I know, it's getting brutal. These IF diets like LeanGains and EatStopEat are all about trying to make life easier and more enjoyable and people still find a way to make things difficult.

Good...

14 hours is fine. I'd give it another week at least for your body to adapt.

Is it a workout day? The calories aren't empty (though LG doesn't count them towards the feeding phase) and there is an insulin release associated with BCAA's. If you go through the LeanGains guide,...

True, I should've mentioned I use a 3 day a week weight training.

For calories, my approach is maintenance on non-workout days, then maintenance +20% calories on workout days.

Cutting, maintenance on workout days, maintenance -20% on nonworkout days.

Yes, but consider that it's the calories in the 24 hour period that ends up mattering so even if you are spending more time in a fasted state, you're going to be eating bigger meals in the smaller...

Good call, I didn't even see he was 15...from the Calculating Macro sticky:

NOTE: IF YOU ARE LESS THAN 18 YRS OF AGE - THESE FORMULA WILL NOT BE ACCURATE!
There is an energy cost associated with...

No, the whey shake won't throw it off.

Except for the acne and piss (though I never asked anyone else), yes, these are all common with intermittent fasting. Everyone I know who has done some sort IF (even those that don't work out) all...

There's a LeanGains FAQ out there (I think it was linked several posts back) and I believe Martin advocates bodyweight x13-14 to get your maintenance calories.

Martin is a big advocate of starting strength.

Yes, assistance movements typically relate, so if you're doing deadlifts and chins, you'd throw in another back or bicep movement. Benching and...

Not sure what your activity level is during the day, but I calculate out ~1500 calories for non lifting days and ~1900 on lifting days so I don't think it's too bad (this assuming you aren't very...

Awesome! Are you going to give a breakdown of your diet at some point?

Whatever you want. Martin makes an effort to avoid specifics a lot of times when it comes to things like that and food selection so that people can individualize things to make themselves happy and...

Believe it's something along the lines of this, reverse pyramiding scheme, 3-5 minute rest between sets to allow maximum weight used:

Monday
Deadlifts
Weighted Chin ups
1 assistance movements

The link is accurate, don't sweat it as long as you keep your total calories for the day under control.

Diet wise, on days you're going to drink cut out fats and carbs and just focus on proteins...

Would there be any issues if I eat 8 oz greek non-fat yogurt post workout (11 am) with added sugar to get to ~25 g protein and ~25 g carb? My dinner isn't until 7 pm. Or should I try to incorporate...

Been on the WD for several weeks and have never lost fat like this and my strength has stayed pretty much the same.

Going to start following this thread to see what I can pick up and use.

Yea I did, I didn't know what to do with it haha

Forgot about this forum....
