Eat More Food, Store Less Fat?

Hey Guys and Gals!

I recently conducted an interview with intermittent fasting and fat loss nutrition consultant Martin Berkhan, which'll be available to all of you shortly.  Really, you aren't going to want to miss this one.

Your head will spin when you read about his approach to nutrition- don't eat breakfast, eat a lot later in the day, yes you can include cheesecake, yes you'll lose a ton of fat!

Wait, what?

"I though breakfast was the most important meal of the day...?  I can eat cheesecake and not end up looking like a manatee?  Get out!"

Well, I'm no doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, and I can tell you that I'm getting less and less convinced that our nutrition "guru's" and "experts" know what the hell they're talking about.

Tangent:

Perhaps I'm being too cynical, but not only am I thinkin' Arby's, but I'm thinking that you're going to have a hard time convincing me that eating a processed "whole-wheat" cracker is healthier than eating a natural, wholesome egg or some meat.  As people start gaining more weight dietitians recommend MORE carbs (grains, cereals, and breads) and LESS protein (lean meat, chicken, turkey, eggs, milk) and you know what?  As a society, we've never been more unhealthy or out of shape.

Then again, I am on the Special K diet, use the "Shake Weight" as my sole form of exercise, and rock my totally cool Sketchers shoes.

Ya, great advice- "Don't workout!  Just buy these shoes!"

I digress.

So, keep your eyes, and mind, open for my interview with Martin over the next day or so, but in the meantime, head over to his website and browse some of his articles, including his most recent one, "The Marshmallow Test ".

You'll really start to question everything you thought you knew about how to eat to optimally lose fat!  And before you get too heated and think this guys off his rocker, read "A Letter from YOUR Belly Fat!".

If that post applies to you then maybe having an open mind and trying a different approach is what'll really help you make some progress!  Hell, invest in a month of Martins services; it's very reasonably priced, and what've you got to lose?  (well, aside from Mr. Belly Fat.  You know, the guy/gal hangin' over your belt buckle.)
