Due to popular demand, there will be a NEW Intermittent Fasting option in the “2.0” version of the Performance Nutrition Diet (the meal plan we use in our 28 Day Rapid Fat Loss Challenges at FVT.)
Here is an overview of the protocol. (It is taken directly from Eat Stop Eat – and I recommend you purchase THAT book if you really want to learn all about it, and how it works):
— Fast 1-2x per week for 20-24 hours.
— Consume as little as possible during your fast. Calorie – free beverages such as tea, black coffe, water are encouraged during the fast.
— EAT on the days you’re not fasting – do NOT “diet” on your eating days!
— A ROUGH guide is to eat ~ 2000 calories (women) and ~ 2500 calories (men) on all other, non-fasting days of the week
— Shoot for approx 100 grams of protein per day
— Weight train 2-5x per week to maintain muscle while you lose fat
Again – this is an OVERVIEW of the approach, and leaves out a lot of details.
If it sounds interesting to you, I recommend that you:
