Tim tells his story of getting food poisoning and a concussion on two Ambien on a flight from Hong Kong, then a caller asks about intermittent fasting and they critique Joe Rogan's diet advice as just another fad wrapped in pseudoscience.
- 37:23Tim argues that anaerobic metabolism, triggered by wind sprints, is what burns fat throughout the day.
- 38:01Keto and wind sprints are extreme measures, comparable to what boxers do to make weight.
- 38:16The extreme dieting approach is a reaction to self-hatred about being heavy, and Tim suggests incorporating healthier habits more gradually instead.
- 38:39Tim compares his all-or-nothing approach to an alcoholic who can't moderate—he can't just have a couple drinks or indulge occasionally.
- 39:09Tim questions whether Bobby wants to lose 50 pounds just to become a normal person again.
- 39:28Bobby says he needs to lose at least a hundred pounds, but Tim pushes back on the imprecision of his own goal-setting.
- 40:01They decide to open the phone lines for weight loss questions from callers.
