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.

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.

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.
