Mention fasting to a bodybuilder, physique competitor or high level athlete, and you’ll probably be greeted with howls of derision.For so long, the idea that eating small, regular meals is far superior for building muscle, losing fat, providing energy and optimizing performance has been prominent in the world of fitness and nutrition.Fasting appears to be counterproductive to just about every goal you could have. You need calories, protein and carbs to build muscle, so how can fasting help with that?Sure, fasting may help cut calories, but what about your metabolism? That slows down when you don’t eat, doesn’t it?And for performance – there must be a reason why pro sportsmen and women are always sipping energy drinks, taking bites from bars and conduct post match interviews while downing their team-sponsored protein and carb shakes. Plus, you’ve probably had some pretty sucky workouts in the past when you’ve not eaten beforehand.It seems that regular eating and performing and looking your best generally go hand in hand.But then again, many cultures are based around fasting, and while this might be for religious reasons, it doesn’t seem to do them any harm. You also have the fact that fasting clearly helps curtail your calorie intake, which can only be a good thing for weight loss.Maybe it’s not so clear cut after all

Meals for the Week – Paleo Comfort Some More! 3 Comments Friday, September 20th, 2013 Meals for the Week – Paleo Comfort Foods Style #3You ever have one of those days when the kitchen just wasn’t calling your name and the thought of grabbing take-out Thai, or running out to eat at your local Mexican joint, or indulging a bit at your favorite neighborhood bistro sounded about 435% more tempting than cooking or reheating leftovers? Yeah, we had a lot of those days this past week, and were oh-so-tempted…but I can tell you that we felt about 894% (these are all very precise numbers) better (and saved some cash too) by focusing on what we had on hand and choosing to eat things where we could control every single ingredient that went into the preparation. Not to mention the fact that this way we were certain not to waste food.  Here’s an interesting (but old) infographic about food waste. Does your household waste 10+ pounds of meat and fish and 24 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables PER MONTH?

These days it seems that everyone who wants to lose weight is using intermittent fasting. Yet is this an effective method and if so what are its benefits?What is intermittent fasting?Intermittent fasting is often referred to as the Fast Diet or 5:2 Diet, it involves fasting for 2 days of the week where your calorie intake will not be allowed to exceed 500 calories if you are female and 600 calories if you are male. For the remaining 5 days you are allowed to eat a normal diet.These fast days will create a calorie-deficit that will ultimately result in pounds being lost.SEE ALSO: 3 Steps for Losing Weight without Losing yourself Image Credit: ZenAngie This is not the only benefit of intermittent fasting however as there are also claims that it can help to increase your life span, improve your cognitive function and provide more protection against diseases such as Alzheimer’s.Is intermittent fasting proven?Even though the evidence supporting its claims is growing steadily as with any diet there are going to be doubts about its claims, especially when compared to the efficiency of other calorie controlled diets. There have been positive studies performed such as the 8 week trial performed on a group of 30 obese women to show the effects of intermittent fasting.The study which was published in the 2012 edition of Nutrition & Metabolism involved the women consuming low calories liquid meals for 6 days of the week, with the remaining day being a fast day.After the study had concluded the women had lost an average of 8.8lbs with 6cm being lost from their waistlines.Issues with intermittent fasting?As with the positive evidence there is even less research on the possible side effects of intermittent fasting, although there have been reports of insomnia, bad breath (which is a common side effect of low carbohydrate diets), irritability, anxiety and dehydration.One of the major concerns about this diet is the persons own ability to moderate their food consumption on the ‘feast’ days.Despite stating that you should be eating a normal diet people often believe that the fast day will allow them to eat whatever they want on the other 5 days without suffering any consequences. Unfortunately if you want to lose weight you will still need to stick to a moderately healthy diet for these 5 days.

Intermittent Fasting – Not My Fight | Brad Pilon’s ‘Eat Blog Eat’ The truth about the intermittent fasting is bad for you movement is this: There are a group of people who have made millions of dollars convincing you that weight loss has to be complicated, and that you absolutely need their expertise to cut through this confusion to create the ideal weight loss diet. For these people there is a large financial benefit to attacking IF. There are also people who are genuinely curious about IF and have found some sort of information in the scientific community that troubles them, so they decided to broadcast it and their ideas to the world. I don’t mind this second group, since they help expand our understanding of how IF works.

When compared to whey isolate how does it stack up post workout. Could it also possibly be better for folk that cannot handle whey but still would like the advantages of liquid nutrition. thank you for your time.2
