Peter Paulson - Intermittent Fasting 101: A Simple Guide to Losing Fat, Building Muscle and Becoming an Alpha Male

Intermittent Fasting is a style of eating and an incredibly effective way to achieve a huge variety of fitness and health goals. It doesnt matter if you want to lose fat, build muscle, increase intelligence, increase testosterone, live longer or just save time and money- Intermittent Fasting will ensure you achieve it.

I prefer to not classify intermittent fasting as a diet, but rather a lifestyle. You will understand why as you read through this book.

Intermittent fasting (IF) is the practice of switching back and forth between predetermined periods in which you eat and periods in which you dont eat. When most people hear this concept they disregard it and assume it sounds to complex or that they wouldnt be able to manage it. Some of the common things I often hear are:

What the hell not eating? I will go into starvation mode!

But I have to keep my metabolic fire stoked and burning to lose fat!

Youre stupid Peter there is no way thats healthy.

However these people forget that every single day of their lives they have been practicing intermittent fasting on some level. What do I mean by this? Well, when you sleep you fast and when youre awake you eat this is intermittent fasting. These people are often usually undereducated on the topic and havent studied just how beneficial it is.

The fitness industries approach to IF just takes this further by increasing the window of fasting and decreasing the window of eating. At its core level the practice of intermittent fasting is very simple - do not let this fool you though as once you explore the area deeper it becomes highly complex. In this book I will take the complex data, scientific results and theories and break it all down into a simple, easy to understand format.

In the past few years IF has become increasing popular gaining raving endorsements from bodybuilders, models, athletes and celebrities such as Hugh Jackman and Beyonc. This explosion in popularity of IF is in no way surprising as once you start your IF journey you will see an incredible array of results.

The increasing popularity of IF is, in my mind, due to two main factors:

- The extensive list of powerful benefits it delivers

And

- The ease of which it can be adopted and maintained.

This is crucial as it has been shown that most diets and dieters fail because of two main barriers . These barriers are the complexity of managing a diet and the time they take to show results. How often have you heard someone wondering if eating this food will negatively affect my diet or Ive been on diet XYZ for 2 weeks now and Im not seeing the results I want!

Intermittent fasting knocks clean through these barriers with its simple, easy to follow procedures and its speed of results.

The concept of IF goes against much of what the fitness and health industry has long believed but as this book will detail just because something is popular and repeated by everyone and their grandmas it doesnt mean its true.
