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.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
