In this episode, Dr. Scott and Tommy discuss the finer points of the elephant in the room--what to do when the going gets tough. Sticking to our fasting windows is the key to long term success, so they zoom in on the decision to begin a fast, the motivating factors that drive us, and the decision to break the fast. Willpower plays a role, but it's a finite resource, so they give examples of how to create a system to get better results with less thought, energy, and effort.   Have a question you'd like us to answer?
