In today’s episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy explore the question of the ideal fasting schedule and meal frequency. They advocate for personalization, highlighting that there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Beginners can start by skipping breakfast or reducing meal frequency to create a caloric deficit.

Finally some consistent useful information
Still after almost two years of listening to this podcast I am still learning new things. I cannot imagine my life without this podcast. Thank you!
Finally! Something worked 🥲
I am leaving a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️review not because you asked for it but because this program actually worked. For the first time since 2019 after Noom, WW, 21 Day Fix, counting macros, running every day; just so much that drained me physically, emotionally, mentally, and I just had no energy, I finally dropped below 140 and am getting very close to my goal weight.
The first time I listened to this podcast the lightbulb went on. I kept asking myself how have I always been at my goal weight effortlessly my whole life? and after going from 125 pounds to 147 pounds during the pandemic I could not crack the code, how did I do it? After listening to this podcast I was like lightbulb FASTING without even knowing it I fasted my whole life unintentionally. I started binging this podcast and started fasting (20/4 then 24, 48, and 72) when I stepped on the scale for the first time in 3 years I was under 140 and I am very close to being 125 pounds after 8 weeks. I did not cut anything from my diet or over exercise, all I did was fast and focus on the nutrition my body needed during my windows.
I’m about to have my first doctor appointment where I get to step on the scale and not have that questionable eye brow raise from my doctor, I cannot wait!
Thank you for your podcast, for sharing, dumbing this down so I could understand, research, and all the tips! You helped me change my lifestyle and I am a Fasting for Lifer!
P.S. Rule #3 needs to be no talking about food while fasting, my husband always wants to talk about what we are going to eat after we break our fast and I’m just thinking lord just get me through this fast.

Great podcast
I just found this a few weeks ago. I love how they go into all the health benefits not just weight loss and break down the science into normy speak. I’ve been dabbling in IF for the last 2 years and I think I’ve finally found my stride. I was on the brink of giving up on IF again after a month because I was tired , hungry, grumpy and starting to binge. Then I heard about fasting clean. I gave up cream in my coffee , flavored la croix and bulletproof coffee as a last ditch effort. I can’t tell you what a difference it made. Yesterday my fast was scheduled to end at 2 pm and I was NOT HUNGRY so I went another 2 hours. And still I wasn’t starving but wanted to eat with my family. I had been making goodies all afternoon and had no desire to nosh while I was cooking. Unheard of! My mood is improved. I have more energy. I haven’t reached euphoria yet but I’m on the lookout for it. I hope you guys will do a podcast on the benefits on the clean fast. Or maybe you have and I just haven’t gotten to it yet. Anyway, if anyone else is struggling with IF please try fasting clean for a few weeks and see what happens! I know these guys don’t push the clean fast but I just wanted to help anyone else that’s struggling. :)
