Unquestionably, the coolest diet hack to come across my radar in the past few years is a technique known as Intermittent Fasting (IF).  IF has a small, but cult-like following that is growing in numbers at an impressive rate.  If would probably be growing even faster if it wasn’t so completely puzzling for most people that encounter it.  To the uneducated, intermittent fasting probably doesn’t look that dissimilar from simple starvation

Building Muscle Slowlyby Brad PilonThis post was created simply because I was feeling sorry for myself this morning.I wasn’t making any gains. Lifting weights was stupid. All I was doing was maintaining – complete waste of my time.(Yes, I was being a baby)So I took my measurements… then compared them to all of my older measurements.At first, it looked like I had confirmed my suspicion – no growth ever!  …But on further inspection I realized that I had been making slow but steady improvements all along.I then pulled out the records of my DEXA scans at plugged them into a new row…As you can see, I was mistaken –  Slow but steady gains, slow but steady improvements in my circumferences.This is why we keep measurements – because without measurements we are just guessing. And weight on its own is a terrible way to measure progress… On each and every one of these measurement days I weighed somewhere between 170 and 180 pounds, but weight fluctuates so much it’s really not a valuable measurement tool unless it is accompanied by your circumference measurements.So lesson learned -Our eyes (and emotions) can deceive us… don’t trust them Over the last 3+ years with Eat Stop Eat, How Much Protein and Adonis Styled Workouts  I’ve been slowly adding muscle 5 pounds of muscle makes a big difference. I’ve managed to keep my body fat levels fairly stable (as measured by DEXA and my waist circumference)

This time of year, fat loss is an extremely popular topic. As with most topics, the fitness industry is full of many controversial opinions as to the right way to go about it. However, over the years I have found that many of what seems to be a raging debate can be quickly settled with a simple understanding of context. What is an excellent approach to take in one context can be totally inappropriate in another

Intermittent fasting: The good things it did to my body Posted by Amtul Q Farhat BBC:Many of the changes in my body when I took part in the clinical trial of an intermittent fasting diet, were no surprise. Eating very little for five days each month, I lost weight, and I felt hungry. I also felt more alert a lot of the time, though I tired easily. But there were other effects too that were possibly more important.During each five-day fasting cycle, when I ate about a quarter the average person’s diet, I lost between 2kg and 4kg (4.4-8.8lbs) but before the next cycle came round, 25 days of eating normally had returned me almost to my original weight.But not all consequences of the diet faded so quickly.“What we are seeing is the maintenance of some of the effects even when normal feeding resumes,” explains Dr Valter Longo, director of USC’s Longevity institute-MOREAll religions of world practice some kind of fastingShare this now!FacebookGoogleLinkedInRedditDiggStumbleUponEmailPrint Posted by Amtul Q Farhat on January 3, 2014.

About the benefits of Intermittent fastingA report by Peter Bowes from BBC News in Los Angeles today describes how his body responded to a fasting diet which he followed as part of a clinical trial. Each month he would eat very little for five days in a row. He not only felt more alert during these fasting days but he also saw improvements in his blood pressure.“Clinical tests showed that during the diet cycles my systolic blood pressure dropped by about 10%, while the diastolic number remained about the same.
