Intermittent Fasting, with Brad Pilon from Eat, Stop, Eat
If you are looking for an easy way to lose weight, without losing muscle, then Intermittent Fasting could be the answer.
What started as a trend amongst bodybuilders, has since become mainstream and is now used by many everyday dads as their preferred weight-loss or weight-maintenance strategy.
The concept is simple. Instead of having to follow a strict diet and count your calories each day, you simply refrain from eating for set periods during the week.
Brad Pilon is recognised as a leader in this area. He has done a lot of scientific research into Intermittent Fasting and wrote the original book on the topic, called Eat, Stop, Eat.
Brad is a dad himself and understands the real-life challenges of dieting. In this interview, he shares his own experience of Intermittent Fasting and offers practical guidance on how and why it can be an easy and effective option for busy dads who want to shed a bit of weight.
