Thread: Anyone tried Intermittent Fasting?

Hi guys,

I am planning to do Intermittent Fasting and Natural Veganism with P90x. Don't know if it will work though. I have done my first fast and I feel revitalized. Anyone tried this as well? I got the idea from Brad Pilon's Eat Stop Eat.

I was going to but then found out that, contrary to earlier studies (around 2006) that showed it helped to resolve insulin resistance, it actually increased insulin resistance and caused raised blood sugars. A problem for diabetics like me. Also, they discovered that people weren't losing the kind of weight they initially thought they would because it was messing up the metabolism. I'm not an expert...just things I've read.

.

I read about Intermittent Fasting from Eat Stop Eat as well. Fasting for 24 hours (with only water to help you get by) sounds like a real challenge.

Hey..I'm interested with this. How does it help?
