Dar Kush: Intermittent Fasting

January 6, 2014

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

. No bread is an island: INTERMITTENT FASTING (IF) AND EXERCISE

January 4, 2014

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

Here is the complete story of how I found Intermittent Fasting and Leangains, got into the best shape of my life and totally hacked diet and fitness. All the progress photos are included from along the way. The good and the bad – warts and all.Let me start by saying – I’m a pretty obsessive guy.When I find something I am interested in I have no problem doing it for hours and hours even days without taking many breaks.This can be a bad thing if I’m interested in alcohol, drugs and downward spiraling my life into a black hole. But it can be a great thing if I’m interested in something that is good for me.These days I’m interested in the internet.I’d guess I sit in my computer chair for 12-16 hours a day, 7 days a week

It’s such a good mix of weight lifting, cardio, bodyweight strength training, and plyometrics, it’s challenging and never gets boring.
