Intermittent fasting for life

    If you have been an avid reader on fitness materials for the past 6 months or so you must have came across the topic of intermittent fasting (IF). It simply means fasting for an extended period of time. The concept is not entirely new but the craze bloomed recently. The fuss came to my knowledge after reading John Berardi's 8 month self experiment on IF. He got tremendous results. He also enjoyed it. He dropped his bodyfat level from a reasonably lean 10% bodyfat to a very very lean 4% bodyfat. For further detail, click here.The 32-36 hour fast, the 24 hour fast, 16/8 method, and the warrior diet are among the well known ones. A few years back i had lived on warrior diet for about 5 months. I lost alot of fat, but i could have done better if i monitored my nutrition accordingly and followed a better training method. And considering i am an endo-mesomorph, i should have done cardio as well.

    But recently John Romaniello, an expert on fat loss, together with Dan Go, also a fat loss guru, came up with a fat loss nutrition program that incorporates IF called Fat Loss Forever (FLF). As the name implies, this program is not a "diet"program where you go on for 3 weeks or 6 weeks or 12 weeks but it shall be committed as a lifestyle. It is called habit. Mark the word, HABIT. No one is going anywhere without it. As a sucker for good programs and not to mention im a huge fan of his work, of course i bought it! I am going to start this Monday. Currently im on a program called Rampage 2.0, written by Jason Ferruggia. Im on my final phase and will be finishing it in 3 weeks. After that i plan to start a  6 week fat loss training program also written by John Romaniello called Final Phase Fat Loss (FPFL). Money well spent. Boo-yeah.
