Eat Stop Eat is an original approach to weight loss. Written by nutritionist, Brad Pilon, Eat Stop Eat is essentially a program that incorporates intermittent fasting into your week. By fasting for one or two days a week (on your schedule), you can jumpstart your metabolism, burn fat and ultimately lose weight. Although it seems a bit unconventional, Brad Pilon goes a long way to demonstrate through scientific research how starving yourself for short periods of time can actually aid in burning fat while boosting metabolism and energy levels.

91 page program detailing the Eat Stop Eat Program.

Included in the Deluxe program:

In addition to the 91 page program included in the Basic package, you also receive a 121 page guide on the truth about building muscle and eating protein.

The Advanced program also gives you access to the “Eat Stop Eat” Advanced Audio Files and Transcripts and “Why Diets Stop Working” Audio Files and Transcripts.

Pros

• Intermittent fasting provides a way to cut down on caloric intake without having to count every calorie.
• The ebook is easy to understand and you can get started almost immediately
• Fasting is flexible: you choose which day of the week you want to fast so that it’s easy to fit into your lifestyle.
• After getting used to it, fasting may ease the urge to overeat. By not focusing on food for the day, you will feel freer to direct your energy elsewhere.
• The ebook is professional and written by Brad Pilon who is a nutritionist and former researcher for a leading supplement company.
• On days that you are not fasting, you eat normally. Your diet should include carbohydrates, fat and protein, without the need to measure or count calories or grams.
• You save money on food!

Cons

• Requires fasting, which may be difficult at first, though after a few times, it becomes easier.
• Exercise is required, so if you don’t like to exercise, this program is not for you.
• Although you are asked to do strength training, you are not given specific exercises, so you will need to find those yourself.
• Not recommended for those who are pregnant, are diabetic, have low blood pressure or are underweight.
• If you like diet plans that detail what foods you should be eating throughout the day, this may not be the right approach for you.

Does It Work?

Although a bit unconventional, Eat Stop Eat is an interesting approach to weight loss. If you are committed to fasting once or twice per week and to a weekly exercise routine, this program can work for you. If you choose to workout on days your are fasting, Mr. Pilon promises that you will have enough energy to exercise.

Although many people can successfully use this program, it is not suitable for anyone who has low blood pressure, is pregnant, has diabetes or is underweight.
