I stumbled across intermittent fasting (IF for short) by accident. In fact, I’d been using a form of IF for several years before I realized there was a name for it.It started in 1999, when I got into the habit of going to the gym first thing in the morning before eating anything. I’d been reading Body-for-LIFE by Bill Phillips, and “fasted cardio” was one of the things he recommended.

It’s been a while since I really felt ‘right’ about my lifting. For the longest time, I thought that I simply didn’t care as much as I used to, but now I’m sure that I still care. In fact, the problem wasn’t one of caring, but of belief.I didn’t believe that lifting needed to be what it seems to have turned into…I started lifting weights in high school for a number of different reasons, but none of those reasons were competitive sports.I am not an athlete.I can remember when I was first introduced lifting weights for the purpose of bodybuilding, and I can remember how it was portrayed as a ‘thinking persons’ activity – a physical sort of philosophy. The way Arnold and Frank Zane and Lee Haney all talked about weight training, it was more akin to yoga and meditation then it was football or MMA. It was a physical chess match between you and yourself, and it was this approach to weight training that appealed to me.Lately lifting has turned into sport where we compete on youtube by posting videos of our best lifts, or compete in crossfit or powerlifting or even obstacle courses, we race and we challenge based on time or speed or weight… or level of pukey exhaustion.We create haphazard workout programs based on the latest ‘proven’ scientific theories, instead of doing what we WANT to do.The science has taken over, and the art has died.This isn’t a judgment on how you train now, but on how I have trained in the past.Pushing to the point of breaking, always sore, always ‘almost injured’

Share I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand the low-rent fitness schlock that keeps clogging up the Internet. What you get is a cheeky headline and a re-hash of yesterday’s news, optimized for page views, retweets and an indiscriminate Facebook crowd.Remember when people actually wrote articles and shared their real thoughts, their own ideas and their actual experiences? That time is long gone. Personally, I don’t think anyone should be wasting their time in the fitnessphere. You will not find ‘7 Surprising Secrets to Fat Burning’ or ‘Top 13 Back Exercises’ in this oozing pit of attention starved bullshittery, so please stop looking, unless you want to be dragged down with the rest of them.Suffice to say, I’m not really keen on the writing scene around here – but every now and then, I come across something that might be worth your while.

Also check out our Client Jan Newsletter We have been using the Tabata system of training in our studio for several years now both in our Met-X-Fitness and in our more Blitz / Boot Camp orientated Pilates Mat and Reformer Class’s and because I know all about the excellent benefits and results of this style of training I rather stupidly assumed everyone else did too. I realized last week that this was not the case when on two separate occasions I was asked by a client and a trainer I was chatting with – the same two questions what exactly is Tabata? And how does it work? So here it is – Tabata, a high intensity, short duration effective exercise systemTabata – What is it?Tabata (developed by it’s name sake Japanese Professor Izumi Tabata) is a high intensity interval training system (HIIT) that since its inception has provided remarkable results – he originally developed this system for the Japanese speed skating team in 1996 Tabata – How does it work?

Here’s what you need to know…• Intermittent fasting (IF) has limited uses in limited populations, but for many people it leads to less muscle, more body fat, and even disordered eating in the long term.• Fasted weight training, often part of intermittent fasting plans, is misguided and counterproductive.• If you follow many intermittent fasting diets to a T, you border on having or developing two different eating disorders.• To break the destructive habits created by failed IF plans, always eat breakfast, use workout nutrition, select quality foods, and learn to listen to your body.Let’s say I was approached by Kim Jong-un, the murderous North Korean dictator, and asked for dietary advice. Being a patriotic all-American girl, I’d of course give him the worst advice I could think of. My plan would be to provide a diet that fooled him into thinking it was working, but ultimately wrecked his health, made him miserable, and maybe even gave him an eating disorder as a bonus.Now, how would I do that? I’d probably tell him to starve all day, exercise in a fasted state, then eat a ton in the evening.

Intermittent fasting: The good things it did to my body Posted by Amtul Q Farhat BBC:Many of the changes in my body when I took part in the clinical trial of an intermittent fasting diet, were no surprise. Eating very little for five days each month, I lost weight, and I felt hungry. I also felt more alert a lot of the time, though I tired easily. But there were other effects too that were possibly more important.During each five-day fasting cycle, when I ate about a quarter the average person’s diet, I lost between 2kg and 4kg (4.4-8.8lbs) but before the next cycle came round, 25 days of eating normally had returned me almost to my original weight.But not all consequences of the diet faded so quickly.“What we are seeing is the maintenance of some of the effects even when normal feeding resumes,” explains Dr Valter Longo, director of USC’s Longevity institute-MOREAll religions of world practice some kind of fastingShare this now!FacebookGoogleLinkedInRedditDiggStumbleUponEmailPrint Posted by Amtul Q Farhat on January 3, 2014.
