Links to things I mentioned in the video:
My Plan – this page on my site goes over in detail what worked for me, a look at what my daily life is like and some FAQs about intermittent fasting.
Lean Gains – This is where I first learned about the idea of Intermittent Fasting. It’s a blog written by Martin Berkhan who is a nutritional consultant, magazine writer and personal trainer. It hasn’t been updated since December 2016, but there’s a lot of good information there otherwise. Note: the F-Bomb gets thrown around a bit in his blog, just so you’re aware.
The 4 Hour Body
Crossfit – a style of workout that I really enjoyed at first, but I just couldn’t consistently do over a long stretch of time. I lasted 1 month doing the WOD (Workout of the Day) 3 days on, 1 off.
Starting Strength – The best resource I have found about powerlifting and proper technique, built by Mark Rippetoe. I’d suggest getting a coach to help you out with form if you do decide to try out powerlifting. I was stubborn, tried to teach myself, and ended up with a deadlift injury that took me out of the powerlifting game for a long time.
The Facebook photo that started it all:
A Trendline Graph of My Weightloss and Maintenance from 2015-Present (as of this writing).
*Note: I’m currently entering into another phase of loss. I’d like to get another 10 pounds off so I can be officially in the “Normal weight” range for BMI (154 is the magic number where I enter into that range, and I’d like to be a few pounds below that so I have a buffer. )
2025 Update: I lost down to 142 by October 2018. I decided to stop losing and maintain in the 140s from there on out. If my weight goes into the low 150s, I go back into weight loss mode to get back into the 140s.
