Eat stop eat feedback…

More info from TT member Billy_quiz…this time, about his experiences with Brad Pilon’s Eat Stop Eat program

“It’s going great and there are about another 5 or 6 guys at work who’ve seen the results and are trying it.

The first couple of times were a little difficult but I think that was mainly psychological. My first fast I trained about 3 hours into it and because my body expected to be fed after training, I felt somewhat uncomfortable. However, the thing that convinced me it was psychological was next morning when I woke up I felt no more hungry than I would normally.

I have been fasting 2 days a week now for 9 weeks and I have lost something in the region of 20lbs. During that time I have normally fasted from breakfast to breakfast or lunch to lunch. It is not unusual for me to train at 20+ hours into a fast and feel no ill effects. Donna at work (who previously worked as a gym instructor) has recently tried and trained at 22hours. She had major concerns but was trusting enough to give it a go and was pleasantly surprised to find she had no ill effects.

What I would say is to play around with it for a couple of occasions and pick days where it fits your lifestyle best. As I work shifts I have to juggle it a bit but I normally look at fasting Monday into Tuesday and Friday into Saturday. The other tip I would have is to make sure you eat every day eg I might eat breakfast Monday and then fast and eat breakfast Tuesday.

I have never managed the multiple meals deal, it is just too difficult for me to fit into my life and ESE has been such a bonus for me. I’m sure I wouldn’t have made half the progress I have without it.”

Turbulence Training Tips for Fat Burning

Q on the TT Members forum:

“Hi everyone, I’m just wondering if anyone has any tips for folks who are new to TT? I’ve been doing Craig’s Belly Off program from Men’s Health, so I have a pretty decent understanding of the concepts. But, as this is a new program, I figured I’d ask all of you who’ve gone before me… what types of tips/advice do you have for making this work?”

You will achieve maximum fat loss from the resistance training and high intensity intervals. However, doing it too often will lead to injury and illness due to the strains it places on your body.

Steven Covey (who is a favourite author of mine) uses an illustration for time management of filling a glass jar with rocks, sand and water. When you put the rocks in first you can get most in the jar. The idea is to plan ‘first things first’.

Make your TT one of those first things. The cardio or additional exercise on other days is a bonus. I have found that as I have got older, it takes me longer to recover from intense exercise. I have ensured I got my TT in and on off days, if in doubt I have rested rather than train tired and risk injury.

It is better to be 10% undertrained than 1% overtrained!

Very best of luck and keep working hard
