bro its the best decision you'll make in your life

[SoberToaster]

ok so how long do I have to go without eating?

[daedaluz]

[jekene]

2000% srs? Would do but can barely get cals in throughout the entire day, 8 hours would be almost impossible for me

[plentyofwhales]

ok so how long do I have to go without eating?

you can do 16/8, 18/6 or 20/4

I'm doing 16/8 and feel fantastic. Dont eat between 8pm and 12am. Workout either in the morning or at night, eat like 75% of my calories after my workout, which I do in a fasted state

its fantastic. You just have to make sure u get enough protein/calories in those hours or youll burn muscle

[Cazax]

Is this real life?

[CynicalSphere]

This is so stupid. You don't eat for 16 hours, your anabolic hormones decrease, once you start eating your anabolic hormones will increase

IF is absolutely retarded, theres plenty of studies stating that your body will on use around .04 - .06 grams per body weight of leucine in a meal (takes about 1-3 hours for amino acid levels to spike and fall, so you want to eat every 3-5 hours). Don't know you you people can physically go 16 hours without eating, you must all have the appetite of a female

[BrocepCurls]

sounds legit.

[TreFo]

All Intermittent Fasting is, is eating your diet in a 4-8 hour period. Then starving until you reach said period.


It's literally all there is to it. That diet is nothing special, just is a lot more convenient and satiating. It can be any window. But you must keep eating at those timeframes and hit ur macros, water intake, and micros.

[GhostZ28]

There's a HUGE thread on IF. Lots of info, links, etc...so a search, it'll pop up.

I'm going to revisit it and get going on it this week.

Need more cliffs, cba to read right now, busy, but does this mean that 16/8 IF'ing would produce the same results since when I scanned it mentions a 5d fast, we're obviously not gonna fast for that long since that'd atrophy muscles and drive people crazy. Apologies if I misread, I only skimmed it briefly.

Brb eating 2500 calories in 6 hours
Brb 2pm-8pm
Brb sleep @ 10pm
Brb wake up @ 8pm, already 12 hours is past
Brb just drink more water and starve until 2 and repeat

[Zerafian]

I fast 7-8 hours a day...when I sleep, thats it.

It takes a certain amount of nutrients to make gains. If you dont eat for that many hours at once and you cram all the necessary fat, protein, and carbs into your diet wihin that small window of time your body wont be able to use 80-90% of what you eat. In other words it wont get used as energy and you will either have huge sh*ts, indigestion, as well as gain fat.

Enjoy discomfort and losing strength.

Will post after the gym

[RepTillFailure]

So, does that mean I will no longer be a manlet?

[TreFo]

This recent study also confirmed earlier findings about the effects of fasting on human growth hormone (HGH), a metabolic protein. HGH works to protect lean muscle and metabolic balance, a response triggered and accelerated by fasting. During the 24-hour fasting periods, HGH increased an average of 1,300 percent in women, and nearly 2,000 percent in men.

Here's just one problem: nobody on IF fasts for 24 hrs+

IF also decreases brain deterioration associated with aging:

What time do you work out at night? You're eating your macros from Noon - 8pm, but what time would you need to work out to be in a fasted state?

Exactly my thoughts, mb we should though?

[CynicalSphere]

Brb eating 2500 calories in 6 hours
Brb 2pm-8pm
Brb sleep @ 10pm
Brb wake up @ 8pm, already 12 hours is past
Brb just drink more water and starve until 2 and repeat

Brb I am cutting at 4300 calories
Brb I eat when I am hungry


Maybe this is just me, but when I am really fuking hungry I can literally eat 8000 calories and not even feel full, don't know how you guys can fill up on 2500

[rnaco]

sorry no cure exists

[J1992]

I've made like 3 threads in the past about IF

I attribute my lean gainz to it.

Fast until 4-5 pm and eat until 10pm then repeat. Plus I eat w/e the fk I wanna eat...
