Max Lowery was a stockbroker in the city for four years leading a booze-fuelled and sleep-deprived life before he became a heath guru.
He quit the banking world and went travelling around South America, where he accidentally fell into intermittent fasting.
He told Business Insider that while doing lots of hiking in Brazil, “I was trying to save time and money, so I started eating one or one and a half meals a day.”
He discovered the local buffet restaurants, known as “kilogramas,” which, as the name suggests, sell home-cooked food by the kilogram.
“Some of them were actually working out quite expensive, but I found one where for a set price you could eat as much as you like, and got into this habit of having just one huge meal a day at about 6 p.m. or 7 p.m.,” he said. “I felt amazing.”
Upon his return to London, Lowery reverted to eating three meals a day. “I started to feel really lethargic, was always thinking about my next meal, and my body fat rose from 7% to 12%.”
“I started to feel really lethargic, was always thinking about my next meal,” he said, “and my body fat rose from 7% to 12%.”
He began researching intermittent fasting and realised he had been following a long version of that. Unknowingly, he had trained his body to be self-sufficient and put it into fat-burning mode.
That was four years ago. Now, Lowery, a 27-year-old personal trainer and health coach, has written a book on his intermittent-fasting weight-loss plan, called the 2 Meal Day.
