Restjes, daar trokken mijn huisgenoten de neus voor op. En dat betekende dat ik elke lunch een makkie had. Ja, het Paleoleven was een breeze. In het weekend zondigen met zelfgebakken taartjes en andere hapjes, zo viel ik niet teveel af en plukte toch alle voordelen van het paleoleven. Nu er hier nog 3 andere oer-hongerigen rondlopen is het andere koek, want al aan tafel begint het gevecht tussen meteen opeten en bewaren voor de lunch van de volgende dag. Standaard werden er in huize Hoek al flinke pannen met groente bereid (die 200 gram per persoon, daar lachen wij om), maar tegenwoordig  komen echt alleen nog onze 4, 5 en 6 liter pannen uit de kast. Het kleine pannetje, wat voorheen voor de rijst bestemd was staat al weken te vereenzamen. Heb ik net een ruime 1,5e kilo snijbonen (met dank aan de tuin van tante Miriam) gemaakt met een lekker tomaten/uien/Italiaanse kruiden en olijfolie sausje en daarbij wildernisburgers (www.wildernisvlees.nl), is ineens de bodem van de pan alweer in zicht. Nou ja, af en toe eens vasten is ook heel erg “oer” en goed voor het DNA herstel begrijp ik: http://www.njamworld.com/2010/01/27/intermittent-fasting-if/ [...] [...] Vroeger had ik het makkelijk als part-time oerdiëter.

I was actually aware of Martin and featured him in my weight loss series last year, but had not remembered to come back and add him to this earlier post (which I wrote before I'd heard of him). It's helpful to have mention of him here for anyone using this post as a reference now, so thank you. Thanks for the comment.

I've worked with him and he knows his stuff. You can google his name for his website, as I don't know if you want me to post it here.

It's good to see more evidence that it is perfectly possible to build muscle and continue working out hard while following an IF approach to food. I still find so many people who say that it can't be possible to achieve decent results when using IF (other than physique results) but there is definitely a growing body of real-life experience showing the opposite. Look out for next weekend's Powerlifting Progress (2010 Week 24) for some exciting squat news! Thanks for that Mike.

Firstly, I do IF on a daily basis. I consider my approach the way I would imagine a cave woman in the 21st century would do IF. However, I had to become that cave woman by working my way up to doing a 20 hour fast followed by a 4 hour eating window. So, I just began eating breakfast at a progrssively later time each day. Eventually I was able to go until 3:00 before eating my fast- breaking meal of the day. Imagine a cave woman going for a long period of time without eating then "Moogie" comes home with a big catch. She no doubt is going to eat with the idea that she does not know when she will ever eat again. Fill up and do not worry about over eating. Plus my diet consists of low carb foods. So, even if I think I am overeating for that meal, generally I am quite full and do not feel like eating for the remainder of the day. Regardless, I can eat more if I want as long as it is within that 4 hour window. I rarely eat more, I just don't want anything. I do eat dinner which is usually a small amount in comparison to "breakfast". Another reason I include fats during my fasting perios is the ketogenic benefits of fasting are enhanced, especially by the MCT oil. I have made alterations over the time that I began doing this. As a cave woman, she does not fast on purpose, this is just her normal eating lifestyle so changes can occur from time to time. Therefore I began adding MCT oil and heavy whipping cream to my coffee even while fasting. Also there are at least 3 days a week where I choose to eat one meal instead of 2. For me the most important meal of the day is supper because that is family time. So, I must have supper regardless of how I eat throught the day. Also I consider my eating window as preparation of beginning my new fast instead of breaking a fast. I want to emphasize that I eat very healthy, cave woman, meals. My bloodwork has been pretty good...doctor is pleased and is satisfied with my approach. Thanx, Mary Ammi, great question! Firstly, I do IF on a daily basis.

I've done a couple of weeks of IF in the format of 24 hours fasting once a week (so nothing between two evening meals). With the great success that you've had with your weight loss it would be interesting to know whether you've taken a structured or ad-hoc approach to IF and if it's structured then whether you've done 16 hour, 24 hour or some other length period fasts (and how often).
