Sometime during the spring, when I first heard
about using fasting from time to time to lose
fat I thought it sounded a bit odd. But then I
thought about how people in all kinds of
religions have been fasting for thousands of
years.I read a bit about it online and it seemed
to be a pretty popular topic on various fitness
blogs. Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training
the program I use every week and that helped me
to lose 26 pounds is a fan for example. So I
got curious. So I read a book called Eat Stop Eat
by Brad Pilon (the guy above in the photo). Its
a pretty short and concise ebook at 91 pages. In
it Brad dispels many myths about fasting. He
counters the arguments people may use to not try
it out like slowed down metabolism, fear of
losing muscle, fear of becoming just too hungry
with facts and research (the book has over 50
references from different scientific
studies). The main idea of this way of losing fat
is to fast for 24 hours once or twice per week.
This will create a calorie deficit and you will
use more energy than you put into your body. And
so you lose weight. Thats it. My Four Week
Challenge First, a quick note on fasting. As Brad
writes in the intro to the book The
information within this book is meant for healthy
adult individuals. You should consult with your
physician to make sure it is appropriate for
your individual circumstances. Now, since I had
gained back a few of those 26 pounds I lost
earlier this year I thought Id give it try. So
I have fasted for two 24 hour
3
periods during the last four weeks. The results?
I lost 4 kilos/9 pounds. I did no cardio
exercises I usually do the bodyweight exercises
from the Turbulence Training program during
these four weeks to see how much I could lose
without that training. I did however do two 25
minute workouts with free weights per week to
maintain my muscle mass and just lose the fat. I
did not lose any strength during the four
weeks. So how was it? Well, pretty unobtrusive
and I guess that is the point of this way of
eating. You dont have to prepare special meals.
Or constantly think about what you are eating.
You just stop eating. Then you just eat again as
if nothing happened. Its a pretty relaxed and
very simple way of eating to lose weight. I had
hunger pangs when I usually eat but they
dissipated again pretty quickly as I kept busy
with work and other stuff. An interesting side
effect of fasting is that productivity goes up.
When you dont have to cook food, eat and wash
the dishes you can get quite a bit more done
during your day of fasting. I did however notice
that it did become harder to focus for maybe
four hours before the fast was done. My mind was
foggier. I could still work and do some light
stuff but for example writing a blog post would
be hard. But the thing is, this way of eating is
very flexible. Taking your fasting day on a day
when you for example have an important test in
school is nothing you need to do. You can take
your fast any day of the week, when it fits you
and your schedule. Besides dispelling the myths
about fasting and changing how you think about
food and fasting Brad also goes into the benefits
of fasting from time to time like decreased
insulin levels and increased insulin sensitivity
and growth hormone levels and gives

• Anything to improve?
• So I really liked the book and the intermittent
  fasting. But were there any negatives about it
  all? Well, nothing major, but I found a few
  things.
• Plain standard design. Eat Stop Eat is designed
  with the plain standard white background and
  black text. Thats totally OK but I hope that
  perhaps more ebook authors follow the example of
  for instance Leo Babauta of Zen Habits and add a
  little more to the design to spruce things up.
• Few food tips. One of the upsides of intermittent
  fasting is that you dont have to fret about
  every meal to get a calorie deficit. However, I
  would have liked to see a little more about some
  recommended food and tips for when you are eating
  so you
• dont compensate the calories lost by overeating.
