Since 2007 Eat Stop Eat has always been a method of losing fat that involved one or two 24 hour fasts per week.
For almost 2 decades now, Eat Stop Eat has stood the test of time as a highly effective style of eating that has been able to help so many people lose weight in a manner they found to be relatively easy.
In fact, since the initial writing of Eat Stop Eat in 2007 there really has never been a reason to change this approach.
It is what it is, and it works.
When combined with a solid resistance training Eat Stop Eat allowed you to both build muscle and burn fat.
Now, what we do around our fasts… This is an area that has puzzled me for some time.
Basically…. What to eat, why and when.
This is the area where many people have difficulty, and up until recently I never really had a solid answer for the people who needed a bit more help.
I knew our diets should contain a fair amount of fruit as I’m a big fan of the polyphenols found in fruit, and I knew the importance of protein and its role in both muscle building and fat loss, but beyond that I never really had something that made sense to me other than simply “Eat like a responsible Adult”
And generally, this is good advice, but it’s also far from complete.
Then, in a bit of an embarrassment of riches, I found our answer in two very different sources.
Firstly, there was the research from 2023 that illustrated the amazing effects that happens when you START your fast with a large dose of protein.
[[ Your fast is much easier and you are able to build muscle, while burning fat at the same time. ]]
This was a groundbreaking piece of nutrition research out of a very prominent laboratory in the Netherlands, and it very quickly accelerated our ability to get results with Eat Stop Eat.
The next piece of research was actually a study on lions of all things…
It was in this study that I learned about the term “Naturalistic Eating”
If “Nutritive Eating” is the focus on the Calories, Proteins, Carbs and Fats in your food, then “Naturalistic eating” takes this one step further and focuses on the order of things, how you eat and when.
Plus, it goes EVEN another step further, examining what you do BEFORE or AFTER eating as well…
When it comes to Lions, Naturalistic Eating involves a period of physical activity, or a physical challenge, followed by very large protein meal, followed by a purposeful period of fasting and resting…
This was the ‘set up’ that Lions needed for optimal health. Not just the Proteins, Carbs and Fats in their diet, but the how and when of their diet AND the ‘what comes before’ and ‘what comes after’ of their diet.
A holistic, naturalist approach to nutrition.
These two studies perfectly illustrate the Anabolic Fasting approach.
Now obviously, we are not lions, but the theory behind Naturalistic Eating clearly explains why Eat Stop Eat has progressed to Anabolic Fasting and why we now START our fasts with a workout, followed by a meal that is very high in protein.
This approach to naturalistic eating works whether you are trying to build muscle or lose fat, whether you are a man or woman, 18 or 81 years old.
I’m going to explain this further in the Anabolic Fasting Diet, which will be a Free gift to anyone who has purchased the Anabolic Fasting program.
So, if you don’t have Anabolic Fasting yet, consider this a two for one, get in on Anabolic Fasting now, and get the Anabolic Fasting Diet in the next two weeks (we’re just finishing off some of the edits).
If you are already on Anabolic Fasting, please check your email for the Anabolic Fasting Diet sometime next week.
