Intermittent Fasting: Part 3 | FitnessRX for Women

May 16, 2013

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article describing some of the basic principles of intermittent fasting. You can review that article to get all of the details and set the frameworks for your nutrition plan.In the second part of this series, I detailed how to set up your caloric intake and establish a baseline of macronutrients for the day. You can also see an example of how to set up your eating plan based around evening training sessions.Today, I want to break down how to set up your daily nutrition plan using intermittent fasting for those who do morning training sessions. For my own personal schedule, I train in the mid-morning, so here I’ll show you what to do for that time of day and also for an early morning session.Before I get into the specifics of this, I want you to understand that I am by no means saying intermittent fasting is the only way to eat. I use this myself and many of my personal training clients love it, because they have seen great results in fat loss, strength and energy and they have been able to simplify their daily meal plans.There are some days when my fasts last 18 hours and some days when they last only 12.

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.
