@George – thanks for posting your thoughts here. I’ve been back to IF in the last couple of weeks, but it really is kind of simplistic, and without a lot of basis in knowledge of the science of it all. I am definitely (and finally) going to check out Eat Stop Eat, as I’ve heard so many positives.

Thanks – your comment really hit home .

I really like the “Eat Stop Eat” approach to Intermittent Fasting much better than the “Warrior Diet” approach.

I did the Warrior Diet for one year and although I didn’t lose any muscle mass and it felt okay, I could never get really lean. I don’t know if it was a flaw in the program or simply that I ate too large of meals at night.

I have done “Eat Stop Eat” for years successfully and here is the biggest tip that makes this diet (way of eating) work wonders.

*Tip: Make you one meal on your IF days a regular size dinner. So it winds up being a really low calorie day.

…this creates a weekly calorie deficit and allows you to lose body fat over time and get really darn lean. You won’t lose muscle due to the HGH surge that happens during a short-term fast. I can’t say enough about doing Intermittent Fasting in this manner.

Works extremely well!

I’ve been using Intermittent Fasting for over a year now, and I still feel a devilish sense of guilt for its ease of adoption, its on-going effectiveness, and its sustainability.

My IF pattern is a combination of Lean Gain, Warrior Diet, and Fast-5. I typically eat my first meal around 4 or 5 PM. Sundays are usually the only day I eat brunch with my wife. Periodically I use ESE for a 22-24 hour fast, especially around major holidays that center around food.

I do strive to eat nutrient-dense foods, but I still enjoy a lot of the foods feared by dieters or followers of popular diets.

Great article encompassing the concept and styles of IF!

Best,
Johnny

I am in the group of ‘do it and love it’. I do IF 3-4 times a week. Many of my friends thought that I am crazy and had never had an intention to try. But I’m sure if they ever try it, they’ll love it.
