Intermittent Fasting and TRT

[Texkota]

Does anyone have any experience with IF combined with a TRT regimen?

I've recently started following the IF philosophy and have seen positive results. I'd like to stick with IF once I start TRT but would like to see if others have had a positive experience combining the two.

I'm currently on a 20 hour fast with a four hour eating window. I workout in my 19th hour and eat immediately after. I'm taking in around 2500 cals daily. I do not want to bulk up, I'd go AAS for that, in fact I need to drop about 40 pounds. I've dropped 16 pounds on IF with no noticable muscle loss and I've seen gains in my lifts. I also take 1 cheat day a week, usually Saturday; though I stay away from the cake and ice cream, everything else is pretty much on the menu, I do not fast and I take in around 4500 cals.

IF is definitely not for everyone, especially at the 20 hour fast level, but it's working for me.

trt is to get a person's hormone levels into the normal range... so IF eating style will have no effect on the hormone levels..

it's as though you were "normal" and doing the IF routine..

Thanks Spy, makes total sense. Sometimes answers really are simple.

Im 23, been on TRT for 3 years now and have been IF'ing for 2 years and my blood levels have only improved since switching to this way of eating. There is probably little correlation between the two but I see no harm in IF and TRT as long as you're eating enough in your feeding window.
