A new article from DetoxDieter.org examines the pros and cons of intermittent fasting eating plans.(Newswire.net — January 28, 2014) — A new focus on intermittent fasting, specifically the 4:3 diet, has drawn new attention to the benefit of periodic fasting for weight loss. A new informative article from DetoxDieter.org examines benefits and drawbacks associated with intermittent fasting.It seems that people looking to lose extra fat are turning to intermittent fasting on a more frequent basis. By definition, intermittent fasting refers to consuming a set amount of calories during a specific time period, and not eating at all the rest of the time. As example, the 5:2 fasting plan encourages people to eat normally for five days, then fasting for the remaining two days a week.If intermittent fasting plans are shown to be a positive way to lose weight, they could prove to be a real health benefit for men. Research demonstrates that these eating plans appear to be popular and preferred by men.

If you are starting off with ZERO times per week, some say to start with ONE time per week, which is great. However, if you decide to only resistance train ONCE and you go ALL OUT, then you are probably going to be sore for 5 days.My suggestion is you lift 4 days a week, even starting out, BUT only do a few minutes. Do 4, 10-minute metabolic resistance workouts, like THESE for the first couple of weeks, THEN increase your weight and workout time.Click HERE to receive one FREE metabolic resistance training workout video every week.2.)    Circuit and Interval Programs for EfficiencyI don’t know about you, but I value my time dearly.

Also check out our Client Jan Newsletter We have been using the Tabata system of training in our studio for several years now both in our Met-X-Fitness and in our more Blitz / Boot Camp orientated Pilates Mat and Reformer Class’s and because I know all about the excellent benefits and results of this style of training I rather stupidly assumed everyone else did too. I realized last week that this was not the case when on two separate occasions I was asked by a client and a trainer I was chatting with – the same two questions what exactly is Tabata? And how does it work? So here it is – Tabata, a high intensity, short duration effective exercise systemTabata – What is it?Tabata (developed by it’s name sake Japanese Professor Izumi Tabata) is a high intensity interval training system (HIIT) that since its inception has provided remarkable results – he originally developed this system for the Japanese speed skating team in 1996 Tabata – How does it work?

T NATION | Fasting: Sound Science, Behavioral BS

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.
