Absolutely no time in the
gym & zero cardio!
Please share this page with friends and colleagues.
Did you know the human body will burn 2000 to 2500 calories a day with you doing nothing more than just living. That does not include the gym or running. Everyday the human body needs to supply energy to make the brain and organs work and this all needs fuel to keep you alive and ticking. This is the magic of
intermittent fasting.
Intermittent fasting (IF) is a pattern of eating that alternates between a 24hr period of fasting followed by a day of eating from the list below.
Fasting/non-eating days: (meaning consumption of only water, tea, coffee and diet soda. Also not consuming any sugar, milk, or juice) Trace amounts of calories in coffee are OK to enjoy! Under 20 total calories within a 24hr period.
Non-fasting/eating days: (meaning consumption vegetables, nuts, fruit, fish, any meat, dairy, bread, beer and wine all are OK. Under 2000 total calories within a 24hr period)
I felt so passionate about losing this weight I had to share my story of success with as many people as possible. Blogging seemed to be a simple and effective way to get the word out. So take my words and my 100 pounds of weight loss as that and nothing more than some guys opinion. It all started with the first month and 10 pounds of weight loss, then 45 pounds in 4 months and it just kept coming off month after month. Doubt was replaced by pounds of weight loss and unbelievable results. Yes it was hard to give up eating as with anything you enjoy, however the pay off was worth it. As with anything new its hard to change your life but I learned it got easier and easier month after month. Now its just normal part of my daily life.
My current weight 185lbs
Past weight 285lbs
Time time to drop the weight 10 months
Average weight loss per month 8 to 11lbs per month
Time spent in the gym = ZERO
Running = ZERO
Lifting weights = push ups and sit ups at home once in a while
Main source of exercise walking 3 to 5 miles weekly

Guess what there is no money in telling someone to eat less, no pills, no shakes, no gym equipment that you need to buy. Intermittent fasting is all over the Internet these days and gaining in success because this stuff work and it does not cost any money. Some things are free in life!!!!
The purpose of the stomach
The stomach core function is to take food you have eaten and breaking it down for digestion. If you keep putting food in the stomach you will never really burn fat. The body has to be out of food to really dig into fat stores. Just think of the stomach as a fuel tank# 1. Run out of fuel that is in the stomach and you are burning all fat!
If you are always full when you workout you will always stay fat! Keep filling up the stomach and you will never see pounds of weight loss.
Not the time to workout
Purpose of fat on the body
Fat that is stored on the body is used as energy to keep you alive when you have no food in your stomach. Its kinda of like a walk around refrigerator that goes with you. I often think if my fat as fuel tank#2. It keeps it simple and easy to follow when talking about fat loss.
Stomach and body fat continued
Both of these systems are interconnected and work as a team to keep you healthy by design. When you fast for 24hrs your body runs out of all food that was eaten from the last 24hrs and then has to turn to fat for energy to keep you running. When this happens its about hour 12 to hour 17 after eating your last meal. Shortly after that your body moves to tank#2 body fat as source of energy.
The average human uses about 2000 to 2500 calories a day operating the body. That 2000 calories varies between most people however this is a average for most people. Also really important is that this 2000 calories has nothing to do with running, going to the gym, or even walking. Just think about its like this you need fuel to run the body when you have no food in the stomach its time to burn up fat on your body. So by missing meals during the week it starts to add up quickly in pounds lost.
One Pound of fat = 3500 calories. You need to burn 3500 calories to drop one pound of fat, that is allot of time working out. However, I have a quicker way that worked for me.
Not eating from 6pm at dinner on Monday night until Tuesday night at 6pm means you just burned 2000 to 2500 calories by doing no workout. This happens because your body has to keep you alive and its going to need food to do that. The food will come from fat stores vs from the food that is normally sitting in your stomach for energy. People have totally lost this idea some how. Fat is energy to be used a later date. Keeping simple again!
Some simple math
For this example I will be using 2500 calories because this is my amount of calories burned during a given day for myself.
2500 Calories not eaten on Tuesday, Thursday,Saturday works out to be 2500 calories X 3 days = 7500 CALORIES the body burned running things. Again no exercise with that number.
c = calories
d = days
w = weeks
m = month
2500c x3d = 7500c x 4w = 37500c burned by not eating on the select days. 37500c / 3500c in pound of fat 10.71 lbs of fat burned in month one. Note if add in more walking to this or eat less on eat days you will see even greater results.

My 10 Simple Rules
1.) If you have any preexisting medical condition seek a doctors help first. I'm not a doctor nor do I have a degree in this health or nutrition.
2.) Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. I would keep water at my desk at home and the house plus in the car.
3.) Listen to your body and if you have to eat, then eat something.
4.) Do not tell everyone you know about this because they will make you feel like you are crazy. Keep it to your self and measure your success in pounds of weight loss.
5.) On my eat days I would always eat three full meals and never skip meals. Plan plan plan = total success for me. I had to be ready to miss eating on the following so it was important to fill up and ensure I was eating 1500 to 2500 on my eat days.
6.) Start small, on days you are not eating take 15hr fast fist for the first week until you are ready to add few hours each week until you reach a full 24hr fast.
7.) No gym needed. Just plan on doing some walking. Starting fasting and the gym will only end in failure.
8.) Plan on working on abs most of all because of all the weight you will lose. Only after the first month focus allot of time on the abs. I found that having excessive amount of weight loss and tons of loose skin. abs abs abs!!!! 15min to 30min daily is plenty of time to build up a 6pack.
9.) Use this time to build a relationship with food again.
10.) Enjoy your new body
