[...] I’m not a big drinker, so this shouldn’t be a big deal. I am allowing myself to have coffee or tea, but not to consume any calories, so no food can be eaten outside my house. If I’m not at home, no big deal, I just won’t eat. [...]

I once fasted for 4 days while out on a solo in the wilderness (long story). Not eating and no human contact for so long made life seem so much better. I would say it made everything taste better but I had been in the wilderness hiking for 2 weeks by then so everything already tasted great. I swear, grape jam was like nectar from the gods.

If you’re trying to bulk up (beefcake), having a good layer of fat to start actually helps.

If you’re trying to get cut, eat after a workout and never less than 4 hours before, do cardio at around 165 bpm heart rate (moderate jog), and eat lots of Vit C (2000mg day) to boost metabolism.

I’ve been both ripped and cut (I prefer cut) before and I live in the states ;). BTW, being ripped will get lots of compliments from other guys, being cut gets lots of comments from the chicks.

it’s actually fasting to lose *fat*, not weight. basically to be more ripped.

Fasting, sure. But YOU are fasting to lose weight? Man, all that time in the states must be taking more of a toll on you than I thought. ;)

I’ve been following your show for a long time and am excited to hear that you’re in Austin. I live 90 miles to the east in College Station. I do a show called Zen and the Art of Triathlon and would love to meet up with you sometime to shoot the shit and talk tech and Tex-ass. I sometimes mention some of the stuff you talk about and my listeners dig it. I roll through Austin every so often, so I hope to meet you soon.

Laters,

Brett

i know this is done by many people since years, as a way to detoxify the body, and to give it a break… I heard that afterwards, you taste everything like crazy, that your taste is heavily altered by the fact of eating non stop 365 days a year, so stoping eating does the effect of resetting the body…

Good luck!
