Eat Stop Eat Review – Does Brad Pilon’s Fasting Diet Really Work?

In this review I would like to outline some of the good as well as some of the bad aspects of the Eat Stop Eat diet. I am making it my goal to remain as unbiased as I can, however I must tell you that this diet is very effective.

Eat Stop Eat is the diet that started intermittent fasting and covers how you can use 1-2 fasts per week to lose fat and preserve muscle. Pilon even goes as far to state that you can gain muscle while on this fat loss diet.

I originally learned about intermittent fasting from a review my friend’s website. After looking more into it, I found that Eat Stop Eat was the diet most used by those who I respect in the fitness industry.

College Research Turned Diet Book

After Brad’s in-depth research and thorough testing, he has found intermittent fasting to be healthy and effective for fat loss. What he found during his research titled “The Metabolic Effects of Short Periods of Fasting in Humans and its Potential Application in Weight Loss” was that people did not slow down their metabolism and that fasting did not cause muscle loss all on it’s own … in fact, people didn’t lose any muscle at all and their metabolism was improved.

Like many who initially heard of Eat Stop Eat, I had my reservations.

After I finally committed to to purchasing Brad Pilon’s diet and then started to implement it I was quite impressed at not only the results but also in the ease of use.

After the first week of following this diet plan I already noticed that I was dropping fat. After 2 months I lost all the weight that I wanted.

Although you do see results quickly, they are not out of this world. This diet is more of a lifestyle change than a “lose weight fast” diet.

You can eat the foods that you eat now and still expect to lose 1-2 pounds of fat every week. That may not sound like a lot and I know there are many promises online but that is a solid number.

If you lost 1.5 pounds of fat each week, for 3 months that is 18 pounds. Go for 6 months and you’re at 36 pounds, 12 months and you could be 72 pounds lighter, which is actually a realistic number for this diet … if you’ve got that much to lose.

What I Like Most About The Diet

There are a lot of great aspects to this diet. What I really liked, since I work at a desk all day, was the option of purchasing the audio version. In order to get this you can purchase the “Ultimate Package” which includes many more extras.

None of the extras are essential, but they are nice if you don’t mind forking over the extra money.

Another aspect that I really liked and motivated me to write this review had to do with the effects that the diet has on your body with respect to boosting your HGH (growth hormone). Here’s a brief video explaining how the effects of intermittent fasting are quite similar to a good workout.

Who Is Going To Benefit From Eat Stop Eat?

I think just about everyone can benefit from Eat Stop Eat. When I first thought of writing this review I almost didn’t do it. I figured that most people coming to this site wanted to learn about workouts and getting ripped and those interested in losing weight might look up more of a nutrition focused site.

The thing is that when it comes to getting ripped, diet is key. You simply cannot expect to reach 10% or less body fat without some type of dieting. Eat Stop Eat is awesome for dropping those last 5 pounds or so of stubborn body fat.

While it is great for those who want to get super lean, it is also great for those who have a lot of weight to lose. I know of ones who have lost over 60 pounds following this diet, so it works no matter where you are at in relation to your weight loss goals.

Now For The Bad

As I said at the beginning, although I really believe in this product, I’m trying to keep from being one-sided. So let’s look to the negatives.

No product, workout or diet is perfect. Eat Stop Eat falls short in the type of foods and/or menu category. I personally kind of like this fact, but I’m sure not all will be crazy about this.

Brad does not give you exact meals to eat. I’m sure that there are many who expect a diet to tell them what to eat and when to eat it… this one does not.

Another common complaint is in regards to the workout.

There are no set workouts to follow although you are encouraged to do some type resistance training. Pilon’s argument is that this is a positive and not a negative. The truth is that you can follow your own workout plan and get great results.

You are encouraged to workout 3 times a week while following this diet. That does not mean that you need a gym membership or expensive equipment though.

Even doing pushups, squats or any other body weight workouts is plenty sufficient and certainly qualifies as resistance training.
