It’s 12pm and I’m having my first meal. Not because I’m too busy to eat, hate breakfast, or I want to slow down my metabolism. It’s all part of the master plan I used to drop the most weight I EVER HAVE while maintaining the same body fat in only 30 days. Why did I do it? I told one of my old (young) college professors I would beat her in a half marathon, and in order to increase my speed I had to be lighter on my feet, which means dropping some serious LBS

What do you recommend for those looking to gain muscle mass?John Romaniello:Yeah, it’s definitely a bit more of a “fat loss plan”, but there are muscle-gaining components to it. Phase 3, for example, is all about muscle gain, and phase 2 and phase 4 also have aspects there

If you’ve been even remotely involved in the nutrition or fitness community over the past few years, you at least know the term intermittent fasting (IF). Enthusiasts praise its pattern of orchestrated eating and abstaining for everything from improved immunity to mental clarity and, of course, fast fat loss.IF involves periods of alternately eating and fasting. Beyond that, definitions widely vary.

You simply cannot start “working out” too early – even if it’s just child’s play.”Three for one!” No, I am not trying to sell you three bottles of “uberpotent” test-boosters for the rat of one. Three for one that’s the SuppVersity Figure of the Week and it is the ratio of the decrease in breast cancer risk in women and the hours of physical activity per week during their adolescence. According to a 2004 review by Lagerros, Hsieh and Hsieh, each additional* hour of weekly physical activity is associated with a -3% risk of developing breast cancer later in life (Lagerros. 2004)Needless to say that the “additional” hours are in addition to the low physical activity in the laziest of the study participants, who had a 20% higher risk of developing breast cancer than their most active peers.So what else do we have today

Dear Mark: HIIT, Omega-3s and Cooking, and Gluten-Free Baked Goods It’s time, yet again, for another edition of Dear Mark. As per usual, I’m doing a roundup of reader questions. First, I cover high intensity interval training, also known as HIIT. It’s the subject of an ongoing study that’s been getting a lot of play in the media, and, while we don’t have access to the as-yet-unpublished research, we do know a little something about HIIT from numerous other studies. Next, a reader asks about the effect of cooking on the omega-3 content and stability of salmon.

| E-mail| PrintLast week Thursday I posted this blog about Intermittent Fasting. In it, I mentioned that there are lot’s of weight loss systems out there that work. More often than not, it’s about picking ONE system, following it, and sticking with it long enough to actually see some results.I also gave the link to Precision Nutrition’s founder, Dr John Berardi and his free e-book which gives a lot of information about IF, some different IF approaches, and Dr Berardi’s personal feedback on his successes and struggles with it.On Friday, I posted a follow up blog that gave some reasons why IF probably isn’t ideal for everyone and why.  I also briefly spoke about why I am trying it out myself.So then, which IF methods AM I trying and how is it going?It’s going slowly. Very slowly.
