By Dr. Mercola Is there such a thing as a fast diet? Dr. Michael Mosley, a physician like me, wrote a best-selling book on this subject, aptly called The Fast Diet: Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and Live Longer with the Simple Secret of Intermittent Fasting, which answers that question

Obesity markedly increases risk for diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and many cancers, all of which can lead to premature death. Once a person becomes obese, it is very difficult to return to and maintain a normal weight. All of the widely-promoted diets (low-fat, low-carbohydrate, calorie-counting and so forth) have failed to stop the incredible increase of obesity in North America over the last 50 years.Eating regular meals five days a week and markedly reducing calories for the other two days may be the best way to lose weight and keep it off. This approach to weight loss is called “intermittent fasting.” We have some good data on how effective this diet regimen is for animals, but we are just starting to see the results of research on humans. Most of the studies on humans do not ask participants to avoid all food on their “fast” days.

LONDON — For the past year, Stuart Adams has been fasting twice a week. While he has lost 15 pounds, the real reason he’s depriving himself is to stave off brain disorders including schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease.“There’s a virulent strain of madness running through my family, and I reckoned my chances of going down that route were pretty high,” said Adams, 43, a freelance translator and interpreter in London who learned of a possible link between Alzheimer’s and diet while watching a BBC documentary last year. “Anything that could help with that was of great interest.”Fasting two or more days a week is catching on as people seek ways to avoid a range of ailments linked to obesity, from dementia to cancer. Building on promising findings in studies of mice by the U.S. National Institute of Aging, researchers are planning the first studies in humans of fasting’s potential to stave off the onset of Alzheimer’s

I want to address this particular “diet” because recently it’s been such a popular thing to try out especially in Indonesia. What is Intermittent Fasting (IF)? It is basically a conscious decision we make to skip meals. Why? When you fast, your body does not have any meal to use as energy, so it is said that we will more likely use stored fat to burn

We all know and follow the fundamental rules of the market place, but when we are in the gym we tend to forget about profit maximization and the minimal investment, maximal returns principle. It is quite funny that our gyms are among the few places in our economy-driven society where people tend to forget about the fundamental rules of the market place. The way many of weekend-warriors and fitness junkies train is in fact the exact opposite of the all-governing principle of profiteering.

There has been a lot of commotion lately about Tabata training. Everyone in the fitness industry is using it. It’s based on the research of Izumi Tabata and his colleagues at the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in Japan. The protocol they used, which was based on the training that Japanese speed skaters were doing on the ice, included 7 to 8 x 20-second sprints on a stationary bicycle (about 170% of VO2max) with just 10 seconds recovery 5 days per week for 6 weeks. That’s a tough 6 weeks

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of Tabata Training, or some version of it.Tabata training was designed in the 90’s by a Japanese scientist, Izumi Tabata and his colleagues, at the National Institute of Fitness & Sports in Tokyo. They compared the results of moderate high intensity training and high intensity interval training (HIIT) among athletes. They concluded that the athletes who performed HIIT saw increases in their aerobic (cardiovascular) system as well as anaerobic (muscle) system capacities, whereas athletes who did moderate high intensity training only improved their aerobic system, but had little to no increase in their anaerobic system.So what does that mean for you? Tabata training is an excellent training method to add to any fitness program. You can throw it in at the end of your regular exercise routine, supplement your usual cardio with it (I do- you’ll almost never see me on an elliptical or treadmill.
