This time of year, fat loss is an extremely popular topic. As with most topics, the fitness industry is full of many controversial opinions as to the right way to go about it. However, over the years I have found that many of what seems to be a raging debate can be quickly settled with a simple understanding of context. What is an excellent approach to take in one context can be totally inappropriate in another

If I had to lose weight with maximum speed and I had minimum time (either daily or time to weight loss target…say, a wedding) I would do four things: 1) Intermittent Fasting 2) Tabata whole-body sprints: Kettlebells, Club-bells, or Bodyweight (say, Burpees) four times a week, 20 seconds work/10 seconds rest, for 20 minutes. 3) Drink a gallon of water a day. 4) Journal my dreams, thoughts, emotions, and actions. About five years ago, I started Intermittent fasting, after accidentally encountering the topic while researching caloric restriction. It is the easiest, simplest, most effective means of weight control I’ve ever heard of

When I first looked at IF, I came across several blogs which, whilst extolling the virtues of IF, also emphasised strength training – specifically weightlifting:http://www.leangains.com/ Martin Berkham – IF and weight-liftinghttp://www.marksdailyapple.com/welcome-to-marks-daily-apple/#axzz2pS7TUoOH Mark Sisson – The Primal Blueprinthttp://www.eatstopeat.com/ Brad Pilon – blogging on IF since 2006http://gettingstronger.org/ Todd Becker and Hormesis(All these blogs are well worth perusing – they contain a wealth of info, most of it freely offered.)I did nothing about this, rationalising that these blogs reflected the particular interests of the blogger. However, I’ve now been practicing IF for almost 2 years, and I’ve recently added strength building exercises to that regime – inspired, it has to be said, by the womenfolk on the Mumsnet 5:2 threads.Here’s my programme so far:Back exercises: I had a problem with my back, many years ago, so, since then I’ve been doing two daily exercises to prevent a recurrence:I lie on my back on the floor with my knees bent and do 100 curls while keeping my lower back on the floor – arms out in frontAnd then I do the reverse – I lie on my front and bring my head and shoulders up whilst keeping my hips on the floor. Up until I retired – over 20 years ago, now – I cycled to work, in summer reaching about 120 miles a week – so I was pretty fit. I joined a gym for a few years – mainly treadmill and cross-trainer. Then I gained access to a small swimming pool – I spend about 30 minutes a day in there

Intermittent fasting: The good things it did to my body Posted by Amtul Q Farhat BBC:Many of the changes in my body when I took part in the clinical trial of an intermittent fasting diet, were no surprise. Eating very little for five days each month, I lost weight, and I felt hungry. I also felt more alert a lot of the time, though I tired easily. But there were other effects too that were possibly more important.During each five-day fasting cycle, when I ate about a quarter the average person’s diet, I lost between 2kg and 4kg (4.4-8.8lbs) but before the next cycle came round, 25 days of eating normally had returned me almost to my original weight.But not all consequences of the diet faded so quickly.“What we are seeing is the maintenance of some of the effects even when normal feeding resumes,” explains Dr Valter Longo, director of USC’s Longevity institute-MOREAll religions of world practice some kind of fastingShare this now!FacebookGoogleLinkedInRedditDiggStumbleUponEmailPrint Posted by Amtul Q Farhat on January 3, 2014.
