You Should Be Intermittent Fasting

I began Intermittent Fasting about two years ago and will absolutely never return to eating three square meals a day. I have lost a great amount of body fat and can stay lean year round without having a diet which is strict in nature. I follow a protocol of fasting for twenty-two hours a day while dedicating only two hours to feeding. I no longer get hungry throughout the day and get to eat like a king when i do eat. Along with implementing Intermittent Fasting, I began a strenuous weight lifting program of Deadlifts and accessory exercises on Monday, Chest Exercises on Wednesday, and Squats plus accessory leg exercises on Friday. Since implementing this program i have become vastly stronger and healthier. I would absolutely reccommend Intermittent Fasting to anyone, the health benefits of this lifestyle vastly outweigh any negatives it may have (if there even are negatives). If you wish to follow a weightlifting program while Intermittent Fasting see http://www.Leangains.com .

Ketogenic Diets

A Ketogenic diet is a way of eating where you consume high fat, moderate protein, and very low carb. The recommended number of carbohydrates one should consume a day on a ketogenic diet is under 30 grams. If you have a normal diet and decide to switch over to a ketogenic diet your body will go through a process were you enter a state called ketosis. At first entering ketosis may cause you to have a number of flu like symptoms commonly known as the “keto flu”. This should pass after a few days though. While in this transition stage it is hugely important that you supplement certain vitamins that your body may be missing, these vitamins include Potassium, Sodium, and Magnesium.

Since i myself adapted this diet a while back i have noticed i can eat vastly over my daily caloric needs by a lot and still lose weight as long as i eat high fat and extremely low carb.
