MAY 8th CHALLENGE REGISTRATION LINK
In today’s episode, we dive into a detailed conversation about a study published in the Journal of Nutrients, comparing the effects of a high carbohydrate versus a high-fat shake on metabolism and glycemic control when used to break a 38-hour fast. Dr. Benjamin Bickman completed this study. The study suggests that the type of nutrients consumed when breaking a fast significantly impacts metabolic health. It highlights that low-carb, high-fat shakes are more beneficial for maintaining ketosis and glycemic control compared to high-carb, low-fat shakes. The findings underscore the importance of food choices in optimizing fasting strategies for better health outcomes. They emphasize that what you eat and when you eat matters greatly for those practicing intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating.

THE BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS DOWNLOAD
In today’s episode, we discuss a study that examined whether restricting carbohydrate intake to earlier in the day, as part of a Mediterranean diet, would improve glycemic control for people with type 2 diabetes. The study found no significant difference between this approach and consuming carbs throughout the day, raising questions about diet, fasting, and metabolic health. We also explored the implications of the study's findings, emphasizing the importance of aligning food intake with circadian rhythms, varying fasting windows, and making intentional food choices, particularly for those seeking to manage diabetes or achieve long-term weight loss with a fasting lifestyle. The episode also highlights the benefits of time-restricted eating, with a focus on earlier meal timing, and encourages listeners to consider tools like the Fasting for Life Blueprint for Fat Loss, which provides fasting schedules and strategies to enhance results and integrate fasting into daily life.

Ep161
Hey my name is Jarrod
I’m from Australia and I am new to your podcast. I love listening to you show I especially like when you discuss creating habits when fasting as this I believe is really important.
Do you guys have any tips for people who do shift work or work nights and how this can affect their fasting.
Keep up the great work.
Cheers
Life changer!
This podcast has changed my life. I’ve recently done my first challenge through this podcast and it’s gotten me out of maintenance and into weight loss.
I’ve been binge listening to this podcast for the last three months and it’s encouraging. I’m now at the point where I am able to act rather than wait for inspiration to hit. Definitely looking forward to being up to date on the episodes and achieving my goals.
It’s makes health goals actionable and achievable!
Awesome show
I have been binge listening to your podcast over the past few weeks starting from the very beginning. You guys are harsh on yourselves as your first episode was FANTASTIC and it’s hard to believe you’ve improved on it as you continued, but you have. You share amazing information , provide helpful advice and most of all inspire your listeners to keep at this lifestyle. I am gaining so much knowledge and this coming from a medical practitioner. Keep up the awesome job!!
