If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and also grab the "leaked" chapter of The Fat Loss Black Book called "The Gremlin Must Die". Thanks for visiting!
I saw this video on YouTube and felt like commenting on it.
You see, not only have I read BP’s Eat Stop Eat… but I’ve read the research and seen the studies.
As long as you are weight training, you will not lose significant muscle mass while engaging in short term fasting.
In fact, here was my response to the YouTube video:
Hey guy…
As far as the research is concerned, Pilon’s Eat Stop Eat is actually his master’s thesis… lol.
In other words, it had to pass peer review so that he could get his degree

For me, the eating 6 meals per day is a tougher way to go… as I stay hungrier throughout the day for some reason.
Also, because of the growth hormone surge as you approach your 24th hour… it is possible to gain strength… or at least I haven’t stopped gaining strength yet.
Plus, it’s easy (a plus)
I have heard some pretty quack advice over the past few years… some of the “nuggets”…
* If you don’t eat breakfast, then your next meal will turn to fat
* Eating an apple will make you fat… because it jacks up your insulin levels
* Make sure to stay in the fat burning zone…
All crap advice for most people.
Anyway, I’m doing an interview with Pilon next week… you’ll definitely want to get on that…
