The big Eat Stop Eat Mistake…

December 4, 2009 By Brad Pilon

I loved the entire process of researching and writing Eat Stop Eat.

Every single minute of it.

However, There is one thing I would change…

I would have never called it “fasting” in any way, shape or form.

I would have called it “Occasional Breaks from Eating”.

Obviously, fasting is the correct term, but personally, I think this is a much better description of Eat Stop Eat.

People still think that Eat Stop Eat has something to do with prolonged ‘starving’ or fasting for weeks on end.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Occasional Breaks from Eating (or for some people, occasional breaks from feasting), combined with a little bit of self-awareness trying to figure out which habits and cues unconsciously drive you to eat..that’s what Eat Stop Eat is all about.

Freedom, Flexibility, eating less and a little bit of self-discovery.

We all need to take a break every once in a while, whether its work, working out or eating.

Why we hate the BMI

  A new study adds to the growing evidence that an elevated BMI increases the risk of a heart attack in otherwise healthy people. In what has been called the largest study of its kind (data on over 500,000 people) researchers classified participants based on their body mass index (BMI), calculated as weight (kg) divided […]

How Many Calories can you Burn in a day?

Have you ever stopped to think that there might be an upper-limit to human metabolism? Basically a ‘ceiling rate’ at which we can burn through calories? Probably not, but don’t worry… I did for you! I’ve heard rumors of people eating well over 10,000 calories during a single cheat day, or even every day during […]

Reverse Taper Intermittent Fasting

The concept of the Reverse Taper Diet is still one of my favorite ideas. Without getting too technical, the concept is that you should be in your largest calorie deficit (eating the least amount of food) at the beginning of your diet, when you have the most fat to lose and thus the most fat […]

Fasting for Weight Loss – Setting the Record Straight

Paleo eating and vegan eating are the EXACT SAME THING. This is why any and all research on Paleo diets can be used for Vegan diets, and vice versa. It’s also why any personal experiences people have had with a Vegan diet can be directly applied to what you will probably experience with the Paleo […]

Never Skip Leg Day

Friends don’t let friends skip leg day, or so the saying goes… Small legs, chicken legs, the triumphant retort of any one to any body with a good bench or built upper body… But is it justified?
