These are my results after one week of intermittent fasting. This is an approach I’ve never tried before in my 13 years of coaching athletes and busy adults.

But feeling tired and run down was making it hard to get workouts in.

Feeling the same? It may be a result of your metabolism changing over the years. I have felt that way since turning 42 and set out to find the answers for myself.

I have never tried intermittent fasting for myself in over a decade of coaching others to lose weigh. Recently, after seeing some unwanted weight gain and really low energy, it was time to try a completely different approach to my own health and wellness.

What is Intermittent Fasting?
Intermittent fasting is not a diet in the traditional sense; rather, it’s an eating pattern that alternates between periods of eating and fasting. The primary goal of IF is to give the body a break from constant digestion, allowing it to shift its focus to other processes, such as fat burning and cellular repair.

Understanding the 8:16 Feeding Schedule
The 8:16 feeding schedule is a form of intermittent fasting where you consume all your meals within an 8-hour window and fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day. For example, if you choose to eat between 12 PM and 8 PM, you would skip breakfast and have your first meal at noon, followed by a second meal, and possibly a snack before 8 PM.

This approach is popular due to its simplicity and flexibility. You can adjust the eating window to fit your lifestyle, whether you prefer brunch or an earlier dinner.

🌟 **Unlock Your Jiu-Jitsu Potential with EPOC!** 🌟

💪 Are you looking to elevate your sports performance? Understanding EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption) could be your game-changer!

In our latest blog post, we dive deep into how EPOC not only helps you burn calories long after your training session but also enhances recovery, builds endurance, and increases your overall fitness level. Here are some key takeaways:

🔥 **Increased Caloric Burn**: EPOC keeps your metabolism revved up post-workout, allowing you to burn more calories even while you rest!

💪 **Enhanced Recovery**: Engaging in high-intensity workouts can boost EPOC, meaning your body is working harder to recover, leading to improved muscle repair and growth.

⚡ **Improved Endurance**: The more you train at high intensities, the more efficient your body becomes at utilizing oxygen, which translates to better performance on the mats.

🥋 **Better Overall Fitness**: Incorporating EPOC-inducing exercises can lead to significant gains in your strength, endurance, and overall Jiu-Jitsu game.
