All of the following is explained in detail in the members section.

Absolutely not. You will have the tools to lose body fat whether you choose to work out or not.

Of course. I give you the guide to losing fat and maintaining health with the foods YOU enjoy. To be honest, most people quit Keto or Atkins when they start doing my diet because they realize they can enjoy carbs again while losing fat, but if you like it, keep it up.

Absolutely. The same, if not better than bro dieting. The anabolic window isn’t what we’ve all been led to believe. No need to be that guy or that girl slamming protein shakes when you walk out of the gym anymore, consuming a portion of the calories you just worked so hard to burn.

Absolutely. If you are a bodybuilder, power lifter, endurance athlete, fighter, professional sports athlete, courier, landscaper, construction worker, truck driver, etc. you will have the same energy if not better. Your daily energy is be dictated by your overall DAILY caloric intake; not your hourly intake. The reason why you may have better energy is because you won’t have to deal with getting the “itis” at in-optimal times.

While I give you the tools to lose weight as fast as you want, I recommend losing weight at a moderate pace in order to maximize fat loss while minimizing lean mass loss and not drastically slowing your metabolism down. I gained most of the weight back and start again the next year at a much better pace. Yes, you can lose muscle and or bone mass very easily as well as drastically slow down your metabolism. These things happen to me the first time I raced to lose weight and I ended up skinny fat.

While I provide a guide for a smooth transition, most people choose to go faster and tell me the first week they’re no longer hungry. The biggest problem people come to me with is that they can’t finish their food. How awesome is it to be doing a diet for fat loss when you can’t even finish your food?! It may take a few weeks for you to separate the difference between mental and physical hunger. This happens very quickly with busy people. They’re getting more work done and more productive. As for fitness, once you let go of the BS we’ve all been taught about meal timing and energy, your athletic performance will be stellar.

Just beware when you start eating carbs again, that water weight is going to come right back on as quick as it left. If you’re the type of person who likes to enjoy carbs and wants to lose fat, join The Blake Diet.

You choose the number of meals.

No. This diet is meant to fit YOUR lifestyle.

Yes! You can even listen to your friends complaining about how their cheating on their diets or failing while you eat more than them and losing weight.

Yes. There’s a lot of hoopla on the Internet about females and hormonal issues when intermittent fasting. While I have many females who are doing my diet, I’ve had zero come to me with issues. I have had females come to me with issues who were doing other intermittent fasting programs or decided they didn’t need a program; Having said that, I always found issue to be something other than intermittent fasting. Many people when starting a new diet do some irresponsible things like racing to lose weight and or cut major nutrients out of their diet either because they thought it was a good idea or did not have the knowledge they needed. If you fully follow the steps here, you will avoid these things.

On the contrary. One of the main benefits of Intermittent Fasting done right, is to no longer get hungry. When I was eating small meals spread out throughout the day, I was always starving, watching the clock, waiting for my next unsatisfying meal. I would never want to go back to that.

Most people continue this diet once they reach their goal weight because it makes managing weight so damn easy while enjoying life. And the never getting hungry part is the best thing ever. I’ve been doing this 5 years now. After reaching my goal weight I’ve gone through phases when I decided to bulk, cut again, maintain weight, etc. if you do decide that you no longer want to do the diet, you will have the tools to know how to maintain your weight.

No. While calorie counting isn’t necessary, it is recommended for at least a couple weeks to help you find all the holes in your diet.

You are going to be consuming the same nutrients for your goals, you would be on any other good diet. It does not have to be more expensive. Once you understand how to fit all the treats you’ve been missing into your diet while losing weight, you may start buying a bunch of those treats in addition to the staple foods but that’s all up to you.

It has so many less restrictions than other Intermittent Fasting programs and diets in general. Most people tell me it’s the most enjoyable diet they’ve ever done and have continued to do it once they’ve reached their goal weight.
