REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode reveals shocking research from the Journal of Nature Metabolism showing why restarting your fasting routine after vacation or weekend indulgences feels impossibly difficult - and it's not your fault. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a groundbreaking study demonstrating that just 5 days of eating an extra 1,100 calories (equivalent to 4 drinks or one extra meal plus dessert) creates lasting brain changes that persist for weeks, making fasting adherence incredibly challenging. Discover how short-term overeating disrupts brain insulin sensitivity, reduces reward sensitivity (making fasting victories feel less motivating), increases punishment sensitivity (amplifying guilt when you break fasts), and impairs memory consolidation so you can't remember your fasting successes. Learn why your brain adapts to caloric overload faster than your body shows weight gain, creating a neurological "lag effect" that sabotages your fasting motivation and willpower. The hosts provide practical fasting recovery strategies, including why you should expect the same recovery time as your time "off track," how to use strategic 24-36 hour fasts to reset brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and restore normal hunger cues, and why you shouldn't immediately return to long extended fasts as "punishment." This episode reframes fasting setbacks as normal biology rather than moral failure, teaching you to anticipate and work with your brain's adaptation rather than fighting against it. Essential listening for anyone struggling with the summer vacation fasting cycle, weekend warrior mentality, or the frustrating pattern of breaking their fasting routine and struggling to get back on track.

    ***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS August 13th, 2025!*** We’ll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling’ to achieve uncommon results! REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! This episode reveals game-changing research from a meta-analysis of 30 randomized controlled trials with 1,341 participants that will transform how you approach intermittent fasting. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down the shocking discovery that fasting without calorie counting produces DOUBLE the weight loss compared to fasting while tracking calories - 6.22 pounds versus 3.22 pounds respectively. More importantly, only the non-calorie counting fasting group saw significant improvements in fasting glucose (8-point drop), insulin levels (6.3 point reduction), cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, while the calorie-controlled group showed no consistent metabolic improvements. Learn why obsessing over hitting your daily calorie targets during eating windows actually sabotages your fasting benefits by potentially causing you to overeat, creating exaggerated blood sugar spikes, and interfering with natural hunger and satiety cues. The hosts explain how fasting naturally creates caloric restriction through appetite regulation and circadian biology optimization, making manual calorie counting unnecessary and counterproductive. Discover why the simplification approach - choosing an eating window and sticking to it consistently while prioritizing protein - outperforms complicated tracking methods for sustainable weight loss and metabolic health. This episode provides the scientific validation that fasting works best when you trust the process and let your body's natural mechanisms guide food intake, rather than forcing predetermined calorie targets. Essential listening for anyone frustrated with calorie counting approaches or wondering whether they need to track macros while intermittent fasting. The research conclusively shows: fasting simplifies everything while delivering superior results. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

    Ep. 290 - OMAD Optimization | Low-Carb vs High-Carb Pre-Fast Meals Study | How Your Last Meal Before Fasting Affects Ketosis & Fat Burning | 24-Hour Fast Results | Time to Ketosis Breakthrough Research | New Fasting Persona Quiz!
    Jul 15 2025
    This episode reveals groundbreaking 2025 research that will revolutionize how you approach OMAD (One Meal A Day) fasting. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a game-changing study showing how your pre-fast meal composition dramatically affects ketosis timing and fat burning efficiency during 24-hour fasts. Discover the shocking difference between starting a fast with a low-carb, high-fat meal versus a high-carb, low-fat meal: the low-carb group reached nutritional ketosis by hour 12, while the high-carb group never achieved ketosis during the entire 24-hour period. Learn how the right pre-fast meal drops insulin by 42% within one hour, increases fat-burning hormone glucagon by 24%, and naturally boosts GLP-1 (the "Ozempic hormone") by 27% and GIP by 34.5% - giving you natural appetite suppression and metabolic enhancement. The hosts explain why this simple meal composition change (60% fat, 30% protein, 10% carbs versus the opposite) can be the difference between plateau frustration and consistent fat loss results. Understand why your dinner OMAD might be sabotaging your progress, how meal timing amplifies these effects, and practical food swaps to optimize your pre-fast nutrition. If you're stuck in the 3-5 pound weight fluctuation cycle despite consistent OMAD fasting, this episode provides the missing piece to unlock sustained ketosis and accelerated fat burning. Essential listening for anyone wanting to maximize their OMAD strategy and achieve consistent, sustainable results without longer fasts or extreme measures. ⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠30% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let’s continue the conversation.

They have gone through the health and weight loss struggle and are really providing a cure for all that is making us sick.

These guys are awesome and so knowledgeable!

I like Tommy a lot better than Scott. Scott comes across as quite a know it all and if I hear the word juxtaposition one more time I’m going to stop listening. But overall, I like how they review scientific articles that they find and share their experiences and insight. And I think it’s cute how Tommy laughs Scott.

I like Tommy

I'm so glad to find these podcasts. I have been omad fasting for 6 months on my own. I needed encouragement and fine tuning. This podcast has become a companion in my journey.

Keeping me on track
