Welcome to the Intermittent Fasting Guide.
The aims of this website are:
1. To be an advocate for Intermittent Fasting.
2. To provide a comprehensive guide for anyone considering Intermittent Fasting.
3. To help motivate and lead you the reader on your own Intermittent Fasting adventure.
Ultimately, it will be for you to judge whether I achieve these aims, but I shall make my articles as thorough, clear and hopefully entertaining as possible and let the cards lie where they land.
So who am I am why do I believe that your time will be well invested here?
My name is Darren Marshall and I have been on a diet journey for 35 years.
I first became over-weight when I was five years old, after starting primary school whilst still suffering from undiagnosed partial hearing. I was very shy and must have spent more time eating than playing. I gained a stone (6.5kg / 14 pounds) every year of my life up until I was 16. I had been trying to diet since I was 12 but nothing had worked. By the time I neared 18 I had transformed into a lean 12 stone (78kg / 168 pounds) through a clean low fat diet, high protein diet and a very serious weight training / bodybuilding regime.
My love affair with the iron started when I was 12 (after my brother started weight training and I saw his Flex magazine) and was cemented at 16 / 17 when the diet, combined with the consistent hardcore training resulted in me losing 6 stone (32.5kg / 84 pounds) in less than six months.
After that I went on to study Nutrition, Physiology & Biochemistry at university and after 27 of weight training I finally competed in 2013 at the UKBFF North show.
I will always lift, not just because I love it but because it keeps me healthy - or at least far healthier than I would be without lifting. I hope I'm preaching to the converted when I tell you that weight training is the single most beneficial form of exercise there is. This isn't just my opinion, there are many scientific studies that support my position, but I'll leave that for another day.
Whatever your reasons for looking up this website, I truly hope you achieve whatever goals you have set for yourself. You have set some SMART goals, right? I'll cover these in another post in more detail but please make sure you set short and longer term goals that are realistic, measurable (i.e. 2 pounds loss) and time-constrained (i.e. in one week). Firming up your goals (and re-committing to them daily) will massively improve your results.
