and you do not want to miss it!

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the 16:8 intermittent fasting schedule, a very common starting point for many people. In their experience, 16:8 is an easy way to become more comfortable with fasting, as it usually just involves skipping breakfast, but if fat loss is the goal, 16:8 may not move the needle very far, which can be confusing. They get into the reasons this happens and how to fix it, starting today.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the neuroprotective effects of fasting, which are related to ketone levels, cellular mechanisms, and metabolism. Ketone testing is also discussed, as it can aid in fasting, correlating how one feels at certain intervals, and positive reinforcement when determining when to break a fast. Understanding how and when to test for ketones can make a big difference in long-term results with fasting.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy dive deep into the struggle many people face when it comes to transitioning from a "diet" and into maintaining their healthy goal weight. The disconnect between how one reached their goal and the optimal techniques to maintain it can cause confusion, frustration, and oftentimes complete regression back to an unhealthy body composition. Willpower is a key component in this equation, and the mindset shift away from dieting and toward lifestyle design allows for freedom and proactive decisions that have staying power.

In this episode Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the little-known "insulin index" and how it relates to making smart food choices that support fasting for fat loss and health. Many popular food choices easily become part of a low-satiety, high insulin, high cravings cycle that leads to fat storage. The trouble is often how to reverse the cycle and create momentum that leads to long-term changes. They discuss how to connect the dots that lead to lifelong transformation.
