I won&#8217;t spoil all of the good parts (so you read it hehe), but what I really enjoyed the most was how the author (Brad Pilon) dispelled common myths and misconceptions about how fast effects the body. To date, I had subscribed to the common knowledge that, well, everyone else does. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">Suffice it to say, I am going to be trying this theory out. Actually, I am trying it today. Victoria offered to try it with me which, I thought was really cool. So, we stopped eating at around 930pm last night. The next time I will be eating is at the Alamo Draft House tonight when we are watching Indiana Jones. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">The basic idea behind this is as follows:<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">&quot;Diets&quot; or &quot;eating plans&quot; most often fail in the long term. Sure, in the short term, they might work really well. How many of you have tried the &quot;South Beach Diet&quot; or the &quot;Abs Diet&quot;? I have. I got pretty good results for the first couple of months, then pretty much said &quot;fuck it, this is way too much work&quot;, and went back to whatever I was doing before I started. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">FAIL. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">Some of the myths\/misconceptions that this book speaks to are: <\/font><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">the idea that fasting will kill your metabolism.<\/font><\/li>\n<li><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">the idea that you will lose muscle mass from fasting. <\/font><\/li>\n<li><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">that eating 6-8 times per day will &quot;stoke&quot; your metabolism. <\/font><\/li>\n<li><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">why eating &quot;plans&quot; or &quot;diets&quot; typically fail once you extend the observation period. <\/font><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">The bottom line is that reading this book really made me think about some of the ideas that I have accepted as conventional wisdom. What I like even better is that the claims that are made are backed up by scientific studies and data. They are not just said and expected to be accepted. I would recommend this book to anyone, if nothing more than to just have some new ideas to think about in the health\/nutrition arena. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">It is currently 11:13am. I have not eaten anything since 9:30pm last night. Overall, I feel just fine. I do feel some pangs of hunger, but they come and go. I am trying to not think about it. Ultimately, I would like to be able to do this 2x\/week. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">Which brings me to talking about some things that I am doing to get ready for my next test. <\/font><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"> Josh Hillis fighter workout which is 3x\/week (starting on Monday). <\/font><\/li>\n<li><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"> Lots of jump rope. <\/font><\/li>\n<li><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"> Lots of form practicing. <\/font><\/li>\n<li><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"> San He Chuan 3x\/day ( I am <em><strong>shooting<\/strong><\/em> for 3x\/day, we shall see how that pans out ).<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">Anyway, to sum up, right now, I am about 205-210 depending on what day and what scale. As I move forward with the above AND with IF, I will post changes, if any. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"2\">&#160;<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Intermittent Fasting) So, I finally got to read the book &quot;EatStopEat&quot; and I loved it.
