1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Can you study on intimitted fasting. Researchers of analyzed twenty 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: two global trials found no clear advantage over standard dietary advice. 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 1: Weight loss was broadly similar to traditional dieting, with no 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,239 Speaker 1: strong evidence of extra metabolic benefits. Now Alex Flint is 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: the founder of Body Talk Gym and is with us. 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 1: Alex morning, Very good morning. 7 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 2: See Mike. 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: Would you have said this before the study or not? 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely would. I think it's one of those 10 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: things that in the game and nutritionness, gym owners, etc. 11 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 2: Know that we aren't overweight because we eat at breakfast time. 12 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: We're simply overweight because we're eating too much over twenty 13 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: four hours. 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: See. I argue, it depends on whether you're doing it 15 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: for weight. See. I'm an intimittent faster, but I don't 16 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: think I do it for weight. I do it to you. 17 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: It helps the body, and you know, you give it 18 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: a rest and all that sort of stuff. So it 19 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: depends on why you're doing it or what you're looking at, 20 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: doesn't it. 21 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it does, Mike. There's been some really interesting studies 22 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: in those areas where they have put people into different groups. 23 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: So a fasting group, a group that just regular old 24 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: calorie restrictions, so they eat normal meals, but they're just 25 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: reducing their calories. And what we see over a longer 26 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: periods of time, so we're talking twelve months plus, there 27 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: is very very little difference in the outcome. So when 28 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 2: we look at things like metabolic markers inflammation, blood sugar, 29 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: our blood pressure, our heart rates, there really doesn't exist 30 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: any differences between the two groups. So I think what 31 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: we've found is that with in a minute fasting in particular, 32 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: it's a really good way of portion control, but with 33 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: a much better marketing department. 34 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, so where did it come from and why did 35 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: it take off? Then if it doesn't work? 36 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: So obviously, fasting has been is something that's been around 37 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 2: for hundreds of probably not thousands of years. You know, 38 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: we've had tbeit months all the way through the modern 39 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: day influences you'd say using fasting, and it definitely does 40 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: have metabolic effects which you know are favorable. However, what 41 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: we've found is that when it comes down to it, 42 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: it really does come down to fat loss is the 43 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: reason why we get these improved health outcomes, and that 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 2: really matters on what we're eating over the long term. 45 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: So if you can stick to in a minute fasting, 46 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: it's a fantastic tool for you. But it's not a talisman. 47 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 2: It's just something which is not superior to regular calorie 48 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: control methods and eating patterns. 49 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: Right. Have you got a view on GLP ones in general? 50 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, Mike. When it comes down 51 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: to it, for a lot of people, the issue is 52 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: it's habits and behavior and long term ingrained issues, which 53 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: glp ones are something which are really helping. What they 54 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: largely do is quite in the food noise in people's minds. So, 55 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 2: you know, for a lot of people that have trouble 56 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: over eating, it's just the fact that food is consistently 57 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: on their mind. Glp ones are something which helped to 58 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 2: just calm the noise, you know, make them think less 59 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 2: about food overall. So they've definitely got their place and 60 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: they're going to grow in popularity and use over the 61 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: next short while. 62 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: It's a fascinating story. Alex, appreciate your insight very much. Alexplant, 63 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: who's the founder of a body talk gym and match 64 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: fit coach. Everything from the weight on a plane for 65 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: GLP ones these days to the secondhand clothing market is 66 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: being upended in a major way to food production and 67 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: what people are producing, because once you're on GLP ones, 68 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: your whole world changes. And so there are industry after 69 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: industry after industry is grappling with what really appears to 70 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: be on the surface anyway, some sort of food revolution. 71 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: For more from the mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 72 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: news talks. 73 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: It'd be from six am weekdays, or follow the podcast 74 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio.
