Getty ImagesIf I had a nickel for every time a female client told me they didn’t want to lift weights for fear of “getting bulky,” let’s just say I would have lots of nickels. While, yes, there is a purpose for dieting and cardio, the truth is that lean muscle cannot survive on the treadmill alone. In my experience, weight training still seems to be the biggest-kept secret for fat loss.You should know that unless you’re taking supplements to enhance muscle growth you won’t get bulky, because your body simply doesn’t have the hormones to get there naturally. Cardio only burns calories while you’re performing it, but strength training has what is known as the afterburn effect.

Call it Intermittent Fasting (IF), alternate day fasting, 5:2 Diet, 4:3 Diet, 18-hour Diet, Every Other Day Diet, Fast Diet or Starvation Diet, but going without food for a period of time each week continues to gain attention in the scientific community. Classic animal studies linking calorie restriction to longevity have suggested protection against obesity, type 2 diabetes, inflammation, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and reduced metabolic risk factors associated with cancer while improving markers of cardiovascular aging (1). Long-term daily caloric restriction is difficult to maintain in humans as it often induces weight re-gain and non-compliance.

“Fat” is Not a Feeling 14 Comments Thursday, January 23rd, 2014 “I feel FAT.”  Three words.  Three words that carry a lot of ‘weight’. ‘Heavy’ words that you hear, say, or think every day, or every 15 minutes in some cases. You may go to bed at night feeling totally awesome and wake up the next day feeling FAT.

This time of year, fat loss is an extremely popular topic. As with most topics, the fitness industry is full of many controversial opinions as to the right way to go about it. However, over the years I have found that many of what seems to be a raging debate can be quickly settled with a simple understanding of context. What is an excellent approach to take in one context can be totally inappropriate in another

Here is the complete story of how I found Intermittent Fasting and Leangains, got into the best shape of my life and totally hacked diet and fitness. All the progress photos are included from along the way. The good and the bad – warts and all.Let me start by saying – I’m a pretty obsessive guy.When I find something I am interested in I have no problem doing it for hours and hours even days without taking many breaks.This can be a bad thing if I’m interested in alcohol, drugs and downward spiraling my life into a black hole. But it can be a great thing if I’m interested in something that is good for me.These days I’m interested in the internet.I’d guess I sit in my computer chair for 12-16 hours a day, 7 days a week

I happen to be a list person. I love lists, and statistics as well, and one of my favorite routines as the end of the year approaches is creating the New Year’s Resolution List. My usual approach is to write down all the things that I plan and hope to accomplish during the next year, but this time I decided to change the strategy a little.I was curious to see what other people place on top of their NYRL, and was not surprised to find out that 37% of people who do lists set weight-related goals. This is outnumbered only by resolutions related to education and self-improvement, so it’s quite obvious that people are interested in managing their weight more efficiently.And as I write this word, “efficiently”, the first thing that comes into my mind is TIME. If people would manage their time better, they would have more time for workouts and therefore better results in terms of weight management, in the long run

I thought you might like to know how we’re getting on with our intermittent fasting (or 5:2 fast diet) that we started in June this year just before we went on our cycling trip along the Danube.Well, it’s going wonderfully! I’ve lost the 5 kilos I put back on after my initial diet three years ago when I lost 20 kilos, despite the fact that I am now eating a lot of foods I had thought I’d have to give up forever.I actually look forward to our fast days, when I have 500 calories and Jean Michel has 600, and which we plan according to what’s going on that week but which are usually 3 or 4 days apart. Mondays and Thursdays or Fridays are typical choices, but the beauty of the 5:2 fast is that there are no fixed days.  We continue to always eat the same thing on those days, as it suits us that way.The amazing thing is that I am not hungry on fast days

When it comes to fat loss many people choose to go the bodybuilding route but unfortunately it isn’t the most effective way to get results. Fitness athlete training is a much more functional way of getting fat loss results with methods for example high intensity interval training and metabolic resistance training. There were research studies done to prove fitness athlete training to be superior to classic bodybuilding strategies. Learn more about Wow Fitness.High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of sprinting where you run for a categorical effort for a short time then rest just before doing it again. HIIT periods can last for about 20 minutes maximum and this kind of training is very intense but produces great results.
