That is awesome! I love when a tweak works and that makes perfect sense!

I think the most fascinating thing I have learned is that Dr. Naiman is saying that high intensity exercise takes only a few minutes to empty the body's glycogen stores, which is what people are trying to do when they are fasting.

So, you can sit around fasting all day, or you can do a few minutes of intensive exercises. He demonstrates these all the time, doing things like push ups, pull ups, and squats to failure (until you can't do more).

I've been doing these (I can't do a pull up, but I use the bars on my vibration plate to pull myself up from sitting), and push ups on the couch, and squats holding onto the banister. It really makes a difference! I am seeing my weight loss pick up, even though I am doing baby versions of these exercises (I'm having a shoulder issue, but I have found I can do these).

Thanks for commenting!
