EAT STOP EAT

Hi there,

When I started fasting, one of the biggest problems I had was not that I was too hungry, but I was too bored. I was not sure what to do with all my time. Now I make sure that I have a more planned day.

I ensure I have plans especially for my break time. 

Today I read the EAT STOP EAT by Brad Pilon. Very informative, I intend to give it a try once I reach my desired goal. 

Some Highlights of the book:

 Here are some of the great benefits that Eat Stop Eat can offer you:

You don’t have to worry about food all day. Eating every three hours, cycling your protein and your carbs, measuring your glycemic index, I don’t think any of these things are needed for solid long lasting weight loss. With Eat Stop Eat you can forget about all of these obsessive compulsive eating habits.

Your metabolism will not slow down and you will not go into “starvation mode”. With Eat Stop Eat you will clearly see the research behind why short periods of fasting will NEVER cause you to go into starvation mode. Your metabolism will stay just as high as it ever was (In fact, some research suggests it may even go higher!)

Your Testosterone levels will not plummet. Short period of fasting for weight loss will not cause your testosterone levels to plummet, in fact, they are typically HIGHEST when you are fasting (unless you are a mouse). Truthfully, losing excess weight could be one of the best things any man or woman could do maintain healthy levels of testosterone

You will not get light-headed and cranky! In actuality its a myth that not eating causes you to become cranky or light headed. From my experience it is actually a mental 'addiction' addiction to eating that makes most people get cranky when they don't eat. Eat Stop Eat can help you to break the 'food addiction' that causes this reaction.

You don’t have to avoid going to restaurants with your friends. Eat Stop Eat is flexible. Spending months hiding from your friends because you are on a restrictive diet is a thing of the past. Now you can enjoy the freedom to live normally (and still lose weight) with Eat Stop Eat.

You will save money. Eat Stop Eat won’t ask you to start drinking goat milk or rice milk or any other expensive food that you really don’t like. With Eat Stop Eat you will learn why you don’t have to spend any extra money on “special foods”.

You will boost your body fat burning hormones. With Eat Stop Eat you will reap the benefits of naturally increasing the exact same hormones that celebrities are paying thousands of dollars for in an attempt to stay lean, muscular and young looking.

You will not have to take any weird supplements or eat special foods. Let’s face it. A good nutrition program should not ever have to rely on supplements to help you lose weight.

You will still have great workouts. Think not eating for a couple hours is going to ruin your workout? Think again. You can still have amazing body fat burning and muscle building workouts while following Eat Stop Eat.

You will not lose ANY of your hard earned muscle. Eat Stop Eat will show you the scientific facts behind why a lot of what you are told about dieting and muscle loss is nothing more than diet industry scare tactics.

You will lose weight, and this weight will be all body fat. With the Eat Stop Eat program, weight loss is steady and consistent, and the weight you will lose will be body fat.

You don’t have to avoid carbs, or fats. Forget about eating canned tuna and low fat cottage cheese for days on end, and Eat Stop Eat was designed to work in the real world, so that people can eat real foods.

You don’t have to eat mega-doses of protein every day. Do you think you need to eat 50 grams of protein every 2-3 hours so you can gain muscle mass. Think again. With Eat Stop Eat you’ll learn the real truth behind muscle mass and dieting. Goodbye expensive gross protein shakes.

You will not have to take any weird cleansing products or laxatives. Eat Stop Eat is an advanced fasting diet that is based on real world science. There are no weird potions or laxatives involved.

You can follow the diet you like best. With Eat Stop Eat you can follow any style of eating you like, after all, Eat Stop Eat doesn’t tell you what you can and can’t eat, that’s all up to you.

You will be productive. With Eat Stop Eat, you won’t go into a super low productive funk like what happens with some traditional diets. In fact, many people have told me that they are their absolute most productive on their fasting days!

You will have energy. With Eat Stop Eat you will not feel tired, cranky or lethargic. In fact, I'm guessing you will feel energized and alert.

And most importantly, you will not waste any of your precious time!

FREEDOM - NO DIETING

With the Fast-5 Lifestyle you can eat what you want. Anything you want. NO food is off limits. Of course you don't want to binge and eat donuts all day. But, if you want a donut, have a donut! No measuring, no counting, no planning, no expensive grocery bills, no powders, no pills, NO DIETING! When I am fasting and I see others eating or I have a craving for something, I just say to myself, "I can have that, I just have to wait a little while." Then when you break your fast at the scheduled time, go ahead and have that thing that caught your eye.

Fast-5 has given me FREEDOM.

Look at me now !
