This listener Q&A episode tackles the most common fasting challenges and misconceptions with real questions from the Fasting for Life community. Dr. Scott and Tommy address emotional eating during fasting when work stress derails your plan, explaining the difference between "cheating" and "choosing" and providing actionable "when-then" planning strategies to handle frustration without breaking your fast. Learn why larger lunch meals are better than dinner for insulin sensitivity and circadian biology optimization during 18:6 intermittent fasting. Discover how to interpret CGM (continuous glucose monitor) data to understand insulin sensitivity, including why the same meal causes bigger blood sugar spikes at night versus morning. Get clarity on OMAD calorie counting - why 40-60% of calculated needs is often optimal during fat loss phases, and when tracking becomes necessary. Understand the clean vs. dirty fasting debate around bone broth fasting for extended fasts, with insights on gut healing benefits and sustainability factors. Finally, learn the truth about diet sodas and artificial sweeteners during intermittent fasting - when they help vs. hinder your progress. This episode features success stories including a listener down 65 pounds with 55 to go, practical CGM interpretation tips, and honest discussions about emotional eating triggers we all face. Perfect for anyone struggling with fasting consistency, meal timing optimization, or understanding the flexibility within different fasting approaches.
