While I’m still working on finishing up the 2 Meal Solution version for the Kindle, I realized that I never really defined the “2 Meal” philosophy or manifesto (way cooler word) here on the IF Life.
Even before starting this site way back in late 2007/early 2008, I’ve always liked talking about intermittent fasting (hence the whole “IF” Life name and all). …
I’m going to start a fun little Q&A series around here called “Dear Mike”, sort of like “Dear Abby” except all things IF/2 Meal related (sadly no relationship advice, as I may tell you to intermittent fast from your significant other…wait, that may be a best selling book idea!).
Today is a pretty common one. I get asked a lot (and see it discussed much on the internet) about:
“What is OK …
So I was making my way around the internet (as I do on occasion), when I came across a discussion on skipping breakfast…and you know how much I like to jump into those!
In the comments it was the same old lines of “starvation mode”, “crashing metabolism”, “lose all your muscle” and the other usual mainstream fear based reactions that come with the thought of not eating all day (of course …
Here it is a Friday morning and I was planning on releasing some breafast/heart disease article (it will come out next week instead), but inspiration hit on another more “fun” topic. So here it goes.
I woke up this morning to see it was 20 something degrees and actually (briefly…like done in 5 minutes) snowing. Hey it’s a big deal for people in Atlanta, even if I’m originally from Boston and …
I always joke that I made only one New Years resolution that I’ve kept…and it was to stop making New Year’s resolutions. However I really do have some great plans for 2012 and wanted to share them with everyone (helps keep me accountable and motivated too).
No this isn’t about eating better or even working out, as I make those “daily resolutions”. I’m going to use this time of year to …
Ho…Ho…Uh Oh
It’s that time of year again. The holiday season is upon us (Christmas, New Years, etc), and so is the time of year many seem to pack on some extra pounds.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
It is possible to actually enjoy the many holiday parties and still maintain your weight.
Hey I’ll be the first one to tell you …
I’ve come to remember a simple motto I reflect on more often now, and one I would like to share with you. Something I think we both can easily remember and put into practice.
I likely didn’t invent it, and can’t remember where I may have heard it in the past (could be a combination of sayings)…but it’s simple and for me …
Get Fit Vegas Style
What is your fitness lifestyle like? What do you do each day to help improve it? Do you make things more complicated than they need to be? Are you just hopping from one program to the next with nothing to show from them in the long run?
I’m here to change that.
Sustainable, intense and consistent…the 3 keys to any …
I have never been a morning person. As a kid I hated getting up too early to go play hockey (then again what kid did like being dragged out of bed to an ice rink at 6am?).
Same thing in high school, never liked those AM practices or even games on the weekend before noon.
I would also never like working out in the …
My general lifestyle theme for the last decade (and on this blog) has been one of practicing more simplicity in all aspects of my life.
Not because I’m trying to neglect myself of anything (that’s not that point of a simple lifestyle), but rather quite the opposite. It is because of what a more simple life can bring in return as far as …
