Today its one of the most popular diet approaches, eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day to sustain metabolism and prevent muscle breakdown.Both of those claims are complete nonsense, as no research has shown that minimizing meal quantity but increasing frequency leads to increased fat loss. And also intermittent fasting has no effect on metabolism and muscle breakdown which will be proven later in this article.Why high-frequency small meal diet approach is set for failure: Not convenient constantly cooking meals and thinking where your next meal will come from Constant hunger bird portion meals never satisfy your hunger.

Obsessive Basically this type of nutrition becomes obsessiveness, which is not healthy for the mind and social life.

Fat loss2. Lifestyle3. Health & longevity

#1 Fat Loss Benefits

Raised metabolism studies have shown that short-term intermittent fasting (16-18 hours) actually raises your metabolism and you burn more fat. Unlike the common belief that fasting will put you into starvation mode that slows down your metabolism. Studies have shown starvation modes kicks in only after 3 days of fasting. Increased stubborn fat loss during the 12-16th hour of your fast, the blood-flow to the hard to get to areas is increased and your body starts utilizing those areas, as there its main source of energy. Increased growth hormone HGH (human growth hormone) boosts fat burn and muscle tone, Hollywood celebrities pay thousands of dollars on the black market to get a hold of it. Studies have shown that you can increase your growth hormone by 600% just by intermittent fasting Inhibited insulin insulin is a fat storing hormone. Whenever its inhibited, our body starts using fat as its main source of energy. During the fast your insulin will be very low and your body will almost exclusively use fat as its source of energy.

This combination of 4 factors creates maximal fat burning effect no other diet will provide.

Repeat until reach goal.

Light Protein Meal #1 3 Egg Omelette with Veggies

As you can see the day consists of skipping breakfast, eating two light protein based meals during the day, working out almost fasted, and then enjoying a huge satisfying meal in the evening in a relaxed atmosphere.Is big meal at evening a must?No you can alter your big meal timing, it can be your lunch and then you eat to light protein meals. Just make sure you eat those 3 meals in your 8-hour window.You can time them however you want, but optimally your big meal should be saved for evening time to preserve fat loss after your fast and achieve optimal function during the day (will beexplainedlater).In controlled studies, late eating patterns are superior for fat loss and body composition.Your fat loss is 100% managed by this diet.No fat burning supplements, no steroids, no cardio, no calorie counting, no strict rules.Now, lets get behind the scenes and see how this really works, and why this diet is planned this way.Carbs on training days, healthy-fats on rest days

Workout days: carb dominant day, moderate protein, low fat. Rest day: protein dominant day, moderate fat (avocados, olives, almonds), low carb.THE 4 KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL INTERMITTENT FASTINGWell try to cover 4 important points that make this diet work:1. Central nervous system integration2. Insulin Management3. Smart Carb Consumption4. Protein Oriented Diet

Key #1 Central Nervous System Integration

Biologically, humans are nocturnal eaters. Thats how our autonomic nervous is built.During the day youre under the control of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which keeps, you alert, energetic, focused and active- but the SNS is inhibited by large meals. During the night youre under the control of the Para-sympatheticnervous system (PSNS), which is also known as rest-and-digest mode. PSNS makes you relaxed and promotes digestion Hence, night is your best time for your main meal.On 95% of the days, I eat my big meal at the evening, this is allows me for optimal functioning during the day: productivity, energy and focus. And be able to enjoy a nice satisfying meal in the evening that allows me to rest and digest.Some days I might go out to lunch with friends/family (so I eat light protein meal at evening).Eat your big meal whenever you want in your 8-hour window, but for reasons outlined above, its recommended to eat 2 light protein meals during day to stay energetic, focused & productive (13:00 and 17:00 are the times I have my light meals).

