Intermittent Fasting

I’m starting to experiment with a new strategy for fat loss: intermittent fasting. The more I learn about it, the more good things I’m discovering. Here are just a few examples:

*This method is endorsed by many of the people I respect in the fitness industry. This is what piqued my interest. 

*Intermittent fasting is probably the simplest plan for weight loss. You don’t have to worry about carefully planning every meal as you would with other diet plans.

*There are hormonal advantages in terms of preserving muscle and maximizing fat loss (if done properly).

*Last but not least, this method seems to most closely match the way humans have lived before this modern era. In other words, we were designed to go periods with no food. Our ancestors didn’t have the luxury of eating three meals a day, every day.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress/results. As with any plan, it’s going to take some time to see how well it works.

I’d highly recommend you read my review of  Brad Pilon's Eat Stop Eat if you want to learn more about intermittent fasting.

How is IF going for you? I've been exploring the same thing for just over two weeks now (I posted an intro article on my blog, but it is time for an update).

Troy,
So far so good. I'm finding that intermittent fasting is a much simpler way to achieve a negative calorie balance. It's still going to take a while for me to see the results (as you know, fat loss is not an overnight process). I may write a post (or e-book) once I've been able to really get some good before/after type pictures.
