The Truth Behind Eat Stop Eat Diet
By Robert | December 31, 2008
Eat Stop Eat by Brad Pilon has taken the media by a storm the past few months. If you have come across his website www.eatstopeat.com, then you probably have the idea that it is a “lose fat without diet” approach. It could NOT be further from the truth. Read this Eat Stop Eat review for more details on the system.
Intermittent fasting has existed for a long period of time. In fact, fasting has its own special place in many religions as well. How does Eat Stop Eat fit into all this?
The bodybuilders came up with the approach of splitting their calorie intake by 5 to 6 meals since it was quite tough to divinde a 3500 calorie diet by 3 meals. This approach was made popular in the fitness industry with the words “starvation mode”. Eat Stop Eat diet approach is a flexible approach to diet that breaks all these new rules by stating the facts out there that you really must know.
The health and fitness industry took advantage of this system by making a rule that the only way to lose fat fast is by eating frequently or your body falls into what is called “the starvation mode”.
Eat Stop Eat is a new approach that breaks this theory by stating that there is no such thing as starvation mode. Fasting for 24 hours gives your body the break required to accelerate fat loss. Consider this calculation – You need to burn 3500 calories every week to safely burn 1 to 2 lbs of pure fat. You fast for 24 hours, 2 days a week and you just saved yourself 3400 to 3600 calories!
To make EatStopEat work in favour of your fat loss goals, all you have to do is follow at least 3 days of high resistance strength training workouts. This stimulates muscle growth and Brad Pilon has proven how diet has no connection with muscle growth.
Yet there is one special advantage to following the Eat Stop Eat diet. You don’t have to count calories anymore. You don’t have to fear the clock waiting every 3 hours to feed your belly. You don’t have to be afraid of carbs anymore! You can eat moderately the way you want and still lose the fat as long as you follow strength training and one 24 hour fasting session every week!