Our Ancestors Hunted During The Day, And Ate Big At Night

Key #2 Insulin Management

Insulin is a fat storage hormone, and whenever insulin is raised it prevents our body from using fat as its source of energy.Therefore you guessed right, our diet is focused around keeping insulin low. Fasting inhibits insulin, and light protein meals hardly trigger it, which allows us to sustain a smooth fat-burning process.However, is insulin our enemy, and should we avoid carbs completely?The answer is HELL NO!Carbs are fantastic and insulin is your friend. You just need the right timing and the right quantities so your body utilizes it properly for energy and brain function.Key #3 Smart Carb Consumption

99% of people consume carbs in the wrong time and in the wrong quantities, which is the #1 reason for obesity today.Theres no need to get angry and blame carbs, we can only blame ourselves for not using them properly.There are many diet approaches today that all revolve around carbs: no carb, low carb, slow carbCarb depletion = miserable, stressed, non-stop cravings and poor brain function.Carbs are necessary and serve as fuel for your brain and body.Instead, be smart about carbs. You can call it the smart-carb diet approach.Time your carbs:we aim to eat our carbs post-workout (strength training).On non-training days, replace carbs with healthy fats (avocado, nuts, dark chocolate) consume in moderation of course.More optimally, you want to consume carbs at evening/night and post-workout.Our digestive system is designed to be activated at night, and it happily welcomes carbs (unlike during day time that gives you energy crashes).Conclusion: You can eat carbs guilt-free and avoid gaining an ounce of fat.

Post-Workout Carbs:

1. Improved proteinsynthesis- carbs actually help the protein to build a better muscle (http://www.the-aps.org/press/journal/04/7.htm)2. Replenish depleted muscle glycogen your carbs dont get stored as fat but utilized exclusively as energy for the bodyThe quantity: 100 grams of carbs recommended per day for fat loss. So you eat 100 grams of carbs with your big evening, post-workout meal.

The quality:Eat healthy, complex, non-processed carbs like Brown rice, yams, black beans. Instead of pasta/white bread. You can get a list of healthy carbs on ourfoods to eatpage.

Healthy Fats Will Help You Lose Fat Improper Carb Consumption Is The Reason Why Everyone Is Fat

Key #4 Protein Oriented Diet

So why do we eat 2 light protein based meals during the day? Preserve Muscle

After your 16-hour fast you want to prevent muscles from entering breakdown state. Consume light protein sources such as eggs, cottage and whey protein. Control Hunger

Proteins are very effective hunger managers, 3 egg omelette or 250g of cottage cheese can get you satiated for hours all the way to 19:00-20:00 PM easily (where you eat your main big meal of the day). Sustain Fat Loss

Light protein meals will increase glucagon (fat burning hormone) and inhibit insulin (fat storing hormone). So after your 16-hour fast where youve burnt fat, you continue burning fat throughout the day until your dinner (main meal of the day). Maintain Proper Functioning

Light protein meal doesnt inhibit your sympathetic nervous system so you stay alert, focused, productive and energetic throughout the day.Adapting to a habitual high-protein diet is one of the most important changes you can do for long-term body fat control.TWO COMMON FASTING MYTHSMyth #1: Fasting will cause you to lose muscle

Muscle catabolism only occurs on prolonged fasting of 24+ hours. Intermittent short-term fasting only promotes muscle preservation through the release of HGH (human growth hormone).So all the nonsense of eating every 2-3 hours, so you wont lose muscle were made up by supplement corporations that offer you shakes and bars as a replacement for your meals. They know no normal person can cook 5-6 meals per day.

Serge Nubret 2nd Place Mr Olympia Ate Just 1 Meal Per Day of 5,000 CaloriesSerge was competing with Arnold at his best days, and was second to him.Does it look like Serge was losing muscle because of his intermittent fasting approach?This is clear proof that the 6 meals per day is complete B.S and intermittent fasting will not cause you to lose any muscle considering that consume enough protein. Additionally intermittent fasting maintains young biological age (will be discussed further).Myth #2: Fasting will reduce your metabolism

Yes, metabolism is reduced after 24-72 hours of fasting, which we dont do on our intermittent fasting lifestyle. In fact, studies have shown that short-term fasting of 16 hours increases your metabolism.Intermittent fasting is not prolonged fasting, you fast for 16 hours max (8 of which you sleep), and so no loss of muscle or metabolism occurs, only supercharged fat loss.

CHEAT MEALSAfter a week of productive intermittent fasting, a cheat meal is necessary for several reasons:1. Restore metabolism (the re-feed, boosts your metabolism back to peak levels)2. Restore glycogen in muscles (any depletion that might be caused during the week is now brought to balance)3. Get psychologically satisfied, and happily continue another week of fun & easy intermittent fasting lifestyle.

