Here is one rule I’d let guide you a little bit when taking diet/exercise advice from online docs or gurus: take any advice with a grain of salt if that person does not have the results you’d want for yourself. Now I’m sure the good doctor is healthy as a horse, but I by no means find him to be a fitness expert and he by no means trains for strength or muscle gain.For a better perspective on intermittent fasting, I’d look at the blog LeanGains. He presents some good science and he has had pretty great results.

Every week I hear from readers who, despite doing everything correctly, aren’t consistently losing fat. They’ve adamantly pulled the 7 highly reactive foods that trigger intolerances, they’re using my free 4 x 4 Burst Training Workout 3 times a week, and they’re following The Virgin Diet rules to the letter.I understand your frustration, and it doesn’t help to say that most people doing The Virgin Diet get spectacular fast fat loss results. What matters is that you’re not getting those results.I’ve worked with numerous clients who struggle with weight loss resistance, a term I coined to describe people who are doing everything right yet can’t consistently lose 2 – 3 pounds every week.My first line of action involves pulling food sensitivities that can highjack fat loss. In cycle 1 of The Virgin Diet, you must be adamant about not letting the tiniest bit of soy, gluten, or other highly reactive foods creep in

Eat clean and lift heavy.If there’s one constant thing we say across Nerd Fitness, it’s that if you want to lose weight, gain muscle, or just look better than ever for an upcoming event, the one thing you must absolutely do is eat clean and lift heavy.But what exactly does that mean?  And how do you get started? And why does this work so darn well? We’ve touched on it a few times before, gone over your diet, and shown you some people it’s worked for, but we haven’t really gone into great detail.Today that changes.This is the first in a series of articles from NF Team Member Staci, covering all things strength training.

S We’ve been told since we were children that we need to eat three square meals a day. But new research shows that we don’t need to be eating throughout the course of the day. And in fact, it might even be undermining our health. These insights have given rise to what’s known as “intermittent fasting” — the daily restriction of meals and caloric intake. Here’s why some health experts believe you should starve yourself just a little bit each day.
