Best Weight Loss For Men

Forget everything I’ve told you already about weight loss for men. After experimenting with intermittent fasting, I’m abandoning all my calorie counting, low fat or low carb diets and am now only going to use exercise or occasionally fasting to lose weight.

I was in the middle of converting this weight los for men website from a large traditional site to this new blog-based format when I came across this system. In fact; I had only moved a few pages, just so Google had something to index when I decided to try this radical new weight loss method out to drop a few pounds I gained over the holidays.  I have never had trouble losing weight myself (once I got motivated enough) and had a lot of experience with bodybuilding routines and exercises, so I knew if it didn’t work I’d just use another method to drop the pounds.

On this web site’s original home page I described how 5 times I lost a lot of weight fast using 5 different methods. The problem with all of those methods were that most men did not have the will power to give up food they loved or stick with a serious exercise program, myself included. Once and a while I would just pig out (usually on a Saturday) and then basically not eat the next day, to hopefully not blow my progress. It always worked.

People will tell you not to fast because your body’s metabolism will slow down and you’ll get fat. I have always had issues on Saturdays and Sundays where I don’t even get my first meal in until around 5 o clock. I don’t know, I’m just not hungry early in the day on the weekends, never have been. So I basically have been doing two mini-fasts every weekend for most of my life. It’s never caused me to gain any weight and I know exactly why.

Your body does adjust to lower food intake by slowing your metabolism down and storing extra fat. It’s a built in survival mechanism. If you’re not eating often enough it wants to store energy for later use . If you’re eating a lot it will keep your metabolism at full steam. That’s how low carb diets work. If you eat a lot of fat your body sees that you are ingesting a lot of fat and instead of storing it; it will go ahead and burn it off as it’s primary fuel source.

Back to weight loss for men and fasting. Men, when you’re trying to lose weight, your body will make adjustments but it doesn’t make them over a single day or two day change in your body.  When I was serious bodybuilder, I would eat basically no carbs for 5 days (my body had to burn fat, as I gave it no other choice) and then eat all the carbs I could get my hands on over the weekend to pump my muscles full of glycogen. I stayed ripped all the time because my body stayed in fat burning mode during the two day carb fest.

So I know from first hand experience that intermittent fasting will not cause your metabolism to slow down because your body won’t adjust that quickly. In my next post I’m going to tell you exactly how it does work.
