I personally think intermittent fasting is a terrible idea. Food is fuel. Your body needs it. Maybe I'm being closed minded, but I eat when I am hungry, especially if i am working out.

I like the kettlebell stuff alright. So long as you get someone who knows the deal to teach you.


Preach. I have a great KB instructor who's all about proper form and heavier weights. I find the possibility that I may literally brain myself and/or my cat if I don't pay attention to good form to be a great motivator. People who brag about Rhabdo deserve to die from Rhabdo as far as I'm concerned.

As far as IF goes, there are two dudes that write extensively about this, Brad Pilon and Martin Berkhan. Check 'em out. The protocol isn't as insane as it sounds, and I follow Berkhan's advice that women do best with shorter, 14-16 hour fasting periods, which basically amounts to skipping breakfast. I'm not aiming to get below 17-18% body fat; I think the wiry, shredded look looks awful on women.
