Epilogue by Brad Pilon, MSc
If you’re ready to finally lose all the weight you want then you’ll love this story...
I used to follow the diet gurus like a lost sheep…
That all ended over a juicy hamburger in 2009 across from a fellow named Brad Pilon. He helped me dig out of a deep pit most chronic “dieters” feel trapped in...
Maybe you’ve felt this too...
You start out strong. You’re confident “this time” you’re going to lose the weight and keep it off.
You pick a “diet” and dig in. At first it seems doable. Then the rules get confusing.
You get busy. All of a sudden fighting the endless food restrictions, calorie counts, ounces and portions is overwhelming.
Every meal is a mental battle. What foods to eat? How many calories? It’s exhausting!...
I would go out with friends. I’d either watch them enjoy their meals while I picked at a salad... Or I’d break down... Eat twice as much as I usually would… And end up feeling terrible about myself...
Whatever it is, something knocks you off the plan...
You tell yourself you’ll get back to it tomorrow. But tomorrow never comes. And…
Before you know it you’ve gained all the weight back — and more!...
When I look back at those times it’s like I was being herded. Like I was a lost sheep blindly following wherever the diet gurus and their fancy plans drove me — even though time and time again I ended up right back where I started. I was trapped in a pit, depressed and a little bit fatter than when I started...
“How Can Losing Weight Really Be This Complicated?!?”
In every other corner of my life I was in charge. And if you’re like me, you probably wonder how a free-thinking, sophisticated, clever and successful person like you can find losing weight so complicated and impossible...
Which is why I’m writing this page for you. Because I want to share the story of how blind luck lead me to Brad. And how he showed me the one simple weight loss strategy that replaced all the complicated rules and gave me back control.
Not only that, using this one strategy is also proven to rejuvenate your cells from the inside out. So you enjoy a more youthful appearance and energy while you brush away aches, pains and health troubles you used to accept as “normal”...
And I want the same freedom for you. However before you keep reading I should warn you…
The simple strategy you’re about to discover is not something the “gurus”, the big food companies, or the diet industry want you to know. In fact they’ve done their best to attack it with false labels like “controversial” or “dangerous.”
Which is why this information has been so hard to find until now. Just keep reading to find out what they don’t want you to know, and why...
Weight Loss 101
(or Why Your Diets Have Failed)
Did you know less that 2% of “dieters” manage to keep off the weight?...
No wonder we all lose hope that we'll ever get the body we strive for.
What I learned though — and what I'll share with you today — is that the endless cycle of rebound weight gain was never my fault. Just like it's not your fault. You see…
Diets don't work… for one very simple reason...
When you are told to skip entire food groups. When you are forced to limit the amount of calories you eat. Your only option is to use discipline to stick to the plan.
Yet behavioural science clearly proves you only have a small supply of discipline. And when you run out… well, you know what happens right?...
And the reason you need discipline to follow a diet is because diets are NOT NATURAL.
When you follow a diet day in and day out you are fighting against everything your body thinks is best for it’s own survival.
Which is why you end up sick, suffering from accelerated aging, and fighting once again with rebound weight gain...
Yet some diets do get ONE thing right. It's just not what you think...
Calories = The Biggest Lie In Weight Loss
In the last few years a lot of diet gurus have tried to argue that calories don’t count… And to be honest I understand why. It’s what we all want to hear!...
But to be blunt — It’s also the biggest lie in weight loss...
Ignore for a moment all the fancy weight loss theories you’ve heard. Some of them may be true. Some completely bogus. And others so weak they don’t make a difference in your real results.
However there is one undeniable truth about weight loss...
This one thing may not be popular. But it MUST happen, no matter what the diet gurus pretend. Here it is…
To lose weight you must eat below a certain threshold of calories.
Now, stick with me for a second, ok? I know you’re probably thinking…
“How is this any different from what I’ve already heard?...”
You’ll see in a moment why this is totally different. First...
Let’s define a calorie...
Basically it’s a way of talking about the “energy” stored in the food you eat. It’s also used to talk about the “energy” your body burns to live — and to do whatever activities you do throughout your day.
Now I know this probably isn’t going to be “popular” advice. However...
Even though you NEVER have to “count” a single calorie… I just don’t have a “magic formula” that allows you to eat as many calories as you want and still lose weight. And…
If someone claims you can do that… run as fast as you can in the opposite direction!
And second… I said you need to eat below a certain threshold of food.
The trick is knowing what your level of calories is and getting below it. However...
You don’t have to do it every day. There’s a simple strategy that allows you to stay below your personal threshold WITHOUT daily discipline, precise calorie counting, or giving up any of your favorite foods.
And using this simple strategy is what helps clean out your body — even at the deepest level of your cells — so that you can actually turn back the clock, look younger and feel more energy than folks half your age…
"Both These Bodies Are 75 Years Old - The Choice is Yours..."
We’ll get into exactly how to do it in a minute. First, we need to uncover...
