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.

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss encouraging scientific findings that point to actual long-term reversal of blood sugar imbalances and full-blown diabetes. The "management" of blood sugar disease processes simultaneously acknowledges and ignores the possibility of reversal through weight loss, due to extremely low success rates through standard caloric deficit dieting. With a more effective plan that results in significant fat reduction, long-term balance can be restored.

Ep. 40 - Deciding to start fasting | Four steps to making a change | Recognizing and breaking through weight loss diet plateaus | Excuses, goals, decisions | Free Intermittent Fasting Plan Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy have a candid discussion about how habits can slip over time and results can slow. Success leaves clues, but sometimes it takes a while to realize we haven't made progress in a while. A bit of self-reflection leads them to a framework for jump-starting a change.

Perceive. Realizing there's a problem and it’s not fixing itself based on current habits. This can take a while, as excuses are easy to cover up and explain away the problem for a while.

Decide. Making the choice that the change begins right now, because there’s no other solution. Not waiting until after the weekend. Right now.

Plan. Filling in the blanks for which behaviors and standards will change (now) and what that looks like day-to-day. “I don’t care about the work meeting this week, I’m drinking lemon water.” Tuesday night dinner is tacos and I love them, so I’ll be cleaning the closet and gutters.”

Execute. Setup your environment to give you the tools you need. Fasting timer app? Wall calendar size printout of your fasting plan so you see it throughout the day?

In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the book "Salt, Sugar, Fat" by Michael Moss, the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter who uncovered the hidden system used by the food giants to get us hooked on artificial, engineered foods. It can be difficult to break habits with food, especially since many of them were formed during childhood. This book has helped millions of people understand why they have such strong feelings towards some of their favorite foods and has given them the firepower to start looking at food in a more empowered way and make better decisions to regain control of their bodies and lives.
