    Ivy Insights

    The Fasting Guy Podcast is an incredible show that dives into the personal journey of the host, Brett, as he explores various diets and weight loss strategies. This podcast stands out because it presents a relatable and real perspective on the ups and downs that many of us have experienced on our own weight loss journeys. It's refreshing to hear Brett openly discuss his failures and how he bounces back, providing motivation to listeners not to be too hard on themselves if they stumble along the way. This podcast has truly made a difference for me and has given me the motivation I needed to keep pushing forward.

    One of the best aspects of The Fasting Guy Podcast is Brett's authenticity and positivity. He serves as a true inspiration by consistently getting back up and starting again, showing that anyone can do it with determination. His genuine nature shines through in every episode, making him incredibly relatable. Additionally, Brett provides valuable insights and knowledge about weight loss and various diets from his own research and personal experiences. This combination of vulnerability and expertise creates a compelling listening experience.

    While there aren't many negatives to highlight about this podcast, one aspect that some listeners might find challenging is that they may not always agree with everything Brett says. However, this should be taken as an opportunity for healthy discussion rather than a flaw in the show itself. It's important to remember that everyone's weight loss journey is unique, so what works for one person may not work for another.

    In conclusion, The Fasting Guy Podcast is a remarkable resource for those seeking motivation and guidance on their weight loss journeys. Brett's honesty, vulnerability, and willingness to share intimate details of his life make him an inspiring figure who encourages listeners to keep going no matter what obstacles they face. With informative content backed by scientific research, this podcast provides practical tips for achieving maximum weight loss results. I highly recommend tuning in to The Fasting Guy Podcast – you won't regret it!

    Today I'll talk about my sustainable weight loss theory, weight set points, and a cheesecake rat study which is summarized below with a link. The article from the Irish Times discusses a study on rats conducted by Paul Kenny and colleagues at the Scripps Research Institute. The study found that rats fed high-fat, high-calorie junk food exhibited behaviors similar to drug addiction. The rats consumed more food over time and experienced changes in their brain's pleasure centers, becoming less sensitive and requiring more food to feel good. This study highlights the addictive potential of junk food and its implications for understanding obesity and its treatment. Citation 1; Junk food junkieshttps://www.snexplores.org/art...

    The effect of extended access to highly palatable foods on hunger, cravings, satiety, etc. It's good news! Study is here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p... Weight gain increased strikingly in rats with extended access to the cafeteria diet compared to the chow-only or restricted access groups (Fig. 1a). Weight gain also tended to be increased in the restricted access rats compared to chow-only rats, but this effect did not reach statistical significance. The development of obesity in extended access rats was closely associated with a worsening deficit in brain reward function, reflected in progressively elevated BSR thresholds
