He and I are on the same page about calorie deficit needed for fat loss. But, I have found that eating 3 meals/day works best for me and my clients. Even Brad says that by his 15-17 hr mark of fasting he chooses sleep because it gets tough fasting for that long. Additionally, I believe that exercise has more benefits that are equal to that of fat loss - stress relief, mindset shift, heart health - to name a few. I do have 2 Ironman Triathlon races under my belt. However, endurance training for those races was the fulfilling a physical and mental strength goal, and had nothing to do with fat loss for me. I believe that the most efficient training for fat loss is HIIT - http://ashleymahaffey.com/2009/09/hiit-it-for-fat-loss/ I also integrate body weight, functional training in my programs. You will NEVER see me sitting on a piece of gym equipment. I do a lot with my TRX http://ashleymahaffey.com/2009/03/gym-in-a-bag/ This particular 28 Day Turbo Challenge is based around fun, high heart rate cardio. There is a workout that is specifically geared toward strength, but it does not require heavy weights, as it is still a bit aerobic. I hope that helps. Tisa,

I meet the criteria of someone needing to get back into exercise for sure but not having been exposed to you or the exercise you are presenting I don't know if this is what I am looking to commit to. Have you seen Brad Pilon's most recent utube presentation talking about getting the same muscle mass with less exercise? He's the author of Eat Stop Eat. Just wondering if that is what you do. Also, are you promoting muscle building or are you promoting aerobic? I am interested in minimal time doing muscle building. Is that you? Sounds entriguing!
