How Does Eat Stop Eat Diet Work

By Eric Foreman

Heard of the new fasting for weight loss approach called Eat Stop Eat? Looking for a more clearer insight as to what it does and how it works? Keep reading further to get a more detailed review on Brad Pilon's flexible eating approach for fat loss.

Intermittent fasting has existed for a long period of time. In fact, fasting has its own special place in many religions as well. How does Eat Stop Eat fit into all this?

Do you know who came up with the "eat 5 to 6 meals a day" approach? It was called the "bodybuilders secret" since bodybuilders used to eat more frequently to manage high calorie intakes to maintain muscle mass. It was easy for them since they needed to go over 3000 calories, but imagine splitting a 1600 calorie diet to 5 meals? The Eat Stop Eat diet breaks this law and you'll get more theory about this proof in the book.

The health and fitness industry took advantage of this system by making a rule that the only way to lose fat fast is by eating frequently or your body falls into what is called "the starvation mode".

Think about it. If you don't feed your body for two 24 hour periods per week, you are saving your body of 3500 to 4000 calories per week. You need to burn 3500 calories to remove 1 pound of fat, and when you follow the ESE approach, you automatically lose one pound of fat every week! This approach by Eat stop eat has got pretty popular especially after the book kills the theory about starvation mode and eat frequently.

To make Eat Stop Eat work in favor of your fat loss goals, all you have to do is follow at least 3 days of high resistance strength training workouts. This stimulates muscle growth and Brad Pilon has proven how diet has no connection with muscle growth.

Yet there is one special advantage to following the Eat Stop Eat diet. You don't have to count calories anymore. You don't have to fear the clock waiting every 3 hours to feed your belly. You don't have to be afraid of carbs anymore! You can eat moderately the way you want and still lose the fat as long as you follow strength training and one 24 hour fasting session every week!
