Eat Stop Eat Review
What You Should Know
The Eat Stop Eat diet plan is one of the most unique available today. With the negativity surrounding fasting and starvation, this plan actually embraces the power of selective fasting in order to make weight loss more effective and easier. Brad Pilon is the creator of the Eat Stop Eat program.
There is an official website for the program. This website is more of a static page that pushes the consumer to order the information on the Eat Stop Eat program. The program is comprised of nearly 17,000 words and 90 pages. The program sells as an eBook for $39.95.

Product Features
There have been scientific debates over the power and pain associated with fasting. Some skeptics of the Eat Stop Eat diet claim fasting will actually make the metabolism move more slowly. According to Pilon, the opposite is true. The Eat Stop Eat program teaches the dieter how to eat, what to eat and when to eat. There are intermittent stages of fasting, but without any excerpts from the Eat Stop Eat eBook we have little idea how severe the fasting is and how long the fasting lasts.
According to a third party review of the Eat Stop Eat program, the fasting occurs once a week and the dieter is still able to drink liquids on the day of the fast. The fast is supposed to help the dieter lose weight by creating a calorie deficit. If the body needs 2,000 calories a day to perform normal function and the dieter fasts for one day, the calories cut for the week will immediately be 2,000. Shaving off an additional 1,500 calories with healthy food choices and one pound of weight is lost.
The trouble with fasting is the connection with eating disorders. The fast is not something that every person can control and if the dieter is prone to obsessive behavior, they may find fasting is the best option and fast more often. This could be a problem in the future. The Eat Stop Eat diet is also not appropriate for dieters with diabetes. Diabetics need regular calories and fasting can alter the glucose balance in the body.
Advantages
- There is an official website.
Disadvantages
- The Eat Stop Eat book is an eBook.
- Fasting can be a dangerous choice.
- Some medications require food and fasting is not an option in these cases.
- There is no mention of fat burners or appetite suppressants being used.
Conclusion
The Eat Stop Eat program may work to help the dieter lose weight, but fasting is not the best long term weight loss solution. When it comes to losing weight, there are appetite suppressants that can help the dieter eat less and fat burners to help the dieter burn more, but these are not the same as starving the body for 24 hours. The starvation part of the diet takes great control and that may be lacking in many dieters. We cannot support the use of fasting in weight loss.
