Whats up guys....well thats right as my title say im going experimental here, I have to do a project for my nutrition course and for it I decided I would throw on the goggles and test out the waters of Intermittent Fasting on my Journey for a better physique and an A in this final project.... if you dont know what this is heres a starting link but ask me anything you want as well!!! http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...ittent+fasting
STATS::: Im around 6 ft 1, 195lbs, at 9%bf but I will have an official starting weight tommorow
DIET::: As stated I will follow intermittent fasting which is 8 hours of eating followed by a 16 hour fast.. Im planning to eat from 1PM to 9PM and fast from 9PM to 1PM. Macros will be around a 40/40/20 split or so and cals will vary.
GOALS::: My goals are a better physique, to learn and teach others about this and hopefully stumble upon a successful plan for both me and others and finally to get an A on this project!!!!
WEIGHT/TRAINING::: A program foucused on solid compound lifts and also I will do random things for fun.....but everyworkout will be posted to see what I am doing!!
---Ok thats pretty much it Ive had my eye on this form of recomping so Im going to do it myself!! This will be very detailed because I need a good grade and I will be posting pics A.S.A.P, OK LETS ROLL OUT!!!

Good job man, off to a solid start. I've started IF'ing myself just recently and have been enjoying it so far.
It's simple during the working week because i'm always in a rush in the morning (i fast the same hours you do) and i'm too busy to be hungry untill lunch time but it's the weekend's that are a bit tougher because my wife and i used to have bacon and eggs for breakfast. I guess i can just save that for lunch instead which would work out ok.
I'm gonna have to go look up Scarecrows as i've never heard of those before.

Hey thanks bro....yea I fell ya on the weekends being a little tougher but scarecrows are a exercise for the upper back and traps and I love them cuz it isolates them well, heres a link and the exercise is at the bottom of the page but I do them unilaterally (which is one handed) versus doing them as seen in the picture, http://www.defrancostraining.com/ask...e_10-28-05.htm

looking over my numbers today as far as my diet goes I see that I am doing a good job of gettin cals in (around 3,000) which is solid for IF. However my macors need to be alot better protein needs to be higher though i did get 190g in today and carbs need to be a bit lower. Other than that I am doing excellent as far as getting my veggies and fruits in I had a couple servings of vegetables and 3 bananas, 1 orange and an apple today so my number show that above. OVERALL not too bad at all alot of good things, but I will adjust things some tommorow...my journal

full analysis
Today was pretty good all around as far as my diet goes it went pretty much according to plan. Macros werent too bad at all around a 30 40 30 split, still needs a lil tweaking but was good. More importantly all my vitamins and fiber and Iron and so on are off the charts do to all of my carbs today coming pretty much from (4 packets of oatmeal, 1 apple, 1 orange, big salad with veggies and tomatoes) and this is SOLID. So alot of good things goin on today but still room for improvement, Tommorow is a upper body day and my plan is to take the majority of my cals pre and post workout. Also had a solid shake tonight to end my fast and probably will be an everynight occurance while I am doing IF it went like this , 32g casein protein with 2 cups of milk and 8g BCAA, that way this will slowly digest all through the night and tommorow until I break the fast!!!my journal

I've been following the IF eating plan and sticking to my usual workouts. On the scale today I have lost 3 pounds? Should I worry? I have no way of testing BF percentage until next week. Did anyone else see a quick weight loss early on? Was is fat loss?
Also, any thoughts on days you HAVE to do your workouts in the AM? Would you eat the usual 6 meals on those days or shift your fasting time? Today my only chance to lift is around 10am. Thats the case most Fridays.
Thanks for your thoughts on this.

about your weight I wouldnt worry at all yet, did you wait a week before you weighed yourself because your body weight can fluctuate alot throughout the week. I would advise that you dont eat 6 meals a day on that particular day, if you have to work out in the A.M then you should drink a shake consisting of 20-40g whey protein and Xtend or some for of BCAA mixed with WATER, this would be a a good option if you have to workout in the A.M. and youi havent eaten yet.

Overall I was looking to get a lot of carbs in yesterday and as you can I see I did. The good thing about IF is the ability to eat alot more carbs because they are being centered around the workout always! I still need to tweak things here and there but again, Im working on it.....my journal
