Get a new wife! Seriously, she should be supportive of your weight loss efforts and accommodate them.

I am about the same height as you and started about the same weight. I would bulk. Forget 11% for now. You don’t have enough muscle to cut right now and you will be disappointed with how it turns out...

You’ve put some good muscle on your frame currently, like many have said. How do you currently track your macros? I would use an app like MFP. Makes it much easier. Plan your meals in advance or like...

Sounds off. Cooked, boneless skinless chicken breast is around .24 grams of protein per gram of weight. For example 85grams of weight (3oz) is about 100 kcal 20g protein. Don’t over think it too...

I currently already do that. Actually I go over maintenance on those days now. The lower in body fat I get the higher I need to overshoot to get myself dropping more fat. At this point I’m already...

You don’t need blood work to determine whether your metabolism has slowed down or not...

This is the main problem. I wholeheartedly agree.

I agree. The laws of thermodynamics cannot be ignored. Many newbies don’t understand that regardless of diet choice/strategy.

I see a lot of hate and bashing for IF on this thread. It’s a shame people can’t stand to be a bit more open minded sometimes without all the flaming. I’ve personally been doing it for only 2 weeks...

I think you are making things too complicated. If you want to bulk slowly and stay as lean as possible, just assess the rate you are gaining at right now. If it’s too slow add maybe 200 more calories...

Some people chew gum and say that helps. Idk. For me it always just made me more hungry but you could try it.

This ^^^

What I think he meant is that it has been found to put your body in ketosis while fasting. That is the “fat burning” mode. Your body isn’t running on glucose during that time. People will debate...

I will add my two cents. Like everyone else said, it will work as long as you are in a caloric deficit and it can be a useful tool to help you achieve that by helping to control hunger and reduce the...

I agree with this. The question becomes, is very small advantage significant enough to be with the worth the hassle? I guess that will be up to the individual.

No they didn’t of course. Their diet just naturally contained lower GI foods as the foods were largely unprocessed unlike the case today.

Okay. Studies aside, let me tell you my personal experience. I have been doing it for about 2 weeks so far. I haven’t loss any muscle yet. I’ve been sleeping better too. Those things I can say for...

Interesting reads. Thank you for sharing.

I think my general conclusion about IF is that there still needs to be more research done. There are conflicting studies out there. Some for and some...
