I stumbled across intermittent fasting (IF for short) by accident. In fact, I’d been using a form of IF for several years before I realized there was a name for it.It started in 1999, when I got into the habit of going to the gym first thing in the morning before eating anything. I’d been reading Body-for-LIFE by Bill Phillips, and “fasted cardio” was one of the things he recommended.

Intermittent fasting offers different lifestylesInfographic | Evelin SaavedraIntermittent fasting consists of a 16-hour fast followed by 8 hours of eating. Alexia Laines, ContributorOctober 8, 2014The benefits to the dieting trend intermittent fasting has some people asking, is breakfast really the most important meal of the day?The diet industry capitalizes on selling weight loss seekers miracle pills or ‘cleanses’ that make bold claims that too often end up falling short.Intermittent fasting isn’t a trend diet but rather a lifestyle change. In order to achieve any result that you are looking for, you must fast for at least 16 hours with an eight-hour window to consume food. For example when practicing intermittent fasting, you should only eat from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., or whatever time period fits your schedule.“I have always read about how you have to eat a big meal in the morning,” said Samantha White, a senior at CSUEB, “but after reading about intermittent fasting, maybe its not.”The 16-hour fast is required for the eating pattern to be effective because it takes about eight hours for your body to burn your glycogen stores and allows your body to start burning fat.““Even though the fasting helps, it really comes down to what you eat.””— Marcelle LevineAccording to Dr.

Yesterday I read another article that took the position of excess calories not CAUSING weight gain. Instead, the authors argued that somehow sick/diseased/altered body fat caused us to overeat, thus causing body fat. Their theory put the blame on insulin and carbs (excess insulin MAKES your fat sick).While I have concerns over this line of thinking that I’ll share in a different post, the main question that swirled in my head was “If so many people have issues with eating carbohydrates, then why can I eat carbs?”The easy answer to this question would be the ‘snowflake’ defense – That I’m a unique little snowflake, special in this world. I have some sort of rare unique ability to process carbohydrates…  But that’s not a probable answer.I, like most of us, am average. Sure, we all have areas in life where we excel, but physiologically speaking I’m not gifted by any means, but I do eat carbs… lots of them

In the last couple of weeks I’ve spoken in-depth about the importance of focusing on what fits as opposed to focusing on what’s right.In other words, paying attention to what works for you as opposed to the specific reasons why different approaches MIGHT work.I guess another way of looking at is ‘application’ vs ‘theory’.As an example, Eat Stop Eat is the right ‘fit’ for me. Fasting once or twice a week for 24 (ish) hours works well FOR ME. It has worked for me for over 7 years and I’m guessing it will continue to work for me in the foreseeable future. Eat Stop Eat is what ‘fits’.Now, I could get easily get tangled up in how Eat Stop Eat is RIGHT.Maybe it’s the carbs. After all, I do go 24 hours twice a week where I have virtually no dietary glucose load.

The concept of the Reverse Taper Diets is still one of my favorite ideas.Without getting too technical, the concept was that you should be in your largest calorie deficit (eating the least amount of food) at the beginning of your diet, when you have the most fat to lose and thus the most fat available to be used as a fuel. Then, as you slowly lose fat you also slowly up your calories, ideally ending at a spot where you are eating maintenance level calories when you are at your leanest.The benefit of dieting in this manner is two fold: Firstly, you have much less risk of rebound weight gain. At the end of the diet, you would be eating exactly the amount you need to eat to maintain your new ideal body. Secondly, you would always have available energy so you could workout and so your energy levels didn’t diminish the further into the diet you lasted (lots of people complain about not having enough energy to workout by the end weeks of a traditional diet).The only problem that seems to come up with this  approach is that people don’t like to fiddle with their calories, and they also have a very hard time increasing their calories if they’re seeing really good  fat loss progress with the lower Calorie amounts.

Pin ItCalorie restriction (CR) and a ketogenic diet (KD) target the same molecular pathways that are also targeted individually by drugs to improve cancer treatment outcomes. Arrows indicate activation, truncated lines inhibition. Carbohydrate (CHO) restriction up-regulates fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis (beneficial for normal tissues) and impairs glycolysis and glutaminolysis (detrimental to tumor cells). Full study here.Health Impact News Editor Comments:One of the truly exciting new frontiers in nutrition therapy is the study of the high-fat low-carb ketogenic diet, especially in relation to preventing and curing cancer. The ketogenic diet as a therapeutic diet is not new.

Call it Intermittent Fasting (IF), alternate day fasting, 5:2 Diet, 4:3 Diet, 18-hour Diet, Every Other Day Diet, Fast Diet or Starvation Diet, but going without food for a period of time each week continues to gain attention in the scientific community. Classic animal studies linking calorie restriction to longevity have suggested protection against obesity, type 2 diabetes, inflammation, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and reduced metabolic risk factors associated with cancer while improving markers of cardiovascular aging (1). Long-term daily caloric restriction is difficult to maintain in humans as it often induces weight re-gain and non-compliance.

Here’s what you need to know…• Intermittent fasting (IF) has limited uses in limited populations, but for many people it leads to less muscle, more body fat, and even disordered eating in the long term.• Fasted weight training, often part of intermittent fasting plans, is misguided and counterproductive.• If you follow many intermittent fasting diets to a T, you border on having or developing two different eating disorders.• To break the destructive habits created by failed IF plans, always eat breakfast, use workout nutrition, select quality foods, and learn to listen to your body.Let’s say I was approached by Kim Jong-un, the murderous North Korean dictator, and asked for dietary advice. Being a patriotic all-American girl, I’d of course give him the worst advice I could think of. My plan would be to provide a diet that fooled him into thinking it was working, but ultimately wrecked his health, made him miserable, and maybe even gave him an eating disorder as a bonus.Now, how would I do that? I’d probably tell him to starve all day, exercise in a fasted state, then eat a ton in the evening.
