This week Dr. Steven Geanopolus and Andry Cieply are with us to continue our conversation from the last episode about fasting. As we begin thinking about our New Year’s resolutions it’s a topic that may be on many people’s minds and so we’re happy to give it some extra attention. In this conversation we delve into the remarkable story of Angus Barbary, who fasted for 382 days, losing 276 pounds. We explore the physiological mechanisms behind extended fasting, the role of ketosis, and the importance of electrolytes. The discussion also critiques recent studies on intermittent fasting and emphasizes the need for personalized nutrition approaches. In this conversation, Dr. Steven G and Andy discuss the nuances of fasting, time-restricted eating, and the importance of energy balance in weight management. We explore genetic variations in fat storage, the evolutionary perspective on health, and the challenges faced by individuals on long-term low-calorie diets. We also discuss the significance of muscle building and protein intake in maintaining metabolic health and the potential benefits of reverse dieting for those struggling with weight loss.