The Secret Kept By Your Great, Great Grandparents That Unlocks Your Lean & Youthful Body
Chances are your Great Grandparents, and certainly your Great Great Grandparents happily ate fewer calories than you do.
However I’d be willing to bet they didn’t discipline themselves or give up specific foods. In fact...
If you could hop in a time machine and go back thousands of years to visit your ancestors, you’d see that for most of human history there was a very natural cycle of consumption. This kept our bodies lean, healthy and in balance.
You see, calories came in waves. Sometimes high and abundant. Sometimes low and hard to find.
And even today human communities in remote places still follow this natural cycle of high and low calories. And researchers who have visited these communities discover people who are lean, strong, youthful and shockingly healthy compared to the constantly overfed people in the modern world.
Listen: your biology is pretty much identical to your ancestors…
The Genetic Code That Unlocks Permanent Weight Loss
Picture a football field…
Imagine it’s 3rd Down and the ball is less than an inch from the goal line…
Now imagine the entire length of the field as the 300,000 years of human genetic evolution. Well…
The inch that’s left between the ball and the goal line would be like the time since humans discovered agriculture. And…
One blade of grass right before the goal line would be like the time since we started making modern industrial food.
So you can see that your genes haven’t had time to adapt to the embarrassing over-abundance of food that you have today.
Your body still craves the natural waves of higher and lower calories that it evolved to expect.
And we already saw that discipline is not the answer. And that it goes against every survival instincts your body is wired for. After all…
Your ancestors survived by eating their fill when food was plenty so they could cruise through times when it was harder to find. And that’s why you struggle now…
You were never meant to avoid certain types of foods. You are not made to endure daily discipline and deprivation. And you certainly weren’t meant to spend every day counting calories. Heck, we didn’t even discover the calorie until the early 1800s!
However your genetic code IS hardwired to go without food for short periods between times of plenty.
And that’s what’s missing in the modern diet. These days it’s like you eat “one long meal per day” — it starts at breakfast and doesn’t end until you go to bed...
That’s why we’re sick.
That’s why we’re fat.
That’s why losing weight seems so complicated.
That’s why you end up gaining it all back.
That’s why you need to shift from “Food Obsession” to “Food Freedom”... and give your body the break it deserves...
Stop Obsessing About Food
(if you want to finally keep the weight off)
When you don’t eat you get hungry, right?...
And when you’re trying to follow a diet, doesn’t it feel like you’re hungry all the time?
It’s like you’re running a marathon and the finish line keeps getting pushed away. There’s never a day or a time when you are allowed to just NOT be hungry. However...
Imagine being hungry only once or twice a week for a specific amount of time…
And the rest of the time you’re full and satisfied… Never even thinking about your next meal.
Wouldn’t that be freeing?
When I started using the method I’m about to show you it was like a weight being lifted.
And the crazy thing is… I discovered something about hunger too.
Hunger Loses All Its Power!
All of a sudden hunger did not control me. I wasn’t scared of it anymore...
Because just a little bit of hunger… the tiniest amount of self control… opened up a world of freedom for me.
The method I’ve been talking about is a specific way to do something nutritionists call Intermittent Fasting (IF). However my way of doing it is very different to what you may have heard about. So keep reading...
Because this is the system that freed me from the endless cycle of rebound weight gain. It allowed me to ditch all the crazy diet rules. And now I finally enjoy a stable weight and a lean body I’m proud of.
And it will do the same for you too, like it has for over 54,000 other folks who are using the simple nutritional shifts I learned from a guy named Brad Pilon
This Is The Key To Rewarding Yourself Without Obsessive “Food-Guilt”
I get a lot of strange looks when I first talk to folks about Intermittent Fasting…
It’s something they find either confusing, extreme or scary. And they should because you CAN do it the wrong way. So…
Let’s start with a no-nonsense explanation of how to do it right…
I follow a simple method of Intermittent Fasting called Eat Stop Eat — developed by international author and nutrition expert Brad Pilon who you’ll meet in a minute. Here’s how it works...
Once or twice a week I stop eating for a specific pre-set amount of time depending on my goal and my amount of bodyfat. Simple as that… and it's only EVER once or twice a week, never more!
And get this… you never go a single day without enjoying a completely normal meal. Now...
Think back to your ancestors and their natural cycles of high and low calories. Really that’s all you’re doing when you practice Eat Stop Eat.
Listen: if you’re like most folks new to this simple yet powerful weight loss and health enhancing strategy, you may think these brief periods without eating could feel limiting. Yet it’s quite the opposite.
Remember: when you’re on a diet you feel hungry all the time, right?
Yet when you’re following the Eat Stop Eat method you’re hungry once or twice a week at most.
That’s it!...
And guess what… the hunger never gets any worse than your normal hunger between meals that you CONSTANTLY suffer from when you’re on a diet.
Wait! What?
“Instead of being hungry ALL THE TIME — like when you’re on a diet — you can limit your hunger to only one or two days a week?...”
