Is it worth it?
You've probably done the losing weight part before. The scale moved, and then you looked in the mirror and saw a smaller, softer version of yourself, with less to show for the effort than you hoped. That's the itch this is aimed at. Not weight loss exactly, but changing your shape, keeping the muscle while the fat comes off. Brad Pilon is a known name in intermittent fasting. He wrote Eat Stop Eat, which has been around since the late 2000s and is basically the once or twice weekly 24 hour fast. This is his version of pairing that fasting structure with lifting over a 12 week block. Worth being straight about the promise. Gaining muscle while losing fat is a real thing, but it happens most reliably for people new to lifting, returning after a layoff, or carrying a decent amount of fat. If you're already lean and training hard, both at once is slow going. The page says it's based on peer reviewed research from Maastricht University but doesn't name the study, so you can't check that claim before paying. What you're buying is a structure: when to eat, when to fast, when to train, for twelve weeks. If you already track protein and lift consistently, there may be little new here. If you don't, the structure is the point.
Pros
- Written by the Eat Stop Eat author, not an anonymous brand
- One off payment, no monthly rebill
- Fasting cuts down decisions and meal prep for a lot of people
- Gives you a finite 12 week block rather than an open ended diet
Cons
- Page never states the price, the format, the page count or how it's delivered
- Cites a Maastricht University study but gives no reference you can look up
- Useless without regular access to weights and the time to train
- Skipping meals doesn't suit everyone, and the page doesn't say who should avoid it
What you get
A downloadable report setting out the Anabolic Fasting Protocol: a 12 week plan combining a specific intermittent fasting schedule with resistance training, built on Brad Pilon's Eat Stop Eat approach. The page describes it as a system of diet and workout tweaks rather than a meal plan or an app. Format, page count and any bonuses aren't spelled out before you buy.
Before you buy
- Confirm you can realistically lift 3 or 4 times a week for three months, since the diet half alone won't do it
- Read the refund terms on the checkout page before paying, and note the window
- If you're pregnant, diabetic, on medication timed to meals, or have any history of disordered eating, talk to a doctor before taking on a fasting protocol
Who it suits
Someone who has dieted down before and ended up smaller but soft, who can train with weights consistently and wants a set structure for the next twelve weeks. Skip it if you already lift and track your protein, or if you can't train regularly.
