Summary

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS October 1st, 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 milestone 300th episode celebrates five years of transforming lives through intermittent fasting, featuring Dr. Scott and Tommy's reflection on their podcast journey from 4.5 million downloads and counting. The hosts share their evolution from basic fasting education to sophisticated lifestyle integration strategies, highlighting how their approach has matured alongside the growing acceptance of intermittent fasting in mainstream medicine and research. Discover the most impactful episodes based on listener consumption data, including Episode 10's 182% replay rate on 18:6 fasting windows and six-times fat loss boost, and Episode 111's meal planning guidance with 178% consumption. Learn about the critical shift from "fasting then" (focus on schedules and basic knowledge) to "fasting now" (emphasis on sustainable lifestyle transformation, maintenance strategies, and personalized application). The episode features inspiring testimonials like Rick's ten-star review documenting his 45-pound loss in 100 days using 8am-2pm eating windows, proving the power of earlier meal timing for metabolic benefits. Understand why maintenance phase preparation must begin during fat loss, not after reaching your goal weight, and how the research has evolved to include more women-focused studies, body composition analysis, and higher protein recommendations. Join the #Fasting300 challenge by adding 300 minutes to your fasting schedule this week, whether through five one-hour extensions or a single five-hour fast extension. This celebration episode validates intermittent fasting's transformation from fringe practice to evidence-based metabolic intervention, positioning it as essential preventive medicine against the obesity and diabetes epidemics affecting millions globally. ⁠⁠⁠⁠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.