Cheat Meals Enjoy Responsibly (Don't Overdo It)

Lets be honest, its impossible to prevent ourselves from eating our favourite foods in the long run, therefore we allow it to ourselves every week. And every week during our diet we imagine the huge cheat meal were going to have.Avoid cheat days where you eat like madman all day long, this puts on lots of fat on you and you will destroy a whole week of progress with such approach.Try to avoid drinking your calories in form of sweet drinks. I had always-bad results with them and they destroyed 2-3 days of progress. Chew your cheat calories and there will be no setbacks.THE TRUTH ABOUT ALCOHOLPreventing alcohol = setting yourself for failureAlcohol is part of a normal, healthy social life and avoiding it is completely unnecessary.Lets discuss two myths regarding Alcohol.Myth #1: Alcohol Lowers Your Testosterone

I love scientific claims. People use them without stating the exact numbers behind those studies. If you refer to the study about testosterone reduced by alcohol, you will see that 6 beers, will reduce your testosterone by 6% (for 24 hours max)Can you live with that? I can.I love the fitness/weight-loss industry that turns small things into big controversy.

Social Drinking In Moderation Will Not Affect Fat LossMyth #2: Alcohol Makes You Fat

When consumed in moderation, and not consumed with burgers and fries, you can maintain lean and ripped physique and still enjoy drinking when going out.The problem starts when you have bad diet all week, then you get munchies feeling from alcohol and you add fries and other fattening foods, this is where people fall in the trap of beer belly.Other than that, moderate, social drinking is fine.

3 COMMON INTERMITTENT FASTING MISTAKESMistake #1: Under eating

Fasting has interesting effects, sometimes after a 16-hour fast, we wont feel hungry at all, but nevertheless, dont skip your meals. Keep it light during the day, and eat a heavy meal in the evening as supper.Ive done all possible variations and mistakes. Ive tried skipping the last meal because I wasnt very hungry and thought I can speed my fat loss process, which resulted in eating a whole cake at night because of huge hunger surge. Ive tried to eliminate carbs on my big meal on days of not training; again I had the emotional surges of eating and couldnt last more than a few days.Mistake #2: Over-carbing

Some of you might be big carb eaters, and this can slow your diet very much as carbs are packed in calories. You should eat carbs in moderation, just enough to recharge energy for next day, and maintain proper brain and body function.So please dont go super crazy on your big evening meal, its recommended that for fat loss you eat maximum 100 grams of carbs. And for single-digit body fatmaintenanceabout 150 grams of carbs.Mistake #3: Consuming innocent diet killers

These are usually small foods that seem innocent but in fact are packed with calories and sugars.Examples: Syrups. Avoid at all cost. Drink water with lime/mint, green tea, black coffee (no sugar, milk) Honey delicious with tea or cottage, but is packed with sugars (I would avoid it until goal is reached, then you can enjoy every day) Tahini seems innocent, but contains 5 times more calories than in brown rice (I prefer to eat the carbs) Ketchup delicious, because its packed with sugars. I suggest consuming it only in your big evening meal (optimally post-workout) Sauces like Teriyaki, contains lots of soy and sugars. Very bad for health, I recommend avoiding soy whether youre on a diet or not. (Soy is high in oestrogens and causes man boobs)

There are many more silent diet killers, please watch ingredients before adding anything to your basic meals.

Check Nutrition Value OnFoods to Avoid 'Innocent' Diet KillersTIPS FOR GETTING THROUGH THE 16-HOUR FAST Get yourself busyYour day is now free of thinking about food, take advantage of it and get as productive as possible. Dont skip your light protein meals and make sure youre getting enough protein in your light meals. They are very effective in satiating hunger. Dont eat half a cottage; eat a full 250g cottage cup. Drink black coffee or green teaBoth are great appetite suppressants (I drink black coffee at 8:00 and 16:00 every day)Sugar & milk free of course! Put things into perspectivePeople have fasted for 40 days and still felt great (you can see videos on YouTube)Normally you shouldnt feel any hunger if you get enough protein on your light protein meals. Imagine your cheat mealThink of the amazing, rewarding, big, cheat meal youre going to have in a few days. Plan out exactly what youre going to eat and where youre going to get it from and how youre going to prepare it. This has always helped me to get excited and motivated to keep going without cheating during the week.INTERMITTENT FASTING AND CARDIOCardio can burn more calories, however it is not necessary.If you stick to your diet, it will be more than enough for your fat loss.TheRipped Hollywood Bodysystem is focused on intermittent fasting + strength training (3 workouts per week).On days youre not training, just take 45-minute walk before/after the big evening meal.Doing cardio, especially HIIT just drains your central nervous system and eventually will interfere with your diet and training.If for some reason you insist on cardio for conditioning reason for example, try to make sure it doesnt interfere with your diet.Once you achieve your goal, you can do all the cardio you want.Your fat loss can be 100% managed by your intermittent fasting diet, and is a streamlined process all the way down to 6% body fat.

