Experiments with Intermittent Fasting →
John Berardi does a comprehensive self experiment with IF:
I think there are four main takeaways that readers of this book should come away with.
- Trial fasting is a great way to practice managing hunger. This is an essential skill for anyone who wants to get in shape and stay healthy and fit.
- More regular fasting isn’t objectively better for losing body fat. While my IF experiments worked quite well, the intermittent fasting approach (bigger meals, less frequently) didn’t produce better fat loss than a more conventional diet approach (smaller meals, more frequently) might have.
- More regular fasting did make it easier to maintain a lower body fat percentage. Intermittent fasting isn’t easy. However, I did find that using this approach made it easier for me to maintain a low body weight and a very low body fat percentage vs. more conventional diets.
- Intermittent fasting can work but it’s not for everyone, nor does it need to be. In the end, IF is just one approach, among many effective ones, for improving health, performance, and body composition.

- Fat Head: You don’t think most Americans understood the guidelines you’ve been putting out every five years starting in 1980?
- USDA: Of course not. Look at the rise we’ve seen in obesity and diabetes since then. Obviously, people weren’t following our guidelines.
- Fat Head: And instead of concluding that your guidelines were wrong, you decided the real problem is that the average American is stupid?
- USDA: I’m afraid that’s– why are you banging your head on my desk?

Crossfit did not invent exercise, they just turned it into Starbucks…overpriced, burnt and frequented by yuppies.
The only person who’s known you longer than your mom is YOU. And so even though you can dish out advice, sometimes your subconscious residual self image–that is, your view of yourself and specifically who you USED to be–is so strong that it supersedes your conscious belief in your own advice.
