I seem to recall he does no cardio, but not positive on that. His diet would piss off the clean eaters, the 6 meals a day camp of bodybuilding orthodoxy. It's basically eat what you want within the desired daily macros during the daily eating window (can't remember if it's 4 hours or more?). But it works of course, and not just for the genetically elite on a heavy drug regimen.
Yep. I don't think he does much cardio at all. I know he feels that losing weight and fatloss are better mitigated through calorie control than cardio (I agree).
I think the eating window is 8 hours but you want to squeeze it in generally after a work out. I inadvertently fasted at work a few times and found that if I staved hunger pains and hypoglycemia I'd end up feeling fantastic. And after eating, even if I ate "poorly" I would get SO pumped up. I started purposely fasting before I found his site and found great results.
Martin really puts it into perspective. He debunks a lot of myths like the one where it's better to eat around the clock because it turns you into some metabolic furnace. He touches base on the thermic effect of food, covers insulin and metabolism, etc. A lot of people make big claims but this guy just tells it like it is. No big, outlandish claims or theories. Everything is backed by science as well as real world results. Not everyone can fit IF into their lifestyle, but if they can...
