How to begin intermittent fasting?

[Seccoh]

Hey everyone, this is my first post on here. Have been looking into intermittent fasting and am keen to see how I go with it. I was just wondering how to start it though? I don't plan on beginning now, but after my next bulk. What I mean is, should I have a couple weeks of maintenance before starting it? Or just jump right into it?

Skip breakfast

Skip breakfast

Jump right into it.

[PBateman2]

Can go right into it.

Wait a couple weeks, evaluate, and see if it's right for you.

Technically this is impossible if you intend on surviving.

It's more of a joke, because I'm aware of what they actually mean.


However if you take the LITERAL meaning of "BREAKFAST" meaning to 'Break ones fast', skipping it would mean you NEVER eat...if you never eat, you die.

Eat when you prefer to.

IF is fasting for 16hrs and eating your macros for 8hrs basically.

Like anyone who does it, to get lean after a bulk. I've noticed a lot of people tend to get leaner faster than someone on the standard 6-8 meals a day, plus it would help with the hunger I get between meals.

Fasting for 16 hours per day has zero proven beneficial effects on fat loss. In fact a study has shown that it slightly increases resting expenditure.

Some people get less hunger with IF, some people report higher alertness. Some people feel cold and cranky. Something to try for yourself.

6 to 8 meals are not standard by the way, they're standard bro science.

I don't understand why you are pointing out that it slightly increases resting energy expenditure when you are saying that it has zero proven beneficial effects on fat loss?
