Intermittent fasting weight loss is a relatively new way of losing weight. Even though the concept of fasting this way has been around for a long time, it has never believed to be healthy or help properly in weight loss. A recent study has brought this amazing diet to many people out there. It showed that people that went on this diet lost weight, even though they ended up eating the same amount of food as they did before. There was also added benefits such as improved health issues. This ultimately led the study to conclude that people might actually live longer on a diet like this. I’m going to share a little of what I’ve learned about this type of eating.

Intermittent fasting comes down to a simple process of eating, fasting, than eating again. The study mentioned above did it in a 24hr cycle. That means you can eat anything you want for a 24hr period, than the next 24hrs you’re on a fast. This is how the eating habits would cycle over time. During the eat day, a person would end up eating a typical 2 days worth of food, so they essentially were not depriving themselves of food.

I think it probably works much better with our biology for the simple reason of how primitive man used to eat. It is well known that the “caveman” would of went out hunting and if they caught a meal, they’d have a big feast, but if nothing was caught, than they had to go without. I think it’s very probable that our biology is aligned to an intermittent fasting weight loss diet.

Films such as The primitive, Primitive Man, Buffalo Hill were considered suitable while Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, nollywood
The Isle of forgotten sins, House of Frankenstein were considered unsuitable for viewing. Home video thrived in the 90′s and early millennium. Foreign movies were still patronised by those who were tired of the lack lusture performances seen in home videos.

The cinematic culture was resurrected through the establishment of the Silver bird galleria (which houses the cinema) by chairman of the Silver bird group (Ben Murray Bruce). At first people thought it was a flash in the pan judging from the fall of yester years, but over time the galleria has played host to thousands of movie enthusiasts through its release of latest movies(dominantly Hollywood). The galleria capitalizes on its synergy (silver bird TV and rhythm 93.7fm radio station) and of course movie listings in Friday Vanguard and The Sunday edition of the Nation newspapers. Nollywood movies have also been accorded the same opportunity to be viewed by all.

Kunle Afolayan’s “Irapada”, Jeta Amata’s “The Amazing Grace”, kingsley Ogoro’s “Across the Niger”, Teco Benson’s “Mission to nowhere”, were among the early set of Nollywood movies viewed at the galleria. Perhaps, the booster for the film makers to have their movies on the big screen came with Stephanie Okereke’s “Through the Glass” which made N 10 million in two weeks at the galleria. This has further prompted filmmaker / producers to go for the big screen rather than the customary straight to the VCD /DVD approach. Tunde kelani’s “Arugba”, Vivian Ejike’s “Silent scandal”, Emem Isong/Desmond Elliot’s “Guilty Pleasures”, “Nollywood Hustlers” co-produced with Uche Jumbo, Lancelot Imaseun’s “Home in exile”, kunle Afolayan’s “The Figurine, araromire, Teco Benson’s “High blood pressure”, Jude Idada / Lucky Ejim’s “The Tenant” have towed the cinematic path.

Nu metro and Genesis Deluxe cinemas also exist and even the cinema halls at the National Theatre have come alive! Foreign investors can catch in on the growing profitable trend to establish cinema houses in other parts of the country. We can only hope that the cinematic culture will thrive across our Greenland and will never undergo the dearth experience of the 80′s. yoruba movies

Americans are not the only one who enjoy adapted productions as people in other Countries have also keyed in to the thrills of such works. Movies which have been re-lived in Hollywood from literary works of authors include but not limited to:

Jurassic Park (Michael Crichton), Lord of the Rings trilogy (J.R.R.Tolkien), Chronicles of Narnia (C.S.Lewis), Black Hawk Down (Mark Bowden), The Pelican Brief (John Grisham), The Godfather (Mario Puzo), Sea Biscuit (Laura Hillenbrand), No Country for Old men (Cormac McCarthy), Jumper (Steven Gould), I Am Legend (Richard Matheson), Atonement (Ian McEwan), and of course Harry Potter (J. K. Rowling). Characters from Marvel and D.C comic books have also joined the Adaptation band wagon with movies such as Spider Man, Iron Man, Dare Devil, Ghost Rider, X-Men, Superman, Incredible Hulk, Batman, Fantastic Four, and 300 amongst others.

However, the question as to whether Nigerian producers would be willing to part with good cash to obtain the rights to such materials is still begging for an answer.
