Tue 02-04-2013Intermittent FastingThe most common question I get asked at the moment as a nutritionist is “Does intermittent fasting work or is it a diet ‘fad’?”  When I answer, “Yes, the current scientific evidence is very compelling” the next questions come thick and fast…“How do I do it?”“How long do I have to do it for?”“Won’t I feel starving?”“What do I eat when I’m fasting?”“What do I eat when I’m not fasting?“How does it work?”The list goes on and the answers are less clear. Hence here I am, writing a blog to hopefully make it all a little less discombobulating.So intermittent fasting …. What is it and how does it work?Intermittent fasting is having regular fasting times during the week when you eat no or few calories for a set period. That period has been set from 16hrs to 48hrs depending on the trial.  The truth is, how often and how long you should fast depends on your lifestyle and goals.

Q&A: Rest Between Exercises Written on March 29, 2013 in Exercise, Q&AHello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to our email list for free updates on this topic! Question:How long should I rest between exercises?Answer:It depends on your goals and your current level of conditioning.If you’re just starting out I recommend resting just long enough after an exercise to not feel winded when starting the next. Depending on your condition you may not feel winded at all, especially since your focus during the first few weeks should be on learning and practicing proper form rather than training intensely. However, as you become more skilled, learn to train more intensely, and gradually use more resistance you will start to experience a greater metabolic and cardiovascular demand, especially during compound exercises involving large muscle groups.At this point, if you are only concerned with increasing muscular strength and size it probably makes little difference whether you rest a few minutes between exercises or rush from one to the next.

Fat loss; If you’re having problems with it, this post might help…I have a little project for you to help you hit the ground running for New Years.  I want you to start now…. As in right now – right this very minute.And what I want you to do is a little thought experiment.I want you to  STOP thinking about exercise as a way to burn calories and lose fat.Stop it. In fact, I want you to pretend that it’s not even possible, that somehow workouts don’t burn any calories at all.(I’m not saying that it’s actually impossible, I just want you to THINK that it is)I also want you to stop thinking about ways to build muscle with your diet.STOP!Obviously you do need food to build muscle, but for this experiment let’s stop thinking of magic combinations or timings, or reasons to massively overeat…Instead I want you to embrace the Eat Stop Eat approach and think of your workouts as a way to build or maintain your muscle, and think of your diet as how you lose body fat and maintain low (but healthy) levels of body fat.That’s it.No cross over.
