Where the hell is that god damn carb cycling thread???

Yes sir IF is intermittent fasting. 16hr fast with an 8hr feeding window. Leangains dot com will give you all the info you need on it. I have done it and liked it.

Sounds interesting, but I tend to shy away from anything that involves complete fasting for fear of muscle loss. You might be suspecting my next question is: did you see any muscle loss while doing this?

Actually NO. There are a couple of good threads on that as well. Fatman had a pretty intense turn around while using gear and doing IF. GBrice has used it several times. I went from 23% bf to 15% in about 2 1/2-3 months while doing IF. Gains in the gym were steady while not using gear. No muscle loss.

I will entertain this carb cycling in February I think it a great tool. Most of my BB/stage show guys that I'm buddies with use this method for their insane cuts before a show.

Well aint' that interesting.

Makes me want to attempt it. Do you have a log that you did that I could perhaps check out to get an example of how to go about doing IF?

I might want to give IF a shot after i'm done my carb cycling run.

Well GURU! You have done both right? Which would you say is more effective for fat loss with the least muscle wasting???

well technically what im doing now is ADF (alternate day fasting) and not IF. however i did not lose any muscle on the carb cycle either. personally i am seeing better results (leaner) with the ADF than the carb cycle.

the carb cycle is good IMO and many have great success with it and i actually cycle carbs as well as fast.. the type of carb cycle i did before was a glycogen depletion carb cycle which would not have worked under the same conditions as this article above.

personally i think i have found the new improved method of diet for myself. am still only in week 5 so itll be a little while before i can say without question but i am leaner now than ive been ever and get to eat 3500cals + 350g carbs EOD.

also i am getting stronger while losing fat and weight..

So you are below the dreaded 7.8% bf now. Lol

How lean we talking here? ADF. Hmmmm never heard of it but I think I like it.
