I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping for an easy weekend. Yes, I realize I’m saying that on a Sunday but my weekend is Sunday so just go with it. So to go with that whole easy feeling, I want to share a graphic that FitKit sent out earlier this week about HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). The ironic thing was that my chiropractor (slash boss) had sent out an article to the team about the benefits of HIIT this week week.Our office is filled with runners, soccer and basketball players, cross fit enthusiasts, as well as other fitness minded folks, it’s important to remember and share the benefits of HIIT training with our patients. We use HIIT workouts in our training sessions but it’s important to share why this type of training is important and some tips on how to incorporate/use it in your workouts.And that’s what I’m going with today, sharing:Are you a fan of HIIT workouts?Share this: This entry was posted in Fitness, Talk Less Say More by admin

Here is a popular science article on intermittent fasting, something that extends life in mice, but which is not as well researched as calorie restriction, the gold standard for science on healthy life extension. There appears to be considerable overlap in the mechanisms involved in calorie restriction and intermittent fasting, but it’s not all exactly the same when gene expression patterns are examined, to pick one example.Many diet and exercise trends have origins in legitimate science, though the facts tend to get distorted by the time they achieve mainstream popularity. Benefits are exaggerated. Risks are downplayed. Science takes a backseat to marketing

On the Health Benefits of Intermittent Fasting: Makes senseBy george wesley dannells on Mar 11, 2013 in All categories…recent scientific research, including many animal studies and some human trials, has begun to demonstrate the health benefits of various intermittent patterns of fasting and voluntary abstinence. Because intermittent fasting replicates the feast-or-famine dietary patterns of our ancestors, many researchers believe emptying the human digestive system and allowing it to self-cleanse and purify without the constant presence of food confers lifelong health advantages.http://bahaiteachings.org/the-benefits-of-intermittent-fasting Makes surprising sense. -gw

Which method of intermittent fasting do you prefer? – Nutrition …

It seems the benefits of condensing your food to the morning are circadian in nature, but it’s harder to resist eating in the evening, there’s an obvious social restriction to avoiding dinner, and some find it hard to sleep when hungry. It seems the benefits of condensing your food to the evening are better hunger management, social acceptance, and perhaps sleep (if not eating too late), but this seems to work against our circadian biology to some extent. The benefits of splitting into breakfast and dinner seem to be a trade off of the above, while avoiding afternoon drowsiness, and not taking too much time between food for those who comfortably go 16+ hours.All seem to have some benefit from autophagy and “time away from food.” Of course this assumes a two meal pattern, though there’s a lot of overlap with the one large extended “meal” over a similar number of hours. I think three meals with 5-6 hours between them (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) could be quite a bit more beneficial than snacking, but I’m then wondering if any additional benefits would be gained from removing one of the meals that are worth the downsides? Perhaps the weekly fasting is a bargain along this spectrum?My thoughts are generally split into 1) What would be the most appropriate method to follow given research findings and our biology, and 2) which is more practical given our actual hunger and social restrictions?

The Intermittent Fasting Dilemma: How Many Meals Per Day Should …

Recently by Ori Hofmekler: The Best Foods that Fill You Up and Boost Your Metabolism and Shed PoundsStory at-a-glance There is an emerging consensus that narrowing the window of time that you consume food may have enormous health benefits and also help you reduce the percentage of body fat. Benefits of intermittent fasting include reduced oxidative stress; increased insulin sensitivity; increased mitochondrial energy efficiency; and increased capacity to resist stress, disease, and aging Most intermittent fasting programs, including alternate day fasting, once or twice a week fasting, and once every other week fasting are, in the best case, only partially beneficial as they do not accommodate your circadian rhythm Your body is programmed for nocturnal feeding, and the one meal a day regimen is the only intermittent fasting (IF) program that accommodates your innate circadian clock and maximize the beneficial effects you get from IF on a daily basis Most foods negate the effects of fasting, but there are some exceptions. Foods that can be safely eaten without compromising your fast include fast-assimilating nutrient-dense foods such as quality whey protein, green vegetables and berries The intermittent fasting approach has been getting increased recognition these days. But 10 years ago, it was a different story.When I introduced The Warrior Diet concept about 12 years ago, it was highly criticized by mainstream fitness authorities as an “extreme and dangerous” approach to dieting.
