So I've followed an IF protocol off and on, depending on my work schedule typically. I'm curious, so IF doesn't break down muscle as long as you don't fast for over 20 hours or so correct? But the...

This isn't uncommon, I think most people struggle with it when they first step foot in the gym.

To be honest, what's worked best for me in feeling nervous in any social situation, is just...

Whatever you want to do. Whatever your preference. Do you want to look more muscular and have no abs this summer, or do you want to look toned, less muscular, but have good abs?

100% possible, happens unintentionally all of the time, especially if you're new to lifting. When you're cutting you're not in an optimal state for muscle growth and recovery, but it isn't impossible...

It's possible they are just insecure. Most people, especially as a teen have a desire to be a little bit better, more muscular, or thinner, or both. Their annoyance is likely to be insecurity...

Sounds like genetics and muscle memory.

I do recommend you get back in the gym though, just because the gym is great. Sounds like you'd put on some decent size quick.

Impressive weight loss.

It all comes down to how you feel to be honest, if you like the body fat you're at and how thin you are, then bulk away.

Or you could cut down to 10% and then bulk....

It's possible, you're just not in an optimal state for muscle growth.

Also, keep hitting abs brother.

This seems like not a bad idea, I don't mind waiting longer to keep my sanity. It's actually similar to what I'm running now, 2 weeks on dieting, one day off of dieting. So basically eating in a...

Yeah I don't agree with it either. Anyone who knows dieting knows energy in < energy out = fat loss, besides when you hard diet or do prolonged dieting.

Although I have seen cases where a refeed...

Interesting way of doing it! I've read about metabolism increasing and in some cases people actually end up losing weight during their refeed days, even when it's high calories. Did you notice...

Okay, what would you consider a refeed diet vs. normal cutting diet in your case? I'm assuming high carbs. Personally I've done one refeed day since my cut, it was great, love high carbs haha.

Good point. I also have a lot of respect for him personally because he isn't afraid of others opinions and tells it like it is, and he makes people question what they think they know, which I always...

It all comes down to energy in vs. energy out.

Find out your maintenance calories, an online calculator is a good start.

Personally I've used:...

It's not impossible just horribly bad for you and you would definitely gain a lot back quickly if you did it, and it wouldn't be straight fat loss either, plus your hormones and metabolism would take...

Work for ya, don't work? Okay go!

Definitely can agree with you there. It's super weird how they seem to have all this knowledge yet put out seemingly faulty programs.

So basically he introduces this routine in the video above, and it looks like he's...

I'm 6'3" myself. Curious if some of you guys would be willing to share some photos with weight and body fat percentage listed, so I can attempt to roughly judge what I would look like at various body...
