Eat Stop Eat is a revolutionary new weight loss book from nutritionist Brad Pilon. Brad’s program is different in many ways than most typical weight loss programs. The most popular diets and plans today focus on things like calorie shifting, counting every calorie, carbohydrate, and particle 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 none of that.

The diet is basically a system of flexible intermittent fasting and strength training. There are no complicated meals or calorie counting, and you can choose your fasting day around 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 long-term fasting. Brad’s program involves short-term fasting (just one day a week) which has actually been shown to have a positive effect on weight loss. Aside from fasting, the metabolism does not slow down at all, and in fact, periods are 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 exercising won’t do much for you.

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