Over the course of the next week you’re probably going to hear a LOT about Intermittent Fasting (IF) and the new Fat Loss Forever Program. You might be wondering if it’s “legit” or if it will work for you, so I filmed a quick video this past weekend with the creator of the program John Romaniello.
In today’s video we touch briefly on why…
It’s not necessary to eat breakfast when you wake up in order to burn fat and keep a healthy metabolism
It’s ok to eat before bed and have carbs late at night when you’re trying to lose weight
You don’t have to eat 5 or 6 times a day to keep your metabolism cranking
I actually did my own personal experiment over the last year following the Intermittent Fasting (IF) protocol. I’ll be posting my before and after pics here on the blog in the next few days so you can check out my results. I think you’ll be a bit shocked at these photos when I post them.
In the meantime, you can read more about how IF works by reading the article Roman wrote at this website:

Hi – I go to the gym right when I wake up given I work long days at work. So I’m in the gym at 4:30am. Does this mean I can’t use the plan or that I have to make my last meal at like 5pm the day before?
Great Q Shawn…I’ve had this scenario in my life many times over the last year of practicing IF. All you have to do is make sure to consume 10 grams of amino acids directly before and after training and you’ll be all set.
We also recommend you consider taking krill oil before and after along with 5 – 10 grams of aminos every 3 or 4 hours during the fast as well.
I’ll be posting a complete detailed fasting overview on the blog tomorrow that will address this question and many more. You’ll also see my “before and after” case study I did on myself.
Just watch your inbox and you’ll get all the details.
I am so glad to hear this… I have gained weight, trying to get those meals in!! I sure got strong doing the body for life challenge, but part of me always knew, i was putting down too many calories eating that often. Thanks for the research!
