Have you heard of intermittent fasting? Basically, it’s a diet that involves a period of regular eating followed by one of fasting. The fast can last as long as 24 hours and involve only drinking water, black coffee or tea, or it can last for just eight hours. In other iterations, the fast period involves a restriction of calories – such as consuming only 600 calories on the fast day – which is much more feasible for many people

in ExerciseFitnessWritten by Larry Lewis Studies show that High Intensity Interval Training help burn up to nine times more fat than training traditional ways.A simple explanation of this is intensity interval training is basically a way of doing cardio training which involves going at a super high pace for a while then going back to a normal pace for a while so you can recover, and then repeating.High Intensity Interval Training is a fantastic way to decrease your workout time and up your fat burning. One of the key advantages of HIIT is that it does not allow your body to adapt.To me this is the training method that’s the secret to getting maximum weight loss results in the shortest amount of time.A great thing about HIIT training is it creates a demand for more oxygen in your body. This is known as EPOC, or Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption. What it means is for your body to return to a resting state after HIIT training, it uses excess oxygen over the next few hours

More good news for those of us short on workout time: A new study shows that Tabata definitely lives up to its reputation as a 4-minute fat-burning miracle workout.In the study, participants performed 20 seconds of bodyweight squat jumps, then rested 10 seconds. They repeated this sequence eight times for a total of 4 minutes and ended up blasting away an average 13.5 calories per minute (some participants burned even more!) and doubling their metabolic rates for at least 30 minutes afterward.“This particular style of interval training has profound effects even on short-term post-exercise metabolism,” says lead researcher Michele Olson, Ph.D., principle researcher at the Auburn University Montgomery Kinesiology Laboratory. “It would take five times the amount of typical cardio exercise to shed the same number of calories you can in a four-minute Tabata.”The important thing to note about Tabata is the intensity factor. We’re not talking four minutes of brisk walking: You better be going “all out” in order to reap these amazing benefits

Kyle gets really excited about not eating!For most of my athletic “career” I’ve been adding more features: more movements, more good foods, more cutting edge methods.  It never occurred to me that less could be better, especially with my food intake (I’ve always been skinny and trying to add weight). But recently on Primal Personality, Mark Sisson’s site (Marksdailyapple.com), I came across a series on intermittent fasting that brought up some pretty persuasive arguments for the benefits of occasional fasting. Further research corroborated the information on the Daily Apple: that going without grub for extended periods of time can have serious advantages for weight loss, lean muscle retention, longevity, brain health, disease prevention and improved determination and confidence.Coming from a guy who ranks eating among his top three favorite things to do close behind baby-making and sleep, fasting doesn’t exactly have strong appeal.  But in the face of the facts, I’ll be observing a weekly fast day for a month and reporting the results to you.One of the primary affects of fasting is pretty obvious: weight loss.  Not only does fasting restrict calorie intake, but it also encourages the secretion of growth hormone and decreases insulin levels.  GH is a primary fat burning hormone and insulin is what stores fat in our bodies (less of it allows more fat to be burned)[i].  All of these factors working together make for a mean weight loss punch, while keeping that lean muscle mass you worked so hard to get at Rugged Crossfit.With some of the junk we put in our bodies today, it’s not crazy that some days we feel like trash.
