Intermittent Fasting - Will it work for me?

Food is a very important part of my life. Without the joy of food, I don't know what the purpose of my life would be other than family.

Yet, food is the reason I have to spend more on workouts, equipment and programs to lose the weight I gain FROM FOOD.

This thought process has put a lot of things into perspective for me.
It's a choice that I have accepted for myself. I eat, and I burn.

Yet, I recently came across an interesting article about intermittent fasting lifestyle. You deprive yourself of food for a certain period of time to let your body start pulling fat that is stored inside the body.

Then you enjoy the food for the rest of the given hours.

I was confused on the many different approaches to intermittent fasting, the most popular being LeanGains and Eat Stop Eat.

LeanGains vs Eat Stop Eat


LeanGains looked extremely promising, with all the before & after photos of sooo many individuals. It's very motivational to see those success stories and visualize the same for yourself, but I don't see it fitting my lifestyle.

I have always hated watching what I eat. I can control in moderation but counting calories and watching the macros - protein, carbs & fat?

Not my cup of tea. Very sorry.

Eat Stop Eat on the other hand is a very carefree approach. Brad Pilon builds it upto be like going to Disneyland. He claims not to over complicate anything and just get on with the fasting lifestyle.

Perform 24 hour fasts, once or twice a week and you are golden. OF course, you have to moderate yourself the rest of the days but still, it looks more relaxed and family friendly compared to LeanGains.

I guess LeanGains would be the best bet for someone looking to lose weight for professional purposes, like Bodybuilding, Acting, Modelling etc... It's the life that fits the lifestyle.

So, here I am, going to start my quest to lose weight with intermittent fasting. Wish me luck!
