Cycling calories and/or macronutrients | Eating 101 | Forum

The fasting thing, I am assuming, (As off the top of my head I don't remember the article) is about energy intake (food in) vs. energy output. (working out)  Basically it is a LOT easier to keep the calories from going in than it is to get them off.  About the tricking your body thing, I honestly don't know.  I am going to say that you may need to change your routines more.  That's what periodization is for.  However, you said you read on it years ago.  The information would definitely be nice to know, however it may not be applicable anymore also, due to the advancement in our knowledge of the body.  But, I guess theoretically it would be possible that your body adapts.  Unfortunately, our bodies are a lot smarter than any of us, hence the reason perodization is neccisary.  For example, after doing a LOT of cardio, on a machine in this instance, your body gets used to it.  If you change the type of cardio, you get an increase in difficulty and a higher EPOC (Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption).  basically EPOc is when you work out REALLY hard with something new and your body can't seem to cool off, you burn extra calories outside of the workout.  Ideally you want this everyday.

Thanks for the input and the link.
