If you are like many people I know, after Thanksgiving you feel terrible about the food choices you made and think you have totally blown your “diet.” Some will decide to take matters into their own hands immediately and get back on track. Others may start the spiral downward till New Years and let all their hard work for the year be sabotaged. And then there are those who may have heard about new research on intermittent fasting and think that’s the way to undo the holiday damage.In an unpublished study of 26 obese adults, those who fasted completely every other day and ate with no restrictions the rest of the time lost about the same amount of weight in two months as those who didn’t fast at all. But four months later, after patients were off the intervention, those who had the initial “intermittent fasting” intervention had dropped more pounds and had greater improvements in memory than those on a standard diet. [Tweet this.]Study author William Troy Donahoo, Ph.D., said at a conference that the difference in weight loss may have been due to people continuing to fast after the study ended, or that fasting somehow changes your metabolism.So should we all jump on this bandwagon

Healthy Intermittent Fasting: for Weight Loss, Muscle Gain and …

Intermittent fasting (also known as IF) involves eating very little or nothing for short periods throughout the week followed by a normal (healthy) diet the rest of the time. The theory, which has been tested in various scientific studies, is that fasting every now and then can help us lose weight, reduce the risk of certain diseases and even prolong our lifespan.While weight loss advice in recent years has been to eat little and often to ‘keep up the metabolism’, longer periods between eating may in fact be much more useful for weight loss and overall health.There are lots of different ways to go about intermittent fasting. Some diet programs allow you to eat a total of 4-500(for women)/5-600 (for men) calories during a fast day, some advocate a full 24 hours without a morsel of food passing your lips, and others allow a 6, 8 or 10 hour window in each 24 hours in which you can eat. Perhaps the most well-known is the 5:2 diet, first mentioned by Dr Michael Mosley in the 2012 documentary:‘Eat, Fast and Live Longer’.

Calorie Counting | Brad Pilon's 'Eat Blog Eat'

Calorie counting is a weight loss tool. And it is a very valuable tool. There are many people who have successfully lost weight by doing nothing other than learning how to count calories and adjusting their diets accordingly.  However, in my mind Calorie counting should be used as a tool, not a crutch. You should be learning from calorie counting. In fact, after 2-3 months of Calorie counting you really shouldn’t need to count Calories anymore.Why?Because if you’ve been counting accurately for a couple of months then you should now know what the ‘right’ amount of food feels like.  After 3 months, you should know what ‘right’ feels like while eating a wide variety of foods, on the days you workout vs.

Image Source: thejoshuacollective.comAn empty stomach is perfectly natural. Fasting is something we all do while we’re asleep and whenever we don’t have food in our mouths — you’re probably fasting right now. Due in part to a recent spate of bestsellers and documentaries, “intermittent fasting” (or “IF,” typically defined as consuming nothing but water for 16 to 36 hours) has gained tremendous popularity in health and fitness circles as a way to lose fat, live longer, and even build muscle.But taking a break from food can be incredibly controversial, particularly among those who are still sold on the old doctrine of eating six small meals per day.
