Intermittent Fasting Part III – The 16/8 Protocol | CrossFit 269 …

March 6, 2013

This is part three in our five part series on intermittent fasting.As challenging as it is to implement the Warrior Diet, implementing the 16/8 protocol is equally easy. You just skip breakfast! There are numerous diets that follow the 16/8 protocol – the LeanGains method, the Renegade Diet, etc. We aren’t going to focus on one diet in particular but instead focus on the protocol in general.The theory behind the 16/8 protocol is virtually the same theory behind the Warrior Diet – your body performs better when it isn’t in a constant state of digestion. Though your eating window is longer than on Warrior, you are non-eating is window is still 16 hours long, which promotes better gut health than shorter (8-12 hour) non-eating windows.Because there are so many different dietary programs that follow the 16/8 protocol, they each have different reasons for why you should follow it.

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.
