"I would strongly recommend this plan to anyone looking to lose weight!"


Dear Brad,

I started the Eat Stop Eat diet three months ago and have lost over 30 pounds! When I first read about the idea of fasting, I thought it would be really hard, especially considering I was always taught to eat “three square meals” a day.

The first couple fasting days were difficult, bordering on depressing. The thought of not eating to someone who has consistently been an overeater is not a soothing one. However, after each day, I felt a greater sense of accomplishment and more of a disconnect from the thing I thought I could not do without.

Fasting has become a part of my normal life. Perhaps one of the greatest things about the Eat Stop Eat diet is that it is very flexible. If you are going on vacation, that’s ok! Having tried other diets, such as low carb, eating away from home generally meant “cheating” and would require extra work to recover from any weight gain. With this diet, you can reset your fast days to before and after. You can also be flexible with which meals you choose to skip. You can eat breakfast and then fast the rest of the day, which can keep you from feeling completely deprived.

I would strongly recommend this plan to anyone looking to lose weight!

"I’ve been fasting using EatStopEat since right before the Xmas holidays and man did it make a difference.."


Brad:

I’ve been fasting using EatStopEat since right before the Xmas
holidays and man did it make a difference.

I had been doing resistance training since last May, but still eating poorly. I made slow gains, but when I added fasting the progress picked up tremendously and suddenly in a matter of a couple of months I’m about half way to where I need to be.

I’ve gotten off a couple of medications, my BP has come way down, and most particularly, the fasting has radically altered my appetite and given me real high-resolution, i.e., I don’t seem to crave food when I’m not particularly hungry. And, a bit of hunger has actually become a pleasant feeling rather than a gnawing feeling.

"I have finally lost the few lingering pounds that were stopping me from feeling really good about myself."


Eat Stop Eat has been an absolute revelation! After years of trying to follow all the generally accepted 'rules' for body fat loss, inconsistent as they are, I found I had hit a plateau, or really a brick wall, where I felt I was doing all I 'should' be doing but just not getting the awesome results I'd like.

I was getting OK results, don't get me wrong, but I wanted to look as fit as I felt, which just wasn't happening! I was also getting sick and tired of trying to eat all the bloody time in order to achieve results that were not forthcoming. As soon as I read Eat Stop Eat I realized how crazy the concept of eating all the time is, but how vested financial interests make it accepted and therefore truth.

I started pretty much straight away and really enjoyed, (yes, enjoyed!) my first fast! I felt great, loads of energy, loads of extra time - I got so much done it was crazy.

OK now Down to the results - I have finally lost the few lingering pounds that were stopping me from feeling really good about myself. I've literally been feeling like I've been taking a supplement that actually works, although I'm not taking anything at all (I have tried a good many and nothing has ever felt like its done anything except take my cash and flush it down the drain...).
I've gained muscle definition like never before and the layer of body fat that was covering it all has been noticeably disappearing! I am looking forward to getting down to under 140 pounds over the next couple of months - a full 14 pounds off my previous 'good' weight of 155 pounds!!

I really didn't think I'd ever be there, but now it really is on the horizon! And all I have to do is nothing, not bad, eh?

So thanks Brad, for freeing me from OCE! And of course, for freeing me of those extra pounds!

"Eat Stop Eat it is easy, ridiculously easy!"


Hey Brad,

I’m a trainer and deal with more false information each day than I thought I ever would in a month. One such “truth” is that people just cannot gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. Not only is it possible, I’ve done it with people for years now, with Eat Stop Eat it is easy, ridiculously easy. One female client of mine had hit a plateau for about three months. She was only dropping about a pound each of those months and her strength was going up ever so slowly. She agreed to try Eat Stop Eat, eat until satisfied when she was eating and to get rid of the after workout shake. The next month she lost five pounds and all of her lifts went up rather steadily again. After measuring her body composition she in fact gained two pounds of muscle, making the fat loss actually seven pounds. Now whether that was completely accurate I don’t know, but I do know that she now gets compliments like crazy about how lean she looks.

Oh, and by the way, when she hit her plateau she already could see the outline of her abs when she flexed. Now she sees all of them, and you know how slow it can be to make progress when one is already very lean.

Thanks,

"I've fasted twice a week for the last 6 weeks, and I've taken off 15 pounds! What's been truly remarkable, though, is how easy it has been."


Hi Brad,

First, it's amazing how effective this has been for me. I have struggled for years to get my weight down. Sometimes it worked (for a while), but most times I fell off, and stayed off. I'd get frustrated and upset, and put on more weight than I took off.

Eat Stop Eat is different, though, and it's been remarkable. I've fasted twice a week for the last 6 weeks, and I've taken off 15 pounds! What's been truly remarkable, though, is how easy it has been. On eating days, I try not to overdo it, and try to make decent decisions about what I'm eating. On fasting days, there are no decisions to be made - just don't eat.

I have between 15-20 more pounds to lose, and I am absolutely certain that I will get there with this program. And, I'm completely confident that I will be able to maintain my desired weight (210-215) for the rest of my life. So, thank you for opening my eyes to this simple yet effective idea.

Also, I thought you might like to hear this. 4 months ago I went to the doc. I weighed 253 on their scale, and my total cholesterol was 268 (not good). The doc gave me 4 months to take off some weight, and get my cholesterol retested. I went back this past Friday. My weight was down to 231 (a 22-pound drop), and my cholesterol was down to 223! I know that I've got you to thank for a good portion of that, so I wanted you to hear of the good news.
