Muscle growing and losing fat, Thanks intermitent fasting for existing

[Radio89]

Btw...the main benefit of this way of eating is that IF is more muscle sparing than restricted calories spread out. It's been proven that it's better than caloric restriction. It's NOT a bulking diet.

It CAN be used for bulking. Search PBateman2

can you tell me if i understand this right? in that 8-hour window, there is no caloric ceiling, so you can eat anything in any amount? or am i wrong? im thinking of doing something like IF, but maybe 15/9, and without BCAA. does this look good:

9am - milk
9am-1030 ; workout

11 am - lunch, chicken breast and veggies
3pm - chicken and veggies
6 pm - chicken and veggies

can i do this for 2 weeks? how long can i do this without dying?

ur still cutting on the same normal calories u would regularly eat... only diff is u have very small meals during the day (500 or so worth of protein/ some fats and carbs) and the rest is all at night in one meal. its all about timing ur eating schedule differently.. thats all really.. ur food quantities are the same

ehh i dont agree with not eating /consuming anything... for ex.

wake up at 9... have a shake..

12pm... snack on a handful of nuts

3pm shake...

6pm... shake

lift

shake...

large meal

sleep


people are overcomplicating it too much.. its simply timing convenience.. that's all there is to this.. whenever u feel the most hungriest.. eat ur largest meal at that time.

how much calories are u cutting on? im cutting on 1650 calories... what i do is have 600 calories by 7pm (after i lift im at 600 cuz of the shake after)...and have all the rest of my food at night maybe at 9ish... then i sleep.. and im full the next day from eating such a large meal so im not usually hungry anyways (have to force myself the shakes actually)

I plan on doing this during Ramadan this year(Muslim month of fasting - no food/water from sunrise to sunset). I'll make a thread on it when I'm done.

please make that thread log

[tekkado]

i sometimes do the same thing as OP but have a protein shake for dinner

[Joshua91]

lol @ IF

brb eating under maintenance

brb seeing muscle defintion

i think i need 1800-2000 calories a day to maintain, and im eating maybe 800 calories, give or take, and working out 1-1.5 hours a day. how fast can this IF work? how many pounds a week?

lol that sounds terrible.

Considering using this while bulking next winter as a way to stay clean. Right now, I'm on a traditional cut (although using altered macros due to my different needs as an athlete), and I'm doing very nicely with just dedication, but I am reading leangains quite a bit.

[omgwtfisgoinnon]

lol that sounds terrible.

depends on the person... i dont get hungry much during the day.. have cravings mostly at night after i work out... and the small snacks during the day keep me good for my workout.... my lifts are still fine doing this... remember.. im having my calories for the day and my macros are met for the day.. so in the end its about whether or not it suits ur lifestyle... too much broscience around this.. u won't lose fat any faster or put on more muscle.. it's simple cutting with time adjustments for convenience factor

Fasting longer than 18 hours is going to get into intramuscular fat. You're doing it wrong.

Would you suggest an even shorter fasting period for those with hardly any BF? It seems that, for people with a low amount of BF, even a short period of fasting would break down intramuscular fat.

its not like your muscle mass is going to vanish overnight on this type of cutting lol

[Radio89]

its not like your muscle mass is going to vanish overnight on this type of cutting lol

This, its proven to actually loose less LBM.

And IF would probably be bad if you are cell teching..

[fantasticoo]

lmao @ this dumb fuk.


brb doing a diet for 7 days.
brb convincing myself i've gotten noticable results.

Yeah, I just don't like serious cutting if not on It really does make a hyoooooge difference

Not sure exactly how IF would be "bad" if you were teching though

[Radio89]

Im assuming if you are teching you want more food/calories. Might be hard to get in that 8 hour period, since it actually decreases your hunger. Thats why I said that.

[Beast92]

im sitting at 81kg at the moment, down 3kg from last weight check

[61ang]

Been reading about IF for the last week. Sounds really good but I'm still around 15%, down from 23% and I've still had good results. Gonna wait til I get down to 10% or something then start doing IF.

Really wanna try it but it sounds like such a major change and well that scares most people.

I don't know who I love more...Lyle McDonald or Martin Berkhan.

Or me? =D
