SFP vs HIIT
I was just wanting some opinions and/or preferences between the stubborn fat protocol and HIIT.
For those that have done both types, do you like one over the other? Have you noticed any significant differences in results in one method or the other? I've utilized HIIT for a while now, love it (and hate it at the same time :biglaugh:) but I'm thinking about trying some SFP sessions in my next show prep. EDIT: The Stubborn Fat Protocol is NOT something to be utilized by those that are simply trying to lose some BF. It's geard towards those people that are at or below their body's natural setpoint (so when you're already at a low level of BF and you're hitting fat loss plateaus). Also, it's not a program that can be carried out for a long period of time like HIIT can. So please be cautious of attempting this program if you are not at an advanced level of conditioning already. |
never heard of SFP? What is it.

Two things:
1. its from Lyle so its gonna work, the guy is good, period. I've ran the ud2 before and as grueling as it is, it works. I put a lot of faith in the guy. 2. if you do use the sfp, please log your progress here, I would be very interested to see the outcome. 3. (I know i said 2 things) Just from reading that it makes sense, but its gonna be a pain in the ass. I dont function well in the morning so this may not be an option for me, but if can handle it more power to ya IK. |
Realize though that it's for the last bit of "stubborn" fat. It ain't for just losing fat in general. Lyle's the only guy who really puts "stubborn" fat into a category all it's own. So your are dealing really with one guy's theories. It'll probably work but I would be really leary of breaking down muscle doing that pre-breakfast without any protein or whatever.

^^ some excellent points as usual E. i know i dont know a lot about diet and nutrition (but im learning) but i am against anything in the morning bereft of protein+carbs. i am also ignorant of what "stubborn fat" truly means because to me its a very very relative term which can be interpretted in any way.

In this instance, I think that this would be applicable for IK. just from her avitar pics it looks like the only thing she has left to lose is a small amount of stubborn fat. That being the case, this protocol should only be used for a short time, and perhaps that will keep the muscle loss to a minimum. Correct me if i'm wrong though IK. Plus he mentions keeping your caloric intake staying the same durring this time period, so how much muscle could you lose in 2hrs really? Especially since you will resume normal eating after that, and that should pull you out of any catabolism. Just a thought.

Yeah, for IK it could be very applicable. I was inserting a caveat for others (beginners looking to lose fat and/or build muslce) who may misunderstand the situation (i think that is what Anuj was alluding also). The only thing I would wonder, IK, is if you ever tried fasted HIIT in the first place. I assume probably you have. But if not I would think that jumping from comparing HIIT to this protocol wouldn't be as "fair" as comparing this protocol with just fasted HIIT without the additional steady state (maybe with the sups?) to this protocol. That may not make sense really just wondering.

^^ good point, i wasnt thinking about noobs lookin at this thread, sometimes i forget.
