“There is a constant problem with my love handles. No idea what to do about them. The abs I got under control more or less, but boy do I suck at getting the flabbies from my sides. Any ideas anyone?”

Yes Michael … get your body fat lower. You can’t spot target where you lose fat from. As your body fat goes lower the love handles will become less, that is all there is to it, no magic, just lose the fat.

Hi Leonardo,

Yes I have also seen benefits from a health point of view. I suffer from Asthma and My most recent tests have shown big improvements year on year. Also less pain in my joints. I honestly don’t remember when I felt this good. Obviously losing over 56lbs of fat helps in that, that is a large amount of weight my body is no longer having to struggle to move.

I also saw weight drop quickly when I first started, but in time it will slow down as you continue to lose, however there is still no better fat burner out there.

Best wishes with your own weight loss

Dave,
It’s January 23, 2010 today. I bought and read B. Pilon’s book on Sunday. I started the IF on Monday and fasted 2 days this past week. I went from 202 lb to 197.5 lb in just six days. It’s amazing. Your results are truly breathtaking as well.
I read in the EAT Stop Eat book that there are enormous additional health benefits to be expected as well, including reduced blood pressure and improved lipid levels. Have you had a chance to have those checked and compared to your pre-IF yet.
Thanks and regards,
Leonardo

Hi William,

Thanks for your comment. It certainly is no fad diet, I would not have been able to stick to it for this long if it was just a fad. I am also healthier than I have been in years, so don’t concern yourself with the negative B.S you will see out there. I am proof it works. Good luck with your own efforts this year.
Let me know how you progress.

Dave,

Huge fan – you have definitely inspired me to start an IF lifestyle. When I first heard of IF, I was excited about the concept but I was concerned that it was just another fad type diet that would not work in the long term. After finding your blog, I lost all reservations about trying IF and hope to make it a permanent lifestyle. Kudos to you Dave – you are the man!!
