Reverse The Aging Process! (Don't Forget Your ID Even Though You're Almost 30!)

OMG! I am utterly flabberghasted! I have been asked for ID to buy a bottle of wine for the 4th time in a row! Here in the UK, you have to be 18 to drink and I've been 'getting served' since the tender age of 13 (I had a bit of a wayward youth...) but suddenly, at the tender age of 30 minus 100 or so days, I am getting asked to prove I am over 18!! How can this be?

Well, I have lost weight - discovering kettlebells, amongst other things, has helped me shed a few kilos that I've had for most of my 20s (nice to get to 30 looking better than I did at 21!) and I eat an extortionate amount of veg and get plenty of protein and good fats etc, but all of this has been pretty typical for me for quite a while so can't be the only explanation.

Resistance training actually reverses biological markers of aging too, but again, I've been training with weights for ages...

The only thing I can think of that is new in my life is the intermittent fasting, thanks to Brad Pilon's Eat Stop Eat programme. I've been doing it on and off for the past few months and have found it a great way to control the calorie intake without having to obsess about food (something I am very prone to!). Brad has just launched the Eat Stop Eat Advanced Audio Files and I was actually listening to them yesterday on the way to the supermarket in question as he was explaining all the benefits to not only your waistline, but also your health, and explained the scientifically proven anti-aging effects of fasting. So when I was asked for ID I found it amusing as it did seem to be anecdotal evidence that it was having that effect on me!

The audios are really informative - even though its a really simple concept we are continually bombarded with soundbites such as 'you must eat every 3 hours or you will go into starvation mode' etc, and Brad neatly unpicks all the nonsense in a really unique and wonderful way! There is quite a lot of 'sciency' stuff in there, but he does explain it well so you don't feel too bamboozled by it all. I'll definitely listen to them a few times to properly understand it all, but the key messages are loud and clear - this is a system that works.

Brad has just turned 31 and is in a similar boat to me - looking better and stressing less now than he did 10 years ago! As a birthday bonus he's launching the audios and throwing in a free copy of the original book, so you should get hold of your copy now here: Eat Stop Eat - Audio Files and EBook

You'll find out that most of what you read is a waste of your time, and how to control calories without dieting or stressing (while saving yourself a lot of time and hassle in the process!)
