Fitness Tips / Move / October 5, 2014A Fat-Melting HIIT Workout Plan that Works!The right kind of workout can keep you torching calories long after you leave the gym. Here’s the real secret to melting maximum fat.Science proves that high intensity interval training burns more fat in less time than a steady-state approach. When done strategically, HIIT can also trigger afterburn, in which your body uses calories at an increased rate for up to 24 hours post-workout. Interval training isn’t new, but exercise physiologists at Orangetheory Fitness (OTF), a hot workout studio with more than 110 locations nationwide, have packaged the concept into metabolically charged routines that guarantee you’ll stay in the zone all day.The Science of AfterburnWorkouts that rev your metabolism long after you leave the gym may sound too good to be true, but the science is solid. “It takes oxygen and energy (calories) for your body to return to resting after exercise—that’s excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), or the afterburn,” says Christopher Scott, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist and associate professor at the University of Southern Maine.

Share I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand the low-rent fitness schlock that keeps clogging up the Internet. What you get is a cheeky headline and a re-hash of yesterday’s news, optimized for page views, retweets and an indiscriminate Facebook crowd.Remember when people actually wrote articles and shared their real thoughts, their own ideas and their actual experiences? That time is long gone. Personally, I don’t think anyone should be wasting their time in the fitnessphere. You will not find ‘7 Surprising Secrets to Fat Burning’ or ‘Top 13 Back Exercises’ in this oozing pit of attention starved bullshittery, so please stop looking, unless you want to be dragged down with the rest of them.Suffice to say, I’m not really keen on the writing scene around here – but every now and then, I come across something that might be worth your while.

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.

When I first found, and started Leangains Intermittent Fasting, I was still looking for *the* diet. You know what I mean. The diet to end all diets.Instead I found something better.I didn’t need another diet. What I really needed was an education.When I finally got an education in nutrition (through a combination of blogs, textbooks, Physiology class, and lots of reading about research), I finally became free from “dieting”.  You can see the evolution of my education in my 2 previous posts on this blog here and here, about my experiences with Leangains and Intermittent fasting, from November 2011 to now.This post is not to tell you anything about intermittent fasting, Leangains or how to “diet”.If you are still confused, dogmatic, frustrated, searching or any other adjective connected to what you eat or look like, that would compel you to read a diet blog post; you are uneducated.Don’t be offended.

The every other day diet (Alternate day fasting)Written by Zoë on January 16, 2014 – 0 CommentsCategories: Dieting, Media comments, Other Diets A UK TV programme (Monday 6th August 2012) generated much interest about Calorie Restriction and Intermittent Fasting.

This free download will also explain the difference between Calorie Restriction (CR) and Intermittent Fasting (IF) and the three things that can vary within IF options.The document also asks and answers – what has been proven by research into Intermittent Fasting? Has it been proven to make humans live longer

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.

BOSS’s programming and recommendations are someone unique compared with the average international exercise physiology or strength and conditioning organization. It is also unique compared with what you’d see on the CrossFit main site or Jillian Michael’s blog. I’m often asked, when the rest of the world is saying that the best way to lose weight is aerobic exercise, why do we say high-intensity interval exercise is better? If you continue to read this blog and learn more about BOSS’s programming model, you’ll soon learn that I’m a geek. Being a geek whose job it is to advance exercise science, I am always questioning exercise programming models

Previous researchers have found that CrossFit is able to improve both maximum aerobic capacity and body composition. However, the same researchers found that there may be concerns regarding the level of injury risk in participation. To assess whether there really is a large injury risk inherent in CrossFit, the following study was performed…The Study: The nature and prevalence of injury during CrossFit training, by Hak, Hodzovic, and Hickey, in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, Publish Ahead of PrintWhat’s the background?Not that long ago, Bret published a guest post on this blog that reviewed the first study into CrossFit. That study found that CrossFit-type programs combined with the Paleo Diet produced meaningful improvements in both body composition and VO2-max in both men and women of all levels of fitness.
