    Ep. 277 - New Research: 4:3 Fasting Schedule Outperforms Daily Calorie Restriction - 12 Month Outcomes | Better Weight Loss & Less Binge Eating | Key Study Results | Improved Body Composition
    Apr 15 2025
    In this evidence-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling analyze a brand-new clinical trial comparing 4:3 intermittent fasting versus daily caloric restriction over 12 months. The hosts break down the surprising finding that intermittent fasting participants lost significantly more weight (17 pounds vs 11 pounds) while experiencing a dramatic improvement in their relationship with food, shown by a remarkable two-point reduction in binge eating scores compared to almost no change in the calorie restriction group. They explain why fasting showed better long-term adherence (only 19% dropout rate versus 30% in the calorie counting group) despite both approaches creating the same weekly calorie deficit. The episode highlights how the fasting group was nearly 2.5 times more likely to achieve clinically significant 10% weight loss, and offers practical guidance for adapting this research-backed approach to your own fasting schedule. The hosts also discuss how results might be even better with increased protein intake and resistance training—two factors absent from the original study.

    Ep. 276 - Timing Matters: How Circadian Rhythm Affects Your Fasting Results | Earlier Eating Windows | Why Morning Fasts Break Plateaus | Light Exposure Tips | Optimizing Sleep-Wake Cycles
    Apr 8 2025
    In this science-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore how your body's internal clock dramatically impacts fasting effectiveness and metabolic health. The hosts reveal research showing that identical meals eaten at different times of day produce completely different blood sugar responses—with evening meals causing 17% higher glucose spikes and 20% lower insulin effectiveness. They explain why shifting your eating window earlier in the day can significantly improve weight loss, even without changing your food choices. The episode offers practical strategies for aligning your fasting schedule with your circadian biology, including morning and evening light exposure tips, consistent sleep patterns, and meal timing adjustments that make fasting more effective. Whether you're struggling with a weight loss plateau or looking to optimize your fasting routine, this episode provides actionable steps to harness your body's natural rhythms for better results.

    Ep. 275 - Boost Your Fasting Results with ACV | Blood Sugar Benefits During Fasting Windows | The 2-Tablespoon Strategy for Enhanced Fasting | ACV as a Hunger-Blocking Fasting Tool | Closing Eating Windows with Vinegar | New Fasting Persona Quiz
    Apr 1 2025
    In this practical episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how apple cider vinegar can be a powerful optimizer for your fasting lifestyle. They examine research showing that just two tablespoons of ACV daily helped diabetic patients dramatically lower blood sugar, reduce waist circumference, and improve cholesterol markers without changing their diet. The hosts share their contrasting approaches to incorporating ACV into fasting: Scott uses it to suppress hunger pangs and break emotional food connections during fasting windows. In contrast, Tommy uses it to signal the end of eating periods—like "brushing your teeth" for your fasting timer. They explain how ACV improves fasting results by enhancing insulin sensitivity, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting fat metabolism. They offer listeners a simple yet remarkably effective tool to enhance their fasting results with minimal effort and maximum impact.

The evidenced based approach

I really like this podcast I came to it about half way through my fasting journey. I started at 85kg in April 2024 and currently in August at 68.6kg still a way to go but do not find it hard to do. I am clean fasting and have never really eaten too many hyperprocessed foods. My why has changed from just weight loss to trying to get off my high blood pressure meds. I got my doctor to reduce them last visit and get my bloods done and I have kept monitoring my bp and all is good. The only thing is tge bloods came back and my Cholesterol is high and they want to put me on a statin. No really happy about that and am not going to go on it but how long before I dare get my bloods done again to be sure of it going down. Thank you for your Fab podcast I really love it. So thank you again from the not so sunny West of Ireland.

Motivating and informative

I’m starting out on my fasting journey, I’ve been going since Christmas. This podcast helps keep me going! Although when I’m hormonal, my appetite is insane making fasting almost impossible. At least the days where I don’t hit my fasting targets I can listen to a podcast and start the next day as new.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
