If you are like many people I know, after Thanksgiving you feel terrible about the food choices you made and think you have totally blown your “diet.” Some will decide to take matters into their own hands immediately and get back on track. Others may start the spiral downward till New Years and let all their hard work for the year be sabotaged. And then there are those who may have heard about new research on intermittent fasting and think that’s the way to undo the holiday damage.In an unpublished study of 26 obese adults, those who fasted completely every other day and ate with no restrictions the rest of the time lost about the same amount of weight in two months as those who didn’t fast at all. But four months later, after patients were off the intervention, those who had the initial “intermittent fasting” intervention had dropped more pounds and had greater improvements in memory than those on a standard diet. [Tweet this.]Study author William Troy Donahoo, Ph.D., said at a conference that the difference in weight loss may have been due to people continuing to fast after the study ended, or that fasting somehow changes your metabolism.So should we all jump on this bandwagon

Fat loss; If you’re having problems with it, this post might help…I have a little project for you to help you hit the ground running for New Years.  I want you to start now…. As in right now – right this very minute.And what I want you to do is a little thought experiment.I want you to  STOP thinking about exercise as a way to burn calories and lose fat.Stop it. In fact, I want you to pretend that it’s not even possible, that somehow workouts don’t burn any calories at all.(I’m not saying that it’s actually impossible, I just want you to THINK that it is)I also want you to stop thinking about ways to build muscle with your diet.STOP!Obviously you do need food to build muscle, but for this experiment let’s stop thinking of magic combinations or timings, or reasons to massively overeat…Instead I want you to embrace the Eat Stop Eat approach and think of your workouts as a way to build or maintain your muscle, and think of your diet as how you lose body fat and maintain low (but healthy) levels of body fat.That’s it.No cross over.
