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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
