Intermitted Fasting

[tescione]

I do IF and I was wondering if I took my DSN PreWorkout pills before my workouts would it break my fast?

[lucia316]

Does it have calories? If so, it's going to break your fast. If not, you're fine.

I searched a lot about the supplements allowed for fasted exercise as a beginner, I do some fasted weight exercises, some say you are allowed for 10-15 calories of your supplements, but think about it our bodies will be out of glycogen after 30 min of weight lifting exercise and if you don't have BCAA in your blood it will use both fat and muscle for energy, I usually take L carnetine on empty stomach then C4 or Api hustle with Glutamine and creatine, then BCAA 10 min before exercise, and I sheded a lot of body fat although I almost do 0% cardio.

Please never give advice again.

Really depends who you ask but IMO anything that has a calorie or would effect insulin is a no go when I want to remain fasted. Plenty of people recommend BCAA consumption while fasting though, so it all depends on your goals as how "fasted" you want to be.

Please never give advice again.

LoL

Dude, your advice was pretty bad. A bit more research will benefit you.

Maybe I was wrong, the advice was from the personal traine, but if you you postponed your first meal 7 hours from the end of that exercise to break your fast, isn't that enough to shed some fat?

That's not how the body works. Just because you don't eat for a few hours doesn't mean that the body starts utilizing adipose tissue for energy.

You could get shredded by just fasting...too bad so much muscle goes with it that way...

I have been told that if BCAA is in your blood stream, the body will use fat for energy, no?

I have a multipage writeup on this that would explain everything. But my site is still in production. In about 2 months Ill give you a very detailed answer.

Short answer: no, thats not how it works

I'm a big fan of PSMF if you don't care about athletic performance. I use it frequently and have modified my own diet off of it to maintain at 10% for the summers.

You've been told complete nonsense. I hope you aren't paying this person for advice.

Not the fastest way to build muscle for sure, but you don't lose muscle. Would love to know where you are getting your info from.

Continuous fasting, not intermittent.

If you think intermittent fasting has any specific effect on lipolysis you are mistaken.

Right, and IF is not superior (in regards to fat loss) to continuous feeding given both diets maintain a calorie deficit.

There is also zero reason to ever take BCAAs

No prob, we all make mistakes.

If you are paying this "trainer," stop doing so immediately.

I love IF personally, but I struggle with appetite issues. For me it's more convenient and helps me from being doubled over in hunger pain at times, or constantly fighting to keep my blood sugar up so I don't feel like death.
