Summary

This episode reveals breakthrough research showing early time-restricted eating (8am-2pm) leads to significantly more weight loss than later eating windows while maintaining muscle mass. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down a 2025 study demonstrating how shifting your eating window earlier aligns with your body's natural circadian rhythm and insulin sensitivity. Learn why simple resistance training (just 40 push-ups three times weekly) combined with adequate protein intake can preserve muscle during weight loss. If you're concerned about losing muscle while fasting or hitting a plateau with evening-only eating, this episode offers the practical science-backed solution to optimize your fasting schedule. ⁠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! - December 2024⁠⁠ ⁠⁠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.
