Fasting For Life (Dr. Scott Watier & Tommy Welling)

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS March 19th, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you 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! In this landmark episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling analyze groundbreaking research that validates their core teaching principles about fasting effectiveness. The hosts examine two studies from the same research lab, comparing one-day versus two-day weekly fasting protocols. This shows that participants following the two-day approach experienced significantly greater visceral fat loss, while simultaneously reporting reduced hunger compared to traditional calorie restriction. They unpack the surprising finding that fasting participants consumed more calories while exercising less, yet achieved superior results, challenging simplified "calories in, calories out" theories. The research demonstrates how combining strategic fasting with protein pacing (prioritizing protein at 35% of intake) substantially improves fat-free mass retention while dramatically reducing dangerous belly fat. This provides listeners evidence-based validation for adopting a sustainable fasting lifestyle. This episode provides compelling scientific support for what the hosts have taught for years: that strategic fasting combined with mindful eating delivers superior weight loss results with less hunger and greater lifestyle flexibility than conventional approaches.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy dive into one of the main reasons why people say they have "tried" fasting, dabbled with it, or had a brief experience with it and the results were just okay. Hunger is a turn-off for most people. It is something that can stop a fast in its tracks. The cephalic phase of digestion is a physiological response that is governed by the nervous system. It starts a cascade of hormones telling your brain that you are hungry. Marketing, mouthwash, and smelling the neighbor's cooking can all stimulate this process that tricks you into thinking you NEED to eat. Listen in to pick up some tips on how to push through!

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.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling look at what science tells us about which type of fasting works best, diving into research that followed almost 10,000 people across 153 different studies. They share some exciting findings - like how alternate day fasting came out on top 82% of the time when measuring things like weight loss and blood sugar improvements. Plus, they unpack why people stick with fasting more often (up to 98% of the time!) compared to regular dieting (only 62-78%). The hosts break down what these numbers mean for everyday people trying to improve their health, and help listeners figure out which fasting approach might work best for their own lifestyle and goals. Whether you're new to fasting or looking to fine-tune your approach, this episode offers clear, science-backed guidance without getting too technical.

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. Nunes CL, Casanova N, Francisco R, et al.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the question posed by a listener in regards to cholesterol rising during fasting. The data points to a short-term spike in cholesterol and triglycerides during the first 24 hours of fasting, followed by a substantial decrease over the following 10 weeks, when using an alternate day fasting protocol. The implications are encouraging for anyone looking for cardioprotective effects and seeking to lower cardiovascular risk factors.   https://www.nature.com/articles/srep07561 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5486142/ https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1038/oby.2010.54 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23220077/ https://faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1096/fasebj.31.1_supplement.786.30   Show Transcript: www.thefastingforlife.com/blog   If you enjoy the podcast, would you please tap on the stars below and consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

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.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss seizing control in everyday situations, which is especially important during unpredictable times. Intermittent fasting and extended fasting create immediate control throughout the day. They talk about routines and how controlling what is within your reach will help you be a leader and a source of stability to those around you. Fasting trims away obligations and never-ending calorie counting in favor of fewer, simpler decisions that are much easier to commit to and maintain. A sense of control can be cultivated by learning from history and knowing that cycles are a natural part of life. They remind listeners that simplifying one's daily life means less to worry about and lower anxiety levels during downturns, even as most other people are fearing the worst. Fasting automatically makes daily life simpler and lowers fears of food shortages, unscheduled interruptions to meal timing, and having to adjust complicated meal plans due to specific food availability.   Show Transcript: www.thefastingforlife.com/blog   If you enjoy the podcast, would you please tap on the stars below and consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

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.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss a classic study on overindulging after using restrictive eating.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy review research on calorie and exercise tracking. The data shows that we significantly underreport our calories and that even long-term "diet resistant" subjects have perfectly functioning metabolisms, but aren't creating the calorie deficit they think they are when dieting. The implications of these findings and how they relate to weight loss, diet outcomes, and finding simplicity and control through fasting are all discussed.   Discrepancy between Self-Reported and Actual Caloric Intake and Exercise in Obese Subjects N Engl J Med 1992; 327:1893-1898 DOI: 10.1056/NEJM199212313272701   Have a question you'd like us to answer?

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.   Have a question you'd like us to answer?

In this episode of the Fasting for Life podcast, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling discuss the transformative power of fasting in addressing metabolic dysfunction and improving overall health. They highlight the reactive nature of the current medical system, which focuses on managing symptoms with medications, rather than preventing or reversing diseases like type two diabetes and Alzheimer's. The hosts advocate for a societal shift towards prevention, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle choices, such as proper nutrition and exercise, to combat chronic disease epidemics. Listeners are encouraged to take control of their health by implementing actionable steps like fasting, monitoring glucose levels, and making informed dietary choices.

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.   Insulin Index Analysis Chart The Carbohydrate-Insulin Model of Obesity: Beyond ‘Calories In, Calories Out’   Show Transcript: www.thefastingforlife.com/blog   If you enjoy the podcast, would you please tap on the stars below and consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Click the Link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling explore research that challenges conventional eating patterns, revealing how shifting calories to earlier in the day can dramatically improve weight loss results. The hosts break down a study showing women who consumed their largest meal at breakfast rather than dinner lost 2.5 times more weight while experiencing significantly better insulin sensitivity, reduced hunger, and improved triglyceride levels. They explain how our bodies process the same calories differently throughout the day due to circadian biology, which explains why evening-heavy eating patterns often lead to frustrating weight loss plateaus despite caloric restriction. This episode offers practical strategies for adapting your fasting schedule to leverage these biological advantages, including alternatives to the popular but less effective dinner-focused OMAD approach, providing listeners with actionable ways to improve their fasting results without increasing hunger or complication.
