Ep. 297 - Volumetric Diet vs Intermittent Fasting Study | 16:8 Time-Restricted Eating Wins for Adherence | Low vs High Hedonic Foods | Breaking Fasts with Volume Foods | Sustainable Weight Loss | New Fasting Persona Quiz!
This episode analyzes a groundbreaking 12-week study comparing volumetric diet approaches with 16:8 time-restricted eating, revealing why intermittent fasting leads to better long-term adherence and sustainability. Dr. Scott and Tommy break down research showing that while both groups achieved similar weight loss and body composition improvements, the fasting group maintained 83% adherence (5.8 days per week) compared to 76% for the volumetric diet group - a crucial 7% difference that compounds significantly over time. Learn about the hedonic food scale and how high-hedonic foods (chocolate, chips, nut butters) versus low-hedonic foods (vegetables, soups, melons) impact your fasting success and food choices. Discover how to combine the best of both approaches by using volumetric eating principles as fast-breakers - incorporating water-based soups, raw vegetables with salsa, and high-water fruits to naturally reduce caloric density while maintaining satisfaction. The hosts explain why fasting simplifies decision-making, reduces food noise, and eliminates decision fatigue compared to calorie counting and macro tracking. Get practical strategies for closing eating windows successfully, preventing late-night pantry raids, and using volumetric foods as stepping stones toward cleaner fasting habits. This episode provides evidence that fasting's simplicity leads to better long-term results, while offering tactical ways to leverage volume eating during nutrition windows for enhanced satiety and easier window closure, ultimately supporting sustainable weight loss without the complexity of traditional diet approaches.
