Cool article Martin, as usual

This is very interesting coming from someone with a website (with a large following, I guess) based on a single theme. What would it take for you to give up Intermittent Fasting, given that it fit so well for you immediately? Is there any disadvantage you can identify? Mood maybe?

Your work consistently stacks up with the highest-quality insights and guidance available anywhere for fitness and for life. Thanks for the great stuff, happy new year.

Amazing topic you've just brought up, especially with new year's so close...I always have the problem to find balance between persistence and adaptability. I think, adaptability must be PART of your persistence in any given thing/goal. But like I said, it's so hard to juggle because very often I feel like I'm giving up when I'm in reality adapting myself to new "results"... Anyways, I really like your thoughts on this topic. Awesome post.

Great post, & great insight that I know has allowed you to help your clients more.

There should be a distinction between perseverance & stubbornness, between a strong will & a "strong won't". But the young guys are taken with the "never quit" mentality; maybe it'll take reaching the same level of desperation that you felt at the end of your modeling days before they change their game plan too.

The sunken cost fallacy can be quite useful at times. It helps me overcome the little moments of weakness that I guess everyone experiences, such as when I have to force myself out of bed at half past six after four or five hours of sleep to get to the gym knowing that after the gym I will have to stay focused and alert for the next sixteen hours that I will be sitting behind my office desk :-).

Fantastic as always. You are definitely putting out some of the highest quality stuff on the internet right now. This is about the only blog I carefully read these days.

I'd like to hear more on your opinions on Jack Kruse as well as more on training.
Thanks and a happy new year!

Martin,

I really enjoy your articles, and many of the words you have written have genuinely effected and improved my life. Thank you.

I found your protocol this year, therefor this has been my first LG 'festive season'. Usually, by about the 3rd of 4th day of eating like I'm never going to eat again and drinking like I've just discovered beer - the body gets upset and starts turning on me.

Not. This. Time.

I remember last Christmas... The lead up, trying to diet as hard as possible, smashing in extra cardio sessions just desperately trying to carve out a big enough deficit so that all my good work wouldn't be ruined by family get togethers and a few sessions on the sauce. Oh, then that horrible feeling one week into the holidays, when your abs start to hide themselves and getting out of bed feels more difficult, because you realise the road ahead once your 'holiday' comes to and end... Even tougher dieting, train every day, twice if possible, eat better, more often, prepare meals... Months of effort, destroyed by a few days of enjoyment? What a bullshit yo-yo way to live.

Thanks for opening my eyes Martin.

Pat.

2011-12-25T00:50:45.971-08:00

It's always a revelation to scroll through your site and take part of all knowledge you've gathered over the years. When I get the notion to fuck around with my nutrition and workout routine I just type in your url and get a nice reality check.

I've been IF'ing for almost 7 months and I still get big clusters of excitement from time to time because of the absolute freedom i feel about my nutrition.

Just started reading Mindless Eating to and that is more knowledge that i've gained from this site.

Im wishing you a merry christmas from the northern parts of Sweden!

2011-12-24T20:11:33.040-08:00

I have to say this post really resonated with me. I, too, seem to be too much of a fundamentalist, and have clung to the same training routine for about a year now, without only slight progress in strength. I keep telling myself I just need to push myself harder, and I always try, but after reading this, it made me realize that it's not lack of pushing myself that's the problem. So I guess I can just say thanks for the needed wake-up call.

2011-12-24T16:15:01.311-08:00

I wont share my embarrasing past lifting mistakes to reinforce your point. But we've all had our own to contemplate on.

This is a really important point for lifters though. Too many people commit to their own lifestyle, and on the internet, where different opinions on the matter exist, the problem is likely compounded by arrogance.

Anyway, merry christmas. Being staunchly anti consumerist and raised without religious influences, i've never bought a christmas present for anybody (or a birthday present since i was 14). Congratulations for taking my virginity Martin.

Gerry, I'm in the same boat with my friends. Since I'm quick to adapt new ideas, it appears as if I'm moving from program to program aimlessly.

Great read so close to Christmas. Keep up the spectacular writing Martin.

2011-12-24T08:44:25.125-08:00

great post martin.

what is your take about milk? is milk (dairy) something you changed your opinion on as well? this quote from jack lalanne struck me today as i read it:
http://www.esquire.com/features/what-ive-learned/ESQ0804-AUG_WIL

"Look, are you a suckling calf? Name one creature on earth that uses milk after it's weaned. Man's the only one. And man's the only one who lives out only half his life span. A cow has four stomachs. You don't. You can't handle whole milk."

merry christmas

A thing that has struck my mind lately. I know lifting like Martin is badass, but how likely is it you can train that way your whole life without injury?

Incredibly well said Martin.

Awesome article, really needed to confirm what I have felt for quite some time. I have been accused of having a lack stick-to-it-ness by many people close to me. I think my pragmatic views on life have moved me forward quicker than a fundamental view. Thanks for the great article.

I really needed this today. Thank you.

2011-12-23T20:04:02.288-08:00

Martin,

I am guessing risk aversion must come into play here as well. Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote about this in prospect theory. Another factor in there may be explained by Ash's conformity experiments, and the role they have demonstrated in relation to social influence. Human inertia is intriguing, and something I live with every day.

I know who you are and what you do, but it's always nice and refreshing whenever you let us peer inside your personal life's ups and downs. It reminds us that you're not some mythical jacked guru who's above it all. You've been where we have been or currently are. It makes you seem more human. Cheers to this.

Wise words Martin! I really enjoy reading your writing! I've read so much truth on this site that I don't even put my glasses of suspiciousness on anymore.

Don't be surprised if a tall guy appears on your doorstep and gives you a hug one day!
