Have seen on Instagram that Viney is doing an intermittent fasting diet. Essentially he fasts between 8pm at night to 12pm the next day. He’s claimed it’s helped him lose a bit more weight (without losing muscle) and his training hasn’t been affected. Will be interesting to see if he continues it during the season.

Also said that “Personally, I think alcohol plays no role in an athlete’s diet”.

    This diet does work. I know two people who are on it and are consistently losing weight.

    Tried Keto for several weeks (probably only the first 3 weeks were strict)

    [censored] me off.

    After the first few days, had an intermittent headache every damn day, for weeks on end, and CRAVED a biscuit or similar.

     

    But never felt "starving hungry", and dropped 7.5kg in the first 3 weeks, after only starting at 88kg

    Have since put on 2.5kg of what I lost, but boy oh boy have I eaten some schit.

    Fasting is not only to lose weight. It can be to gain weight, in particularly muscle mass. All that you are doing is changing your eating pattern, not necessarily how much you eat. 

    The way it works is that your body adjusts hormone levels to make stored body fat more accessible. For example, human growth hormone with can promote muscle gain and fat loss. It has proven to drop insulin levels dramatically and cellular repair. This is when your cells initiate the cellular repair processes.

    Have you got a link for this info? I have done the fasting thing on and off now for awhile. I only eat dinner most days and the results are great. I thought the cellular repair was only proven in mice and rats?

    Was the disparate font-size of this post intended as a before and after Megatron? if so, I'm SOLD, ALL KNEEL BEFORE MY GLORIOUS NEW BODY.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
