I’m considering trying the “Fat Fast Experiment” (Strength Training, Bodybuilding & Online Supplement Store - T NATION). However, I don’t plan to run it for the 4 weeks in a row. Alternatively, over 5 weeks, I will have a week on the plan followed by a week off the plan (3 cycles on, 2 cycles off). After 5 weeks I will re-assess where I’m at.
How is this approach? Should I bother with the cycling or simply stick with the diet for its planned duration?
Also, during my “off” weeks, I will be maintaining my current fat-loss diet which is working, but slowy.
Well, when I’ve tried the diet I’ve been strictly on it during the workweek and then take the weekend off. During the weekend I eat pretty decently with occasional trips to Wendy’s :-)… anyhow, first time I was on it for about two weeks maybe three weeks and went down from 217 to 206. I stayed off for about two months and maintained around 207. I just got back on it and have gone down from 210 to 205 within my first week and a half. The thing definitely works… Try the cycling and see how it works. This thing works so well I think you’ll see good results no matter which approach you try
