Eat Stop Eat Book Review – What Is It And Does It Really Work?

Eat Stop Eat is a revolutionary new weight loss book from nutritionist Brad Pilon. Brad’s program is different in many ways from most typical weight loss programs. Today’s most popular diets and plans focus on things like shifting calories, counting every calorie, carbohydrate, and speck of fat that you put in your mouth. Many are complicated and difficult to follow or involve eating things you hate or cooking elaborate meals and eating 5 or 6 times a day. Eat Stop Eat is nothing of the kind.

The diet is basically a flexible intermittent fasting and strength training system. There are no complicated meals or calorie counting, and you can choose your fasting day based on your own schedule.

Most people think that fasting is counterproductive for weight loss due to the detrimental effect on the body’s metabolic rate. This is completely true for prolonged fasting. Brad’s program involves short-term fasting (just one day a week) which, in fact, has been shown to have a positive effect on weight loss. Short periods of fasting do not slow your metabolism at all and are actually very beneficial for fat loss when combined with exercise. During the fasting period it is recommended to drink plenty of water, low calorie drinks and black coffee.

The other important aspect of Eat Stop Eat is the strength training aspect. It is important that you follow the program correctly and that includes the exercise part. Simply fasting once a week without exercise won’t do you much good.

As long as you follow the diet plan correctly, which is very simple to do, you will lose weight. Brad Pilon has extensively researched this system and made it very easy to understand and follow.
