Show Notes
In this science-backed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how your pre-fast meal dramatically impacts your ability to enter ketosis and burn fat effectively. They break down a compelling 2025 study showing that low-carb, high-fat meals before fasting accelerate time to ketosis by up to 12 hours compared to high-carb alternatives, while naturally boosting hunger-regulating hormones like GLP-1 by 27%. The hosts provide actionable strategies for optimizing OMAD timing and composition, explaining why breakfast timing matters more than you think and how simple macronutrient swaps can break through frustrating weight plateaus. Whether you're struggling with scale volatility or simply want to maximize your fasting results, this episode delivers the practical lever you can pull today to transform your next fast into a more effective, sustainable fat-burning experience.