Yes! And you won’t be any more or less hungry than on a diet. But you’ll be FREE from hunger the rest of the week. And you’ll be free to eat whatever you want.
FREEDOM is the reward you get from Eat Stop Eat.
If You Can Stay Busy For 7 to 8 Hours, Then You Can Lose All The Weight You Want
Here’s what changed my life and my relationship to food...
Simply extending your normal overnight fast once or twice a week eliminates the need to diet. And it allows you to lose all the weight you want while you improve the markers associated with good health and longevity.
Now if you’re as busy as I am, those hours will fly by and you’ll barely notice them. In fact most folks report feeling more clear headed, alert and productive on those one to two days per week when they simply hold off on their first meal!...
Remember You Don’t JUST Lose Weight
(Over 317 peer-reviewed studies prove the surprising health benefits)
Listen, I first started using Eat Stop Eat because I wanted a permanent solution to controlling my weight. You see…
Even though I’m a fitness professional, I used to constantly fluctuate between looking great and hiding my body in embarrassment. Eat Stop Eat gave me freedom from that struggle. Yet I soon discovered that I was doing a lot more good for my body than simply weight control…
The author of Eat Stop Eat — Brad Pilon — has studied over 317 peer reviewed scientific research papers. He continues to devour every new piece of scientific evidence linked to Intermittent Fasting. And…
The benefits of the simple strategy he created are shocking. Here’s what you can expect...

Brad’s Eat Stop Eat uses no-nonsense language. It explains the science of exactly WHY the Intermittent Fasting — done right — delivers such powerful and lasting benefits…
In fact, after reading Eat Stop Eat I knew more about nutrition and how it affects my body than 99% of the professional nutritionists I work with in the industry...
Take a Second Now To Review The BIG Health Benefits Covered In Brad’s Eat Stop Eat
The Pioneer Who Defied The Diet Industry & Revealed The Health Healing and Weight Loss Power of “I.F.”
Meet Brad Pilon...
In the Summer of 2009 I joined Brad for lunch at a little burger joint in his hometown of Guelph, Canada. I’d only just started using his Eat Stop Eat method and I was excited to discuss my new passion with the author of the book.
He didn’t disappoint. Brad talks about Eat Stop Eat with all the passion of an artist. Yet he backs it up with a depth of knowledge I’ve rarely seen in any fitness professional. And I’ve met my fair share!...
Brad actually stumbled on the Eat Stop Eat protocol in a strange way. You see…
In his post-graduate studies he set out to prove Intermittent Fasting was wrong.
Yet what he discovered shocked him and forced him to write his thesis in defence of a specific type of Intermittent Fasting. And it’s his post-grad thesis that became the foundation for Eat Stop Eat.
Brad went on to head up the R&D department for one of the biggest supplement companies in the world. He describes his time there as being like a kid in a candy store…
He had access to all the latest gadgets and scientific labs a nutrition geek could ever hope for. And he was able to poke, prod and measure countless test subjects — including fitness models and athletes. And…
Although it’s the complete opposite of what the supplement company was trying to sell… Brad continually saw that everything pointed back to what he’d discovered during his post-grad research — Intermittent Fasting when done according to the findings of his thesis is the fastest way to lose weight. It’s the most consistent way to control it for life. And the most natural way to help your body achieve optimal health...
Introducing The Eat Stop Eat Method:
Now Science, Evolution and Tradition All Agree On The Simplest, Most Efficient and Permanent Way To Lose Weight
There’s a strange contradiction in the diet world. Everyone seems to accept it without question…
Think about it… Almost every diet, weight loss pill, supplement or program is encouraging you to consume MORE of something.
Weird right?
No one is talking about how to make it easier to eat less.
They try and convince you that eating less is hard, scary, bad for you, and that it’s just not appropriate… and they leave out the fact that it’s the only sustainable solution to permanent weight control.
Now, Brad’s permanent solution to weight loss is not new. As far back as ancient Greece the famous philosophers of the day were promoting the same principles found in Eat Stop Eat.
And as we’ve seen… it’s really just a way for you to mimic the way your ancestors ate. It’s what kept them lean and healthy. And it’s what your body still craves today...
So it may seem strange that “science” has taken so long to catch up. Well…
That may not be true. You see the scientific research has been there for years. And it continues to build up...
However studies that tell you to “consume” less don’t get the same backing and marketing dollars as studies that hint you can buy a pill, eat a certain food, or purchase a certain supplement and lose weight…
It took a pioneer like Brad to gather all the research. He’s had to fight every step of the way to get the word out.
He battled against the status quo — with people trying to claim silly things like fasting would slow your metabolism. Or you’d lose muscle. Or that it wouldn’t work for women. Yet the evidence is overwhelming...
Using Brad’s specific method of IF actually improves your metabolism, preserves your lean muscle tone, and can be used by ANYONE to improve organ health, reverse signs of aging and achieve your lifelong ideal weight.
