Fasting and Steroids

July 9, 2009

Ok, Warning – I get pretty philosophical with this post.
Number one question I get about fasting?
What about losing muscle mass?

The truth is (as I point out in Eat Stop Eat) you don’t lose muscle while following Eat Stop Eat because you are resistance training AND fasting.
Of course, this naturally leads to questions about how much protein a person should be eating.
In fact, there were enough questions about protein that I ended up having to write my book “How Much Protein?” to properly answer the questions.
These questions led me to some questions of my own…
Mainly…
Why Protein?

If people are so concerned about their muscle mass, why is it protein that they asked about? Why not anabolic steroids?
After all even the most DIE HARD protein pusher will admit that the effectiveness of protein is very limited.
Protein just isn’t going to make you massive.
Anabolic steroids on the other hand…They have a very good track […]

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
