Intermittent fasting is easy…starvation not so much. Until recently I recommended 5 to 6 small daily snacks/meals spaced evenly throughout the day to stoke one’s metabolism. Most nutritionists and dieticians still cling to this maxim although the science on its effectiveness is quite sketchy. It works for some people, many others not so much.

This post represents a single article for a complete series dedicated to developing muscular strength and size through resistance training. Each article relies on the information detailed before it to convey a thorough understanding.View an outline with links to theentire series here.It is easily possible to lift an enormous “total tonnage” while doing nothing worthwhile and just as easy to perform a very productive workout that involves very little “total tonnage”. Secondly, according to that theory, ten reps with 100 pounds are exactly equal to two reps with 500 pounds which is obvious nonsense; the “work performed” would be equal but the power required and the results produced would certainly NOT be equal.- Arthur JonesGrowthTraining for muscular growth focuses on developing a greater cross-sectional area, and this depends on the proper balance between the load versus repetitions.

Metabolic Resistance TrainingIf you’ve been reading forums and internet websites about training lately, maybe you’ve seen some workouts plans marked as “MRT (paired sets)…” or something similar. And, unless you’re an ultra fitness geek, you probably have no idea what MRT is. Today, I’d like to help you geek out and tell you all about it.MRT is an acronym for Metabolic Resistance Training. It’s a type of strength training (weight lifting) that runs you through a cycle of exercises in quick succession, leaving your whole body exhausted and your metabolism on fire.There are three basic concepts to MTR to follow:1. Do a series of strength moves that alternate between non-competing muscle groups so that you can move from one exercise to the next with minimal rest

I promised myself that I wouldn’t take it upon myself to DEFEND intermittent fasting…mostly because I do not see that as my role.I enjoy intermittent fasting, and it is what I do to stay lean. I am educated in intermittent fasting, and I enjoy writing about it, but I don’t see it as my child that I need to defend when someone kicks sand in its face on the playground that is the internet.Yet, here I am.Hopefully, you’ll see that I’m not about to defend Intermittent Fasting, but rather defend logical thought.Most of (but not all) the slander about intermittent fasting that is popping up on the net is a mix of purposeful attacks (typically to gain traffic and Google rankings) and logical fallacies – ideas that seem logical, but on further investigation are lacking in soundness and validity.I really don’t mind when people discuss possible negatives of IF, since it forces me to expand my understanding of the research. However, I do mind when people cloud the science of IF with logical fallacies.I want to start with an obvious logical fallacy – that a high protein diet is exactly the same as intermittent fasting because it has almost identical effects on hypocretin neurons. Fine, then by that rationale, intermittent fasting is exactly the same as a high protein diet.Obviously this is incorrect, since high protein diets have  myriad of health effects the intermittent fasting simply does not have. Which is exactly my point – intermittent fasting also has a myriad of health effects that a high protein diet does not have

Their groundbreaking 1996 study, published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports & Exercise, provided documented evidence concerning the dramatic physiological benefits of high-intensity intermittent training.

Intermittent fasting, or any fasting for that matter, is a tool.For most, it’s a tool that is used to reduce body fat.So in that sense, people use intermittent fasting for the purpose of losing weight, and more importantly for losing body fat.At this level, they are ‘purposefully fasting’, which is fantastic, however it is not my ultimate goal for you to take away from Eat Stop Eat.Learning that fasting can cause weight loss is one thing (and it is a great thing), but there’s another approach to fasting, and that is fasting WITHOUT purpose.This is my ultimate goal with Eat Stop Eat – to help you reach a point where you are no longer fasting to lose weight, but are fasting because you’ve realized that you really don’t need to eat at that time.In other words, I want you to progress from occasionally ‘fasting’ to occasionally ‘not eating’.That’s it.Accomplish that, learn to not eat when you don’t need to eat, and you don’t need any more weight loss or diet information. You no longer need to surf the internet looking for diet information, or new tricks to help you lose fat. Because in my opinion you’ve transcended this type of desperate approach to weight loss.If you can do this then I think you’ve reached what I consider to be the highest level of eating. You eat when you feel you need to eat, and you enjoy that eating. When you don’t feel like eating, you recognize that you don’t HAVE to, and therefore, you don’t eat.Sounds simple, but consider that the science of nutrition is becoming more and more complex everyday yet it still hasn’t really moved us any closer to understanding ‘HOW’ we should eat.So for me, this is the ‘HOW’.  And it’s what I want for you – Understanding that it’s OK not to eat at the times you don’t feel like eating and that it is also OK to eat when you feel like eating.BPPS – I still fast for 24 hours once or twice a week, but I also practice the idea of ‘not eating’ when I’m not purposefully fasting. Tagged as: Brad Pilon, intermittent fasting, weight loss tools

Recently by Ori Hofmekler: The Best Foods that Fill You Up and Boost Your Metabolism and Shed PoundsStory at-a-glance There is an emerging consensus that narrowing the window of time that you consume food may have enormous health benefits and also help you reduce the percentage of body fat. Benefits of intermittent fasting include reduced oxidative stress; increased insulin sensitivity; increased mitochondrial energy efficiency; and increased capacity to resist stress, disease, and aging Most intermittent fasting programs, including alternate day fasting, once or twice a week fasting, and once every other week fasting are, in the best case, only partially beneficial as they do not accommodate your circadian rhythm Your body is programmed for nocturnal feeding, and the one meal a day regimen is the only intermittent fasting (IF) program that accommodates your innate circadian clock and maximize the beneficial effects you get from IF on a daily basis Most foods negate the effects of fasting, but there are some exceptions. Foods that can be safely eaten without compromising your fast include fast-assimilating nutrient-dense foods such as quality whey protein, green vegetables and berries The intermittent fasting approach has been getting increased recognition these days. But 10 years ago, it was a different story.When I introduced The Warrior Diet concept about 12 years ago, it was highly criticized by mainstream fitness authorities as an “extreme and dangerous” approach to dieting.

Are you ready to lose fat and build endurance and strength in less time? If so, get ready – you’re about to learn about a cardio method that only takes 20-30 minutes three times a week and gives you the same (if not more) benefits as steady-state cardio.I frequently mention HIIT – high-intensity interval training – on Facebook and Twitter because it’s my get-it-done cardio method. I get bored doing long bouts on the elliptical and HIIT makes the time go fast. Not only can I burn mega calories but I feel energetic for hours after HIIT and have seen my aerobic endurance increase.And just as with weight lifting, you need to vary your cardio workouts to continue seeing results. If you use the same speed, for same amount of time, on the same machine day after day, your body will soon adapt and stop working as hard
