My 2nd round of IF (intermittent fasting)

[gbrice75]

Sounds like some good rest GB, I'm looking forward to see how your training goes come Monday.

Are you incorporating a 24hour fast day as mentioned earlier in your thread? Also will your Sat/Sun meals be including more carbs i.e. 50% of cals from carbs on weekends? I know in the beginning of this thread you mentioned you would be doing a carb cycling type of combination with your IF.

Still considering the 24 hour fast... here's the truth: I'm not going to be as anal as I was last year... it wound up causing a lot of problems for me and my family. As such, I don't expect i'll be as lean as I was in my avy... I accept that. With that in mind, I will not be fasting at all on Saturdays... call it a cheat day if you want... I don't plan to go nuts but I am not really going to worry either. If I eat a burger, I eat it. If I don't, great. I would LIKE to fast all of Sunday until Monday 12pm (so it'd be more like a 36 hour fast actually) to help offset this 'cheat day'. I also think it'll help prime me for Monday's workout and subsequent fast breaker later that day. The issue is... can I make it 36 hours? More specifically, can I make it through Sunday (another weekend day where i'm home, leisure time, with friends, etc) without eating? That remains to be seen, but I am going to try.

Only one way to find out...

If the weekend is difficult maybe 24 fast monday and break it tuesday?

Fasting on Monday would be MUCH more doable... but i'd rather not fast 24 hours through a workout day. Argh!!!

I just recently changed my off days to Sun/Mon vice Sat/Sun, seems like everybody and there mother wants to workout on Mondays and Saturdays it's completely empty.

You're right though, not a good idea to 24 fast on a workout day.
