I was watching the Today Show and they had an editor for
Men’s Health on the program. He has written several books called “Eat This Not That”. His
new book has a program that made several impressive claims. You can eat for any
8 hour period and then have nothing for the next 16 hours. This he said leads not
only to quick weight loss but also to more energy and less catastrophic
disease.
This plan says you should concentrate on 8 super foods and
that this it is not an excuse to pig out. You could have large quantities of
food during the 8 hour period and can also indulge in comfort foods like pizza,
ice cream, cake and even wine. (You can have all your favorite foods).
When you get up in the morning just delay breakfast and
start eating about 10:00-11:00. One
important thing you miss with a program like this is the metabolism “jump start”
you get in the morning by eating breakfast. You can get around this by having
some coffee or tea and then walking for as little as 8 minutes. This is only
for the morning jump start and should not replace any exercise you have
planned.
On the one hand the author says you can eat all your
favorite foods but on the other hand he says this is not an excuse to pig out.
He says to make sure to concentrate on the eight “Super Foods” like nuts, legumes, yogurt, asparagus, turkey,
whole grain and dairy etc. So you can see this is not calorie restrictive only time
restrictive.
What I plan on doing at this point is to conduct my own
personal experiment. I weighed in this Monday and have begun my version of this
program. Stay tuned for as update on what I found next week.
