Many people are quick to chalk up their metabolism to genetics, claiming that no matter what they do, it cannot be changed. This gives a seemingly acceptable excuse for weight loss struggles, food intake, and energy levels. What exactly is the body’s metabolism and can it be altered?

Intermittent fasting or “scheduled eating” is a powerful strategy for shedding excess weight and reducing your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer Three major mechanisms by which fasting benefits your body include increased insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial energy efficiency; reduced oxidative stress; and increased capacity to resist stress, disease, and aging A recent human study confirmed that intermittent fasting was actually more effective for weight loss and improving insulin resistance than daily calorie restriction Intermittent fasting can also dramatically boost human growth hormone production, reduce inflammation, and lessen free radical damage—all of which have beneficial effects on your health To get started, consider skipping breakfast, and avoid eating at least three hours before you go to sleep. This should effectively restrict your eating to an 8-hour window or less each day http://fitness.mercola.com/sites/fitness/archive/2013/12/20/intermittent-fasting-weight-loss.aspxI have been doing IF to some degree or another for 3 years, and have found it is powerful for many reasons. One is it just breaks the habit of eating all the time. Two, it proved I don’t have to eat all the time to “get enough food” to perform well in workouts

Get Up And Code 16: Can I Do Intermittent Fasting? Posted on Aug 23, 2013 Intermittent Fasting…what is it? It is basically just going for a period of time without eating. Big Myth: You need to eat 6 meals a day to boost your metabolism. When you eat food you do have an increase in metabolism, but it doesn’t increase it beyond maybe 10%.

Many people interested in fitness and nutrition have heard the term “intermittent fasting”. Maybe you are wondering what the buzz is all about and whether it can be a part of a healthy lifestyle?In simple terms, intermittent fasting means going without food for a certain period of time. There are different types of intermittent fasting, including:All-day fasting- Usually this means eating an evening meal, and then going without food until the following evening, or approximately 24 hours. Alternating days of fasting- This involves fasting on one day and then eating normally the following day. Partial-day fasting- This allows for a specific window of time for eating, and then fasting the remainder of the day.

Can Intermittent Fasting be Part of a Healthy Lifestyle? | Merritt …
High-intensity interval training programme is designed to provide bigger payoff from workouts in less time. It helps improve current fitness level in short sessions by increasing metabolism rate and cutting workout sessions to a fraction of the time. Interval training is an effective combination of high-bursts of exercise and periods of low-intensity exercises, or active rest. The programme requires raising heart rates to 85% or more of its maximum capacity. The maximum heart rate of an individual can be calculated by subtracting the age from 220 and then multiplying by 0.85

HIIT Training Provides Same High Benefits with Less Exercise Time …
A few months ago I wrote a post about considering adding interval training into your tennis workout. Well I put my words into actions, so I thought I’d give an update on my findings.As a refresher, High Intensity Interval Training (or HIIT) consists of mixing high intensity periods of exercise with periods of lower intensity exercise. In my earlier post, I pondered whether this type of exercise would more closely mimic the start and stop nature of tennis.For a few weeks now I’ve altered my workout routine. I’ve thrown out one of my two weekly cardio sessions and replaced it with a HIIT routine. For this new routine, I’ve been visiting a local high school track. I sprint all-out on the straightaways and then walk the curves. I then repeat this exercise until I’ve completed 4 laps around the track, consisting of 8 separate sprints. Once I’ve completed my laps, I’m done for the day.Now only doing 4 laps around a track sounds pretty simple, right? Even as I wrote that last paragraph describing my routine, I felt as if it sounded like a lazy man’s workout. But trust me, this will kick your butt the first time you do it! Let me clarify one thing first. When I say sprint, I don’t mean jogging hard. I mean trying to run as fast as I am capable of on each straightaway. By the time I get to the 5th of 8 sprints, I’m sucking wind! Sprints 6 and 7 are even more brutal, and when sprint 8 comes around, I just want to be done!I’ve only done this HIIT routine a couple of times, but I’ve already found a few things that I like about it. First, the whole routine only takes about 15-20 minutes. If I don’t have a lot of time to do cardio work, I can easily find time to fit in a routine like this. Second, I find this routine to be easier on my knees. Yes, it’s a more intense form of exercise, but I’m only on my feet for about 15 minutes total. And only a portion of those 15 minutes actually consists of high-impact sprinting, with the rest being the walking/recovery period. When I do my typical cardio routine of jogging, I’m exposing my knees to 30 or more minutes of continuous pounding. Finally, this HIIT exercise really kicks my butt! The few times I’ve done this routine, I’ve felt fine about 15 minutes afterwards. But the next day I felt the after effects. I woke up to find most of my muscles were incredibly sore, and not just in my lower body. It was as if I had gone through an intense weightlifting session!All in all, I’m pretty pleased with this HIIT routine and I intend to continue it in place of one of my cardio sessions. I believe that I’m getting equal or better results from my old workout schedule, with less overall wear and tear on my body.Along the lines of protecting your knees, the sprint/walk/sprint/walk routine I’ve been doing could also be accomplished on a bike or in a swimming pool for a lower impact form of exercise. And again, I feel compelled to give my standard disclaimer to any readers. I’m not a trainer or expert on anything regarding tennis or fitness, so please take the time to research what works best and is safest for you. HIIT is a pretty intense form of exercise so I would recommend getting into pretty good shape before even considering it.

| E-mail| PrintHappy weightYesterday’s intro about intermittent fasting got a lot of attention so clearly a lot of you are interested in learning more about it. I hope many of you will take the time to read the free e-book I mentioned which explains everything in great detail. Dr Berardi spent six months testing many different methods before he wrote about it so he is truly speaking from experience.I am going to take the weekend to prepare my next blog about this topic, because it really is important to talk about every angle, positive and negative, and I want to be thorough.I have to say, much of what Dr Berardi explains in his book is spot on and as I have been exploring two of the IF methods it has been so helpful to have his experiences to draw from as reassurance when I am hitting the tough moments. My workouts at the gym have definitely been tough.But I will also say, I have had a lot of pleasant surprises too.In the meantime it’s important to know that IF is definitely not for everyone, and I would not recommend it to anyone unless they had a really good handle on the necessary basics of nutrition first. If you can’t even stick to a well balanced, clean diet 90% of the time without implementing fasting, you definitely won’t be able to keep a handle on it with IF
