What the
heck is Interval Eating™ you're probably thinking! Interval Eating™ is a close
cousin of Intermittent Fasting. It’s a simple to follow nutrition lifestyle
that frees you from the burden of calorie counting; eating rabbit food like
iceberg lettuce and celery sticks and has a super attractive cost of zero
dollars. One additional bonus of Interval Eating™ if what I've revealed to you
isn't enough is that you can lose weight with this particular nutrition
lifestyle without exercising. Of course exercise will accelerate your results
but it’s completely unnecessary.
You
interested yet? How could you not be? Check it! Interval Eating™ features
structured eating windows of 2-4, 2-6, 2-8 and 1-12 in which you will consume
all of your calories. You have two days a week where you’ll have one four hour
eating window each day, two days a week with one six hour eating window each
day, two days a week with one eight hour eating window each day and one day a
week with one twelve hour eating window. You can mix it up however you like. For
example you can do one day with one six hour eating window and the next day with
one twelve hour eating window or do two consecutive days with a four hour
eating window each day. A number of my coaching clients report they prefer to
have an eight or twelve hour eating window day following the more challenging
four hour eating window days. You can also adjust the time of your eating
windows as needed. If you need to begin your eating window at noon one day and
4pm the next day that’s just fine. It’s entirely up to you. Interval Eating™
offers you what I've coined structured flexibility.
Once again you
don't have to count calories but if your goal is weight loss you will have to
exercise portion control for all of your snacks and meals within your eating
window for the day. You also shouldn't feel compelled to continue eating food
for the entire duration of your eating window. An eight hour eating window
doesn't translate to eating non stop for eight hours straight. Only eat when
you're actually hungry within the eating window. I often find that during my
eight hour eating window days I usually finish consuming all the calories I
want/need within a six hour window. I'll eat a meal, wait about two and half to
three hours and then eat once more. I've also found that even when I feel super hungry I just can't consume as much food as I want. Fasting for as little as twelve hours effectively resets your appetite.
Interval
Eating™ gets five stars from me. I love the fact that I'm not a slave to a
diet, calorie counting or financially burdened with buying super expensive diet
products or supplements. I of course don’t recommend Interval Eating™ for
pregnant or lactating women. Prior to trying Interval Eating™ or any other nutrition
program you should of course seek the advice of a competent, licensed, board certified
medical doctor to ensure you won't experience any contradictions. For more

Remember the secret to weight loss is finding and permanently utilizing a calorie restrictive nutrition program that is both appealing and appropriate for you and your lifestyle. Trying to lose weight focusing on exercise is setting yourself up for failure. The multi billion dollar fitness industry goes to great efforts to hide this fact from you. If you exercise one hour a day seven days a week that is only about four percent of your week. No one other than exercise junkies exercise seven days a week. The average is about two to three days a week of an hour or less of exercise. Nothing you do for four or even fourteen percent of your week which would be equivalent to exercising for more than three hours a day seven days a week will override the food you consume on a regular basis. Nutrition will always trump fitness in regards to weight loss!
