  • It's best to try and work up to 24 hours as long as you can comfortably handle it. 15-19 hours is still good, but if you can make it 19, you might as well see if you can get to 24.

  • Hi Brad,

    Is it possible for intermittent fasting, of the flexible or inflexible kind, to make a person more depressed?

  • Quaffacoke, I honestly don't know. I've never scene any evidence of this. This doesn't mean it's not there, but rather it's outside of my scope of expertise.

  • Hi hi! Have you thought about - fast abs magic (search on google)? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my BF got hot 6 pack abs and lost a ton of fat with it.

  • @Sherry78 depends on what fasting you are doing, if is liquid is good for you because it will clean up your body and will start fresh again, the no food is also good because your stomach will shrink and will also give the body sometime to clean up, theres also juice fasting, ect...

  • @Sherry78

    It's a diet that fits some people's lifestyles.....some people find it easier to simply not think about food all day (twice per week), opposed to restricting calories all throughout the week. This is also preferred during a recomp cycle. You can eat large, calorie dense meals on lifting days, while fasting on resting days.

  • I don't eat til 3pm, having a piece of fruit, then at 6pm I have lean meat & veggies, at 9pm I have 2 eggs omelet with veggies, going approx 18 hours without food. I'm doing it every day only coz I find it easy, the scale says I'm losing approx 1/2 kilo per day, going for a 30 min run AM & 30 min weight session PM, calories in around 600, exercise out -600, I'm seriously vanishing ... throughout day having diet soda, espresso coffee & lots of water ... the mind is very clear :)

  • @Sherry78 Fasting should not equal starvation. Most humans throughout history and some groups today practice something similar. Only in the Western world are we so addicted to food that we feel like we have to constantly eat. I've been practicing intermittent fasting naturally before I heard of eat-stop-eat and I was healthy and had plenty of energy. It was when I let others discourage me that I ran into problems trying to eat multiple meals daily.

  • Hello Brad,

    This is a really helpful series of videos. I need to fast for a whole month (August 2010) and can't eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset. What type of workout and diet would be best for this? Sunrise is at 5 AM and sunset is at 8 PM. Thanks.

  • How on earth is this not a FAD diet? You have to starve yourself on a regular basis?

    Am I missing something here....

  • I am starting an IF regime this week. I have worried over it for some time because I have been of the opinion that starving slows you metabolism and not eating breakfast is bad for your metab. as well. then I decided that the important part of this is the "Intermittent" part. If you consistently starve or skip breakfast it might make bad changes but doing it for a limited amount of time and then eating well, your body wont make those adjustments. ...Right?
