[Intermitted Fasting] My Journey to 200lb

[StormerJack]

My IF daily log + weekly weigh in


My feelings about IF: The first 2 days of IF i felt like i was never going to be able to continue with it as i was so used to eating junk from 9am-11pm but as the days went on i felt myself becoming more and more disconnected from food and now i have no cravings at all and i only eat when the time is right. When i wake up on a morning i am very energetic unlike before when i was eating lots of fatty food i always felt sleepy and bloated.


Weight At Start of IF: 301lb
Target Weight: 200lb
Goal: Get Lean and Defined
Mon-Fri Eating Window: 13:30-19:00
Weekend Eating Window: 12:00-17:00
Gym Training Days: Tue-Thurs-Sat-Sun 8am

Feel free to point out anything you think im doing wrong e.g. not enough protein / too much carbs ect

[HELP]Im currently doing everything natural but if anybody can recommend me some suppliments / Vitamins that will help me reach my goal then it would be much appreciated

Good luck man! I myself started Intermittent Fasting (Leangains approach) 3 weeks ago, it's great!

However, i think you should increase your protein intake, but i may very well be wrong.

[StormerJack]

thanks man and yeh i will be increasing my protein from monday, i have ordered plenty of chicken and will be adding fish too, going to cut out the bread if poss

[StormerJack]

Todays weigh in has been added and im very impressed, i have gone from 301lb to 286.4 that is a big drop!

[Bradcore]

Keep it up man.

[StormerJack]

Thanks man so far its been easy and i actually enjoy working out so all good

[StormerJack]

Im currently doing everything natural but if anybody can recommend me some suppliments / Vitamins that will help me reach my goal then it would be much appreciated

remember i work out in the morning and i cant take anything in the morning so it will have to be post workout supps / vits between the times i have posted

Hi. BCAA if working out in a fasted state.

[StormerJack]

i have 0 experience with BCAA, any chance you can answer some questions.

1. Are they useful for losing weight ?
2. How many times a day do you take them ?
3. Can you tell me which BCAA is the best

[StormerJack]

Bah i didnt know there was a time limit on being able to edit your thread so it looks like ill have to just skip the meal logs and post weight updates seen as i can update first post

http://www.leangains.com/search?q=bcaa
1)Yes
2)10g pre/post workout and 10g every hour post workout before you start your eating window (assuming your w/o is fasted)
3)I buy the cheap stuff from ebay £30/KG tastes like **** tho, but works just fine.

Other supplements...

[StormerJack]

Hey. If you work out in a fasted state, take 10g BCAA 5-15 minutes before your training session. If you have a pre-workout meal that includes protein, it's not needed.

I don't really know if BCAA are included in Jack3d.. But there should be no problem taking BCAA's with Jack3d.
