The Provolving Modified Intermittent Fasting System has stemmed from the likeness of the Lean Gains Protocol, Bulletproof Modified Fasting and carb cycling strategies. Taking bits and pieces of each dietary and supplementation methodologies has created a system that provides effortless body recomposition without drastic lifestyle changes. By timing specific work effort, supplementation and premeditated combinations of macronutrients, your body can turn into a fat burning machine while also packing on lean muscle.

Fats make you fat… the foundation of the nutritional advice over the last 50 years. Boy how they were wrong. An entire industry, founded on making low fat, “healthier” alternatives to already popular products, ironically causing an epidemic of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Marketing around health foods is hands down some of the most misleading propaganda being spewed in modern society. In my humble opinion, the misconception around dietary fat and its role in a healthy diet is the missing link to putting America back on track towards diminishing the wave of chronic disease that is plaguing the general public.

In other words, he doesn’t just tell you what to eat - he explains how to eat/prepare it, when to eat it, and (most importantly) why to eat it (or not eat it).

Experimenting with different nutritional ideologies as well as supplementation theory over the past ten years has led me to the following baseline theory: your body is a chemistry set. There are many ways to get to a certain ‘compound’ if I may; however, each method comes along with its own set of parameters and reactions that you must experiment with...
Fast forward a few years - experimentation with Intermittent fasting led me to put some real research into insulinogenic effects of different types of food. I was sick of being hungry all day at work, and was looking to trade in my Michelin Certified Physique for that 8 pack. Lo and behold, Fats are not insulinogenic (I'll get into this in another article). Wait, so you are saying that I can eat fats to sustain energy without spiking my insulin, thus keeping my body in a fat burning zone while not breaking my “fast” and still perform in the gym? …LIGHTBULB.
