yeah ive read a bunch of info on it in the weight loss section of the forum, i'm thinking i'm going to do the 16/8 hour split but don't know if this is an everyday thing or every other day the info isnt very clear.

[garythesnail]

SInce I eat at 12pm I stop eating at 8pm
Just eat 8 hours straight and fast 16hrs straight(include sleep with your fasting time)

[MegaManny94]

You just fast for a certain period of time and eat within a given time frame. It's nothing special, IMO it's just beneficial for satiety on a cut. I currently do a variation of IF right now.

[2wilight]

I'm doing it currently on a bulking approach though.
16 hour fast and you only eat in an 8 hour window
I eat from 3pm-11pm and then fast from there till 3pm the next day.
The days that you train your post workout meal will be your largest 40- 45% of your calories.
The days that you don't train your first meal will be 40- 45% of your calories.

This is an everyday thing unless you wanna do the 24hr fast then that's done about 2 times weekly

every day? every other day? how many meals do you typically eat in that 8 hour window?
example of pre and post workout meals?

This is wrong
I've been doing If for two months straight without even counting my calories and I've lost weight

yeah i was going to do it from either 11am-7pm or 12pm-8pm
thanks measly rapes.

[yummy22]

don't do it, too much hassle and works no better then simple IIFYM

[garythesnail]

Everyday although I skipped some days but 1 day skip wouldnt make much a difference
I never really go by "meals" i just eat whatever there is to eat

You're still eating in a deficit whether you're aware of it or not. My statement still stands.

Are you even aware on the science behind IF(srs)
Please don't post anymore broscience until you do

[adreannalowery]

You eat what you need to fit you.I will eat a salad and I have these stuffed chicken breasts 2 of them like 230 calories and27 protein. Then little later I have been addicted to Wendy's chilli.and some sort of a ice cream or yogurt.I eat between 4 to 8 pm
Lost weight frees up time

Lol I'm far from a broscientist. From the research I've seen, the data is inconclusive at best. Some research shows promising results, but again there isn't enough data to fully support some of the more extravagant claims behind IF. Unless there is some research that I'm unaware of? If there is, please link me to said studies(srs, genuinely interested, not being confrontational)

[Will390]

Yea was wondering similar.I made topic on it earlier in Losing Fat section, http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=145950423

Was wondering on trying it if it will speed up cut when already on a caloric deficit

[yummy22]

All science says is IIFYM thats all that matters for diet, when you eat, how often doesn't matter.

I know those studies are geared toward the old myth of eating 6x a day but the point is still the same.

which are each different variations on intermittent fasting

[Austanian]

Here is how I am running it right now. 18 Hour Fast 6 hour eating period. I break fast at 6pm.

On work out days I eat 1 packet of oatmeal and 2 eggs an hour and a half prior. Post work out I have a 30g 160 cal protein shake.

curious does a non lifting strictly cardio day count as a training day?

Ok mr broscience if IF is made so You can restrict eating to stay in a deficit, why the hell do people bulk while on IF?
Sometimes you stupid people really rustle my jimmies

[MEDITATE]

all this hype for IF, your starving yourself for 16 hours and only have a 7 to 8 hours windows to eat your RDA of calories minus 500 or so, i mean why would someone want to eat one or 2 big meals per day rather then eating 8 small meals

[yummy22]

I eat about 3-4 x regular breakfest lunch dinner and a snack after i workout

[garythesnail]

THIS IS EXACTLY MY PHUCKING POINT. I'm trying to tell you morons that a caloric deficit is not needed to lose weight while on IF
Please stay in school and learn to read properly

Because they eat in a surplus.....? Stupid questions are really, really stupid. Srs. You can eat in a deficit OR surplus when doing IF! Huuurp durp. Way to completely ignore my question and fail to respond to what I asked for. Still no data, sir.



btw, take a look at this. http://www.alanaragon.com/an-objecti...t-fasting.html

Brb 2k calorie surplus expect to lose weight oh lord what has the world come too, full of idiots now. Show me the science I already posted how meal timing is pointless with about 15 scientific journals to back ti up.
