Great conversation! Thanks.

In layman terms, what actually is data driven fasting? This is a great discussion but not for someone looking to simply get the concept first

[@medheads]

It's timing eating based on data, for example blood sugar levels

[@Shiny54]

My understanding of how it works is that it means not eating until you need to, based on your own personalised trigger. Basically, cutting out snacking! It doesn't mean that you are necessarily going to be on a 12 hr fast at the get go! Sometimes you might miss a meal, other times you can eat three nutritious meals.

How is "calorie restriction synonymous with starvation"? One has to control ENERGY intake (fat and carbs) and that which is measured is managed so to reduce the extra available calories packed on your fat ass one has to count calories and eat them when your blood glucose is low. this is the worst interview I've ever heard. DATA DRIVEN FASTING is an exquisite theory, the science is undeniable, and there's so much to discuss here; however, the interviewer wants to know why he can't eat Tim Tams.... thus, he wasted my time with his cheesy Dad jokes. He didn't prepare for this interview. He keeps cutting off the speaker and won't let him make his point (egomaniacal!)

I totally agree, it was a terrible interview,I felt like the interviewer didn't buy this DATA DRIVEN FASTING theory at all and yet he had to ask some questions... Anyway, I hope he does a better job of looking after his patients though. I've watched a few interviews, talks with Marty and I really don't buy his data driven fasting method.... He makes an assumption in this interviews, talks and in the book he wrote that people after fasting, get so hungry that they eat anything, particularly the wrong food. In my experience and I see this all the time, that doesn't happen. I reversed T2D from an a1c of 14.5 down to 5.5 using fasting and keto and I read about this in forums all the time.... People who really want to reverse diabetes, will make lifestyle changes and will not eat anything after a period of fasting.... In my case and most of the people I know in forums, we are particularly careful of what and how much we eat.... Once you become fat adapted, you are not struggling for the next meal, and with longer / extended fast, the second day is the hardest for me because the body expects food around the time I normally eat but after 48h it becomes easy..... The longest I've done is 8 days and I could have gone for a month but my ketone levels went up to 8 mmol/l after playing tennis and I got scared so I stopped my fast. I don't see this data driven approach as something that would help me, in fact, it would be very impractical. Imagine my wife asking " are you having dinner with us today?" and me saying "I'm not sure, it depends on my glucose level" that's nonsense to me. I mostly do one meal a day 7 days a week and that works very well, every 3 months I do a 5 day fast. Again, people trying to profit from some idea that some people in desperation buy. Further more, people following a standard American diet and following this data driven fasting theory, would probably have to eat every 3 days lol which is totally crazy.... The more I think about it, this is daft idea. Fasting + keto ( low carb and high protein) works well.

@@MrRRSODLYes agree with every word.. I am well fat adapted. I never end a fast by eating everything in sight. What nonsense. Also, I never eat carbs because I am Strict carnivore. Data Driven fasting and eating is wonderful for type 1 Diabetics. I see how that would really work. But for type 2’s. Well not me!!! . I would never subscribe.
