The more you eat, the less flavor; the less you eat, the more flavour. ~ Chinese proverb Click to tweetI never thought I would try something such as Intermittent Fasting IF.I first heard about it from my brother-in-law, then a client mentioned it to me, and then I read Kate Langbroek’s article in the paper.So, after some research, I decided to give IF a try to see whether it would increase energy levels and mental clarity, as others had claimed. I also wanted to see how it would affect my relationship with food, including understanding my hunger cues. It was an experiment.Before I dive into what I discovered, let me first share the IF method I used.

Tabata Training is a High Intensity Interval Training Workout that lasts four minutes and consists of several different exercises, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off (rest periods after each exercise.) There are many forms of full workouts, exercises to incorporate, and each workout can be designed to give you a different result, depending on what goals you are working towards. Tabata Training is great for calorie burning, muscle endurance, agility & speed progress, and lean muscle development. Technically, you should stick with the four minute workout in these specific 20 second on, 10 second off “zones,” however, if you are a first-time “Tabata-er,” or a deconditioned individual, you may choose to change this based on your current fitness level.Tabata training was born after Japanese scientist Izumi Tabata and his colleagues compared the results of moderate intensity training and HIIT. The study evaluated two groups of speed-skating athletes. The first group trained on ergonomic cycles at moderate intensity for one hour, five days per week, for a total of six weeks.

Via NSCA.com & Author Mark D. StephensonNow a new method of training called suspension training can be used for those facing a lack of proper training facilities. Suspension training was re-introduced as a method of training by former navy SEAL Randy Hetrick who was responsible for the physical fitness of his team members. Deployed soldiers do not necessarily have weight training facilities and often have to resort to implement training for resistance. Looking for ways to maintain his and his team’s operational readiness, Randy utilized parachute cords and materials thathe looped over elevated beams to increase resistance for rows and presses using only body weight and gravity, thus suspension training was born.

This month, a diet company named a product Fast-5. The company functionally said that Fast-5 isn’t significant because it doesn’t sell anything. They assert that because Fast-5 doesn’t track membership or quantify sales and participation, they aren’t infringing on a valuable trademark.We disagree and we’re taking steps to help Fast-5 overcome the infringement on its trademark, but until that happens, it’s time to set the record straight. The REAL Fast-5 isn’t selling answers! It’s growing community and helping people to find real, sustainable success.We plan to do our part to help make 2014 Fast-5’s break out year