One Sprinting Session Per Week Is More Than Enough For Maintaining Cardiovascular HealthINTERMITTENT FASTING AND ANTI-AGINGLongevity is NOT just about increasing lifespan. It is also about keeping yourself biologically young. And with intermittent fasting it is possible.In order to reach the best muscle, skin and bone composition, you want to reduce the percentage of the dying cells in the tissues. Intermittent fasting is a great way to do this since it triggers a process calledrecycling.Your body will recycle sick cells, tumours, and over-used fibres to build new tissues. This process will not only keep you young, it will keep you much stronger and leaner. Really lean and strong people have excellent muscle composition that is much better than people that eat non-stop and look bulky.When your body is forced to break its tissues, it always prefers to sacrifice first its damaged proteins and old or sick cells. Technically all damaged proteins and old, sick and cancerous cells are tagged by immune cells to be digested by the bodys ubiquitin enzymes and the nitrogen by-products are then recycled back into new cells and tissues.By daily triggering this rejuvenation mechanism through intermittent fasting. You provide yourself with long-lasting anti-aging benefits.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CARBS

Mommy, I'm Afraid They're Going To Kill Me

In the last 30 years, carbs have become the bad guys on the block.Millions of people today are afraid of them and desperately try to lose weight by minimizing/avoid them.This is of course nonsense, and carbs are amazing nutrient for your body. For superior fat loss, muscle development, optimal body and brain function.Weve all had our love-hate relationships with carbs, weve all heard about no-carb, low-carb diets, were all confused about whether carbs are good or bad, now its time to set the record straight and reveal the real truth about carbs.Clarification: carbs on this article arereferredto grain based carbs (bread, rice, pasta,potatoesetc.).There are carbs in vegetables, but super low amounts, you need to eat trees to meet your daily carb requirements, so from now on know that Im referring to carbs as grain based carbs we all love to eat.I will try to make this as short as simple to understand as possible, so lets get startedTWO FACTS ABOUT CARBS:1. Grain based carbs are healthy and fantastic to our body.2. Grain based carbs are the number #1 cause of obesity in the worldThese two facts dont really add up, but the true reason is that most people abuse themselves with over-carbing.

ITS NOT YOUR FAULTJoke it is your fault.Carbs are not the enemy; you are your own enemy.If youre obese/over-weight, youre the idiot that brought yourself there (I know I did)Most diet gurus and programs will tell you Its not your fault or Carbs are bad This is of course B.S and they will say anything to sell you their shitty products.It is your fault. And carbs are awesome!

The TruthLOW-CARB, NO-CARB, SLOW-CARBAll of this is stupid B.S invented by sneaky marketers that want to sell you their shitty products and amazing new diet secrets.Its about SMART CARB consumption. Eating carbs at the right time, and the right quantity. You will enjoy all the benefits of carbs, without gaining a single ounce of fat.THE ROLES OF CARBS-Brain fuel

The brain needs a mixed fuel of carbs, protein and fat to function properly.Take any of those away and you will feel anxious, dizzy, lethargic or even depressed.When there arent enough carbs as fuel, you will feel deprived and develop sugar cravingsWhich inevitably lead to compulsive bingeing.Thus the ability to destroy weeks of progress in a matter of days.-Stress blocker

Carbs block cortisol (the stress hormone).Carbs provide the ability to produce serotonin (a neurotransmitter that makes us feel calm, relaxed and happy)

