The results of the study at hand clearly suggest: There is no single ideal type of exercise; plus: What’s optimal may change when your health / physique changes”You got to exercise!” When the average overweight patient hears these words coming out of the mouth of his doctor, the type of exercise he usually will be thinking about is “classic” steady state cardio training on a treadmill, elliptical, stairmaster, or ergometer. It’s the textbook approach and still the predominant form of exercise in most of the pertinent studies on nutrition + exercise interventions that are designed to help overweight / obese individuals shed weight and improve their health.Among the (usually) non-obese and rarely insulin resistant members of the health and fitness community this type of “cardio training” (LISS) has however gotten quite a bad rep as of late. More and more trainers suggest that it may bet better to lift weights and do the occasional HIIT sessions for everyone – irrespective of your body weight, health and training status. If we put some faith into the results of a recently published study from the University of Massachusetts this could eventually turn out to be another unwarranted over-generalization that disregards the very specific needs of lean vs. obese and insulin sensitive vs.

Editors Note: For those of you who follow my blog you know that I have written extensively about intermittent fasting. I have written about both the science and the practical experience I have had with IF. So when one of my friends, Emery Max, posted on his Facebook page, the dramatic changes he made to his health and physique, I wanted him to share his experience. One reason is because Emery followed the good old-fashioned bodybuilding diet that didn’t seem to work anymore (think insulin), and because he is also a very educated person as you will soon find out.

After I blogged about benefits of alternate-day fasting, a software engineer named Brandon Berg commented:I had had plantar warts for a couple of years prior to starting IF (eating in a four-hour window each night). They cleared up almost immediately.I had never heard about this effect of fasting. And the Wikipedia entry on plantar warts said nothing about this. I asked Brandon for details.When and where did this happen?I was working full time while also attending college with a 12-hour schedule or so. That may or may not be relevant; I was under a lot of stress, both in terms of the pressure to serve both masters, and the sleep I sacrificed to make it happen
