To get leaner and stay lean (even get bigger) - does anyone implement it?

A friend linked me on twitter to this site

It seems amazing! Does any one here have any prior experience with it? Or know of anyone who has used it? The results this guy gets look damn promising....

wouldn't do it myself- increase in cortisol = fat being held around your middle. Starving for 1 day would increase cortisol. You may lose weight but this will be because over say 10 days, your calorie intake will have been halved so instead of 1800kcals a day your eating 900kcals per day (works out to be) which of course would have you drop weight. BUT!

You will have your body throwing all sorts of wobblys- slowing down to conserve calories, fine when your eating 900kcals per day but eventually your body will become very hungry and you may not find it so easy to stick to- you also may not be able to stick to a "normal" amount on your off days. And if your thinking of doing this short term, its very likely the weight will all come back at you once you restart normal eating.

Then there are problems like concerntration at work, dizzy spells day to day (no good when exercising), becoming anti-social and snapping at people because you haven't eaten/feeling too shattered to go out, lack of sleep due to a very increased appetite...

I'd not do this anymore then I'd do a "shake" diet: no good long term. if you don't learn how to eat properly when your dieting and you don't teach your body how to tollerate normal or smaller portions, its goind to be a very big uphill battle once you return to normal.

And woe betide you have any underlying heart conditions your unaware of- it could risk your life!
 
The link just takes you to his website.. which one of his articles on intermittent fasting are you trying to link to?
 
It's not a junk site, I read about this guy a few months ago. He basically uses periods of non eating/fasting yet still bulks up with great success.

Personally I would not do it, for one I love to eat, so knowing I will not be allowing myself to be eating would be too a big psychological hurdle for me... lol!

At the end of the day there are probably a million, million, different ways to get a perfect body, but it all, ultimately, comes down to what you eat and how much you lift. Those two things are key in any body re-composition plan, how you go about using these two things is a path of trial and error for everyone.
 
No spamming here.

I wanted to see some opinions/if anyone practiced from around the site! As the above poster said, full on legit.

It's mainly been used in conjunction with dieting on the site there - and the results have been stellar by the looks of it.

It's not 'magic', but it helps with hunger when on reduced calories. I'd like to get lean like some of those guys...without feeling hungry :D
 
Fasting isn't magic. Its not good either. Your body is an organic engine. When you run out of organic fuel, you don't magically keep going. Sure there's fat reserves, but you don't need fasting to burn fat with wicked efficiency.
Plus, if you've got the dedication to actually fast, then you've got what it takes to lose fat in a healthy, faster way (because fasting does raise cortisol levels which least to catabolism AND fat storage...not burning).
 
Well I'd been thinking about it.
Say you eat breakfast at 9am, eat lunch at 1pm and dinner 6-7pm
You are eating you food in a 9ish hour period anyway.

Here you just eat in 8 hours. Say 3pm - 11pm. Would help with night time cravings...for me anyway.
