Speedy fat loss after 50

Discover a Domino’s-inspired pizza twist on intermittent fasting helping women slim down at triple speed

Crustless pizza recipes have gotten a zillion hits on the internet, mostly because they're quick, easy and "crazy delicious," say bloggers from around the world. But here's the big question: Can you actually lose weight eating oversized, supremely cheesy, pepperoni-topped skillets that taste like your favorite Domino's order? "It's already happening for a whole lot of women," says Amanda Rose, Ph.D., 55, who lost 140 pounds herself and is now helping other folks get lean and healthy. Her pizza-skillet devotees include Michele Brooks, 60, who has traded her size 24s for sizes 6s, and Camie Crisp, 70, who shed 20 pounds in 30 days. Besides shrinking waistlines, both ladies also report better blood work, better energy, better sleep and more. Keep reading to find out how pizza helped them and how it could help you too.

Amanda, Michele, Camie and thousands of others credit their success to a strategy you'll find at Eat Like A Bear.com. The gist: Dieters have just one huge meal a day and then "hibernate" the rest of the time, allowing their bodies to live off stored fat. It's a trick Amanda, a social scientist from California's bear country, discovered on the internet and adapted to suit busy women. To maximize fat loss and hunger control, "Bears" stick to low-carb fare, like pizza skillets.

"It's one of the most effective versions of intermittent fasting," confirms popular YouTube creator Eric Berg, D.C., author of Easy Keto and Intermittent Fasting. He notes that low-carb eating helps keep blood sugar so low, it prompts our bodies to run on ketones, a fuel made from fat. On top of that, he says, "by eating less often, you trigger biochemical changes that help metabolism and all body systems work better."

Does one meal a day (or OMAD for short) really work better than a traditional low-cal diet? Yes it does, say University of Amsterdam scientists...
