I fasted to help me with slight fatty liver diagnosis, It also helped me through a weight plateau, im coming down then hill not climbing it as I age, and I want to continue to train the same and eat the same but its forcing me to hold a bodyweight I don't want to, with a good moderately clean diet I held around 250 at 6 foot , with fasting I managed to get to 238 and have my fatty liver improve considerably.
I trained at 4am didn't eat anything post workout which killed mentally, first meal was 9 am last meal 5pm, so fasting period each day was 16 hours.
Held that weight for a few years, then used some TRT recently ( 100mg week ) and put weight back on and I am now reattempting the process after cutting the TRT, I want to get to 230, TRT Is great but I just don't appreciate the weight gain and negative impact on resting heart rate. I can go from 59-62 to 72 with that weight gain and TRT use,which might be a valuable observation for someone.
