When I first found, and started Leangains Intermittent Fasting, I was still looking for *the* diet. You know what I mean. The diet to end all diets.Instead I found something better.I didn’t need another diet. What I really needed was an education.When I finally got an education in nutrition (through a combination of blogs, textbooks, Physiology class, and lots of reading about research), I finally became free from “dieting”.  You can see the evolution of my education in my 2 previous posts on this blog here and here, about my experiences with Leangains and Intermittent fasting, from November 2011 to now.This post is not to tell you anything about intermittent fasting, Leangains or how to “diet”.If you are still confused, dogmatic, frustrated, searching or any other adjective connected to what you eat or look like, that would compel you to read a diet blog post; you are uneducated.Don’t be offended.

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

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

Is it just a flash in the pan or is it here to stay? Intermittent fasting seems to have come out of nowhere in the past few months. It has been popularised by the likes of Brad Pilon, Dr. John Berardi, the Hodge Twins and Martin Berkhan but in actual fact, intermittent fasting has been around a lot longer than that

Intermittent fasting is the latest diet to hit the market. Some are suggesting it is nothing but a fad, but it seems to be a fad that is catching on quite quickly. Besides this, there are a number of people who have said that they have done intermittent fasting for many decades and are healthier than most other people their age. So is there any truth to this type of diet

0 Flares0 Facebook 0 “/> 0 Flares × Fasting is the SH#%In the last post I talked about 10 Awesome Benefits of Intermittent Fasting. My fasting article had a hugely positive response and from the looks of it many kinobody readers have adapted daily fasting into their routines with incredible results thus far. In this article I am going to share with you how I use a special approach to intermittent fasting and nutrition to maximize muscle and minimize fat. My approach is highly influenced by Martin Berkhan of Leangains with a few tweaks of my own to improve results.Cool Reasons to Fast – credit from Martin Berkhan of Leangains Here’s a quick primer on the benefits of intermittent fasting for anyone interested in improving their physique and mental state:• Greater insulin sensitivity, which allows your body to make better use of carbohydrates• A wide variety of potential health benefits, ranging from cardiovascular health and life extension to neuroprotective mechanisms that may protect against brain diseases such as Alzheimers.• Mental alertness, boost in metabolism and improved energy levels due to increased levels of norepinephrine.• Higher levels of growth hormone during the fast, which shifts fuel metabolism to fat burning and spares muscle protein.• Appetite suppression. Contrary to what people seem to believe, fasting will not make you ravenous

Posted by Mike Stickel on Tuesday, July 19, 2011Over the past two years I’ve been following the conventional mantra of eating smaller meals often and generally following guidelines set out by the Beachbody programs I’ve done (e.g., P90X, Insanity, etc. [affiliate links]). As you can see from my transformation story it’s worked great so far.More recently I discovered the Paleo/Primal lifestyle and Intermittent Fasting. After reading more and more about these lifestyles it’s easier for me to relate to them than it is for me to relate to conventional wisdom (a term Mark Sisson uses to describe the current widespread health information/thought) — at least as far as eating goes.For the last month or so my nutrition goals have aligned more with Paleo/Primal standards as much as possible

Share ! From fat to sickeningly anorexic and all points between, Martin Berkhan has occupied all parts of the physique spectrum. Today, he lives and breathes the life of a natural albeit non-competitive bodybuilder, a feat made all the more laudable provided his unrepentant fondness for cheesecake.He trains only two to three times in a given calendar week, eats all the ‘wrong’ foods, fasts for 16 hours a day, and takes in all of his carbohydrates at night, all at a bodyweight of 195 pounds and 5.5% body fat. Not bad, huh?Martin’s desire to rid himself of the neuroses that accompanied his pursuit of bodybuilding sparked a revolution in the online fitness community.
