im sure im depleting some muscle glycogen but not all of it.. i have learned thru experience it is an unnecessary tool. it can be effective but requires too much work IMO..
right now i am maintaining weight and bf% for the most part fasting EOD fro waking until dinner. approx 12hrs after waking and 21-24hrs from when i ate my last meal the night before. i also only do cardio on my fasting days. i usually do 30-60mins depending how i feel. mostly LISS - moderate but sometimes intervals, also depending how i feel.
also depending how i feel i will fast 2 days in a row if i think i need to offset some cals and carbs. on my training days i usually eat 4500cals and 500g carbs, 400+g protein.. id like to note i dont necessarily think i need all that protein and carbs i just love to eat! LOL.. and it def cant hurt IMO.. now that ive been doing HIT training with drop sets to failure and rest pause i am a lot more hungry PWO..
ive also been enjoying a fair amount more fruit in my diet.. something i have missed and an element i feel comfortable playing with now to see how far i can go with it and if it really deserves the stigma associated with it..
its time to test the waters so to speak..
