Return to Rural: The Buddha on Intermittent Fasting?

I’m new to the idea of intermittent fasting so I’m not sure of all the “rules” but I have been looking at eating only in the morning hours (Buddha says that’s the proper time to take food) and fasting from noon until the following sunrise regularly. This is a practice in line with the 8 Mayahana Precepts and the 8 Uposatha Day precepts of the Theravadin tradition. Monks and nuns are only supposed to eat during the morning hours as well. From my understanding, intermittent fasting typically involves a 5:2 — five days on eating, 2 periods of 24 hours off. Search it on Amazon and you’ll find plenty of books on the subject.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
