* * * IF (intermittent fasting) Diets - post your opinions and experience here * * *

[greenwell001]

waste of money, even though you appear to be loaded haha. Its about removing any intake of any sort of calories. Yes peopel think they have wiggle room, but why? do it right or dont do it at all. alow your body to addampt to fasting it will teach u alot more about hunger, cravings and eating that is pricless and no one else can teach you this, then that aside the dietairy positive effects it has is a further bonus.

One of the greatest sides of fasting is that your enzyme levels in your gut have ample time to restore, and your liver stays nice and detoxed. If these systems arent working right no amount of gear or diet will get you to your goal. I have been doing IF daily 16/8 for a long time and prob far into the future, of course i cheat on sundays but hey it works for me.

cmon solider! if you are idel you will get hungry stay busy!! do something. , clean something go or for a walk! almost bed time now then you can hit the sack.

if you awake hunger dont break the fast hold out till 11!

11 hours or 11 oclock? IM frivoulsly typing a gyno thread up for the forum to keep busy

[mockery]

when did you start your fast? i was assuming you started it at 11am

[Razor]

Yup 11am

[mockery]

breakfast might be a bitch for you since media has taught us its so important.. yet with no scientific facts supporting, i say **** breakfast.

I met a older man who has been fasting for 20 years, every Wednesday. Its the day his family leaves him alone "grumpy day on the calendar" he doesnt lift or train, he just does it cause it makes him feel better. The guy looks young for his age and in shape. 20 years... must be something worth whiled to stick with it.

OK so do I need to go 16 hours without eating or the full 24? And will doing this 1-2 days a week on the weekend make an differences for me short or long term?

[capetown]

I think u are on the 16/8. The 24 hours are not everyday. There are a few variations of the plan but all have the same effect.

[capetown]

Sorry, just read back. I guess u are on a 24 hr. good luck and stay busy.

Get all zen like and shit with it. dont weigh yourself before or the day after your fast. Just do it! its now apart of your life 1 day a week you will fast for 24 hours to better yourself. Its just part of teh routine now, eat , sleep , shit, fast

just have 10g BCAA's and you should be fine

[mockery]

dont take bcaa before fasted cardio!!!

[mockery]

But feel free to do fasted cardio of course life your life the same, so if you do cardio still do it. Only use the 10g bcaa before resistance training, not cardio thou!!

[mockery]

dont binge just eat your regular daily macros for today.

[mockery]

i will say this, you can take "powdered greens" on a fast as long as they are not mixed with filler that has a calorie count. Greens are the shit.

greens, green tea and water. fast fast

Ok good to know. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to skip the fasted cardio or not..what do you think?

[mockery]

[mockery]

fasted cardio and fasted resistance training is GOOD FOR YOU... you just ate yesterday morning... you're not gonna die or lose muscle or grow a third testicle. Its ok mate! you will be fine

[AXx]

10 minutes down into a 45 minute fasted cardio state for 24 hours, feeling great, tons of energy. I would not even know any different if I had eaten before coming in here or not. Already look a bit leaner after this too, 23 hours and 15 minutes!!

the energy u get in a fasted state is well pretty nifty. it was for me , i was stronger and faster when lifting in a fasted state.

I know it's great!! I just blew past 45 minutes, now going for 60minutes

60 minutes done, 600 cals

[mockery]

if i can add my 2 cents, if you eat right you probaly only need 2 hours cardio a week. and u will find once you get the tren pumping through you ... cardio will suck. maybe 3 40min session a week. somthing to consider.

I break my fast with athletic greens. imo fasting is fasting, nothing but water and lots of it. Any spike in insulin while on fast is no good, ruins the whole concept.

[mockery]

oh have quality greens that wont spike your insulin .

i know i know, it wasnt that much ketchup

[mockery]

1 tbs is what 5 carbs 4 sugar? !!

Ok so my seconds day of IF I did a 17/7

[mockery]

if you only wanna fast on the weekend , just do the 24 hour fast. or you have to program and do the daily fast protocol. its not good for your hormones to random fast from the best of my knowledge.

[mockery]

and from tried and true tested data 2 day a week fasts are not GTG. so look at 24 hour fast - 30 hour fast even 1 time a week. or do you daily 7 days a week. but stick with it for 12 weeks

If I get all my meals in from 9am-7pm then I fast from 7pm to 10am. It should work right

[mockery]

your weekend fast is great cause you can eat Saturday morning till 12pm. so you get breaky and lunch in ya.. fast for 30 hours. breat your fast at 6pm sunday night. you get dinner, another meal and bed time source . then back to normal Monday morning,
