I do 24 hour fasting 2x a week
I LOVE IT!!!
The days I IF I feel very energetic, motivated to stay busy, supper empowered from my self-control and I drop weight these days

I did a lot of research on it before I started and didn’t quite buy into the fact that I could pull it off 12hours never mind 24 2x a week! but its easy!
The research I found was motivation for me, I found a bunch of supporting data/studies concerning mass amounts of benefits, women respond a lill diff to it though and that why I chose the 24hour period.


FYI...you may also wanna check out Ice water therapy if you’re interested in cutting. 30min ice pack on back of neck or ice bath...
I have been looking into this for a lill bit and plan on adding it to my sched this Monday

I heard that also cools off the libido when yer partner says "not tonight babe!"

To a certain degree, you have to be careful with these articles. Most if not all are geared up for the average joe off the street. Not for weight lifters or body builders. We are different. With caloric requirements at almost twice that of JOTS (joe off the street), and the goals we impose upon ourselves, (anabolic vs catabolic state), fasting flies contrary to what we are trying to do. For example, by fasting one day a week, this would mean we are in a catabolic state for aproximately 14% of the time (1/7). Muscle pretty much does not have much of an opportunity to grow during a catabolic state.

Just something to think about....

PS. You did say when you are cutting down. hmmm.... yeah, well... just forget what i just said.

As a blanket statement this is completely false.

Ok.. i'll concede. but if no protein intake, how else would you describe it?

I remember reading it on leangains, it's called ADF (alternate day fasting).
