The Protein Review

You don’t need to waste your money on rubbish that doesn’t work. Fasting is a cost effective way to control fat loss AND enhance your health.

As you can see from this series on fasting, fasting has been an often overlooked answer to the dieting needs of many people. For the vast majority of us, the answer to the question, “Should we be fasting?” is a resounding YES!

Even more impressive is that the people who used fasting as a method of weight control maintained most of their weight loss over the course of an entire year. This is very different from the people who were on low calorie and very low calorie diets, who tended to regain all of theirweight loss one year after their initial diet.

Growth hormone is getting a lot of press these days. Rumour mills are buzzing that many top-level Hollywood celebrities are taking growth hormone because it helps burn fat, build muscle, and supposedly has ‘anti-aging’ effects.

If we consider fed and fasted to be the yin and yang of metabolism, then the hormonal equivalent to fed and fasted could be thought of as insulin and glucagon.

This is why I say that most diets don’t work. The style of diet makes no difference. What matters is that you have to eat less in order to lose body fat.

If you have been following my recent posts you can see that intermittent fasting is an area that I am becoming interested in. Intermittent fasting is where you go on a fast for 24 hours and then return to your normal eating patterns.