-Body fuel

Carbs are the cleanest fuel for energy.The body breaks carbs into glucose as energy source without any toxic by products. The body does it efficiently and quickly. And carbs are cheap also. So its a win-win for you.Protein and fat breakdown = there are toxic by-products such as:Ammonia, nitrates, free radicals, oxidized fatty acids.Its doesnt mean you need to avoid protein and fats; its just to emphasize how efficient carbs are for the body.HOW A CARB-LESS LIFE LOOKS LIKEIn one word, miserable.Effects of chronic carb deprivation: Poor sleep Anxiety, stress, depression and mood swings Compromised ability to relax Lowered metabolism Possible accelerated agingprocess Inability to focus due to non-calm mindGURUS EATING CARBS IN THE DARKMany anti-carb gurus and websites have risen and fallen over the years.Eventually, they all break; they all understand they cant keep with a no carb diet, and theyonly bring harm to themselves and their followers.A great example is CutTheCarb.com a major anti-carb/carpophore community. The owner eventually broke down and admitted thathe was wrong and cant live anymore without carbs. He added carbs to his diet, improved body & mind, abandoned anti-carb mentality. And shut down the site.There are many other examples of gurus today that have stranded themselves in the corner. They have books on Amazonthat are against carbs, and now they cant change their position, even though more truth is coming up the surface. They have to hide and eat their carbs under the table.We wont name names here, because there are plenty. We know they tried to make a positive effect on the world,and they get my respect, but they were just wrong and should admit it. Everyone makes mistakes, no shame in thatSMART CARB CONSUMPTIONWith proper timing, and quantity you will not gain an ounce of fat from consuming carbs.Whoever tells you to avoid carbs or have a low carb diet probably is emotionally miserable. Have low energy, poor brain functioning and bad sleep.Grains are amazing source of energy for our brain and body, and are integral part of fat loss and muscle building.Yes, this might be shocking to you, but this is the truth about grain-based carbs (bread, rice, pasta etc.)We shouldnt blame the carbs, we should blame ourselves!

WHEN TO CONSUME CARBS Post workout Evening

If you can schedule your workout during evening time, thats great because this is the sweet spot.On non-training days, consume your carbs at evening time.Carbs Quantity: 100-250gm Post Workout 50-100gm Rest Days (Evening time)Why evening/night time carbs: Relaxation Satisfaction Sense of pleasure Improved sleep Superior fat lossUnless youre an athlete, you can avoid eating complex-carbs during the day and focus only on consuming at evening time.(Fruit and veggies as carbs during day allowed to everyone)Try to time your workout to evening time (6-7).

FOODS TO EATProteins Meat (Beef, Chicken Breast etc.) Grass fed if possible Eggs Cottage Cheese Fish Whey Protein - I personally prefer to chew my protein, but do drink itpost-workout (3 times per week)Carbs Brown Rice Black beans Protein, heart-healthy fiber, antioxidants. Sweet Potato Yams Potato Quinoa Barley Low GI, high-protein, liver cleanser. Oats Millet Wheat (bread, pasta, pitta) Etc.Dont be afraid of carbs, they are important for fat loss, muscle development, proper brain and body functioning. Eat the majority of your carbs post-workout.Carbs On Rest Days Evening time Less carbs (50-100 grams)

Carbs On Training Days Post-workout Lots of carbs (100-250 grams)

VegetablesAll types of vegetables!I recommend broccoli with your meat-based meals.Broccoli is very powerful anti-estrogenic and anti-cancer food.The more the better

Fruits Should be limited as fruits usually contain lots of sugar thatinterfereswith fat loss.I only eat: Apples Berries

I swap them every day, with my cottage cheese.Yes, there are probably more fruits that are allowed but I like to keep it simple and eat one of those every day.Once you reach weight maintenance phase (6%-8% body fat), you can enjoy a wider variety of fruits as you can eat more calories.Healthy Fats Avocados estrogen reducing food, very healthy fats. (Half avocado on non-training days max) Nuts estrogen reducing food, very high in calories. Almonds are my top pick. (10 nuts per day max) Nut butters peanut butter, almond butter (consume in low quantities when losing weight) Dark chocolate 70% or more CocoaOestrogen management is important to be able to eliminate fat from chest area.Fluids Water (possible with lime or mint) Tea (no sugar added) Black coffee (no sugar or milk added)

CONCLUSIONSLow to no carb diets will have tremendous negative effects on your body and mind, and most will fail in the long run.Carbs are one of the 3 necessary nutrients for our body and brain.You should enjoy quality carbs, guilt free.Eat carbs in the right quantities, and timing. (Evening time, post-workout more carbs, rest days less carbs)And you will not gain an ounce of fat and will only enjoy the benefits outlined at the beginning.
