Intermittent Fasting is THE SHIT!

[illuminati]

It's called sleeping.

Yes this.

People have been doing intermittent fasting since day 1.

As stated its Called Sleep.


I know lets re-invent the wheel.

[tom joad]

hard working Getbiggers might sleep for 16 hours a day ... but many people are lucky to get 7 hrs of Zzzzs

[tres_taco_combo]

6-7 meals a day here (some shakes)

it is a current fad it seems?

Intermittent farting is almost the shit

I like doing IF for the first 6-8 weeks of a cutting diet. But then I find I get way too flat and can't even get a pump in the gym (I'd work out then eat my first meal). I notice that those first week or so I can lift heavier weights, but then after that 2 month mark I plateau, I get gassed in the gym easily, and my endurance goes to shit. That's when I switch back to all day eating, fill out, and coast into summer nice and lean 

That's been my experience. Its not a long-term solution for me, but it sure as hell of a great tool to slowly acclimate your body to lower calories without suffering too hard.

interesting so on a cut diet, you would IF for 1 day a week? bbing diet and one day you would eat only late night?

Nothing magical about it. Did it for awhile. Just depends on personal preference.

[ESFitness]

just a re-hashed version of "Animal-o-bolics" or "the mountiandog-dog diet" or "the warrior diet". Nothing new.

Everything works, but nothing works all the time.

[ESFitness]

Speaking of Animal... Whatever happened to that crazy paranoid dude? Or VariX for that matter? I think thenonlyndudes i can remember from then are MassiveG and maybe JethroTull.

I'd do IF every day for 6-8 weeks. I'd start eating around 6pm and stop around 10pm. Consider it one big meal. After those 6-8wks I go back to eating 9am-10pm, 5 meals.

I've been doing it since September. It worked great for a while but it seems like your body adapts and it eventually becomes quite possible to gain fat while on it.

It works less and less, but it never stops working completely. I mean you will eventually gain some weight back but you will never return to your previous weight.

I am the standard 6 meals a day guy so this is all new shit for me

pretty much one big ass meal from 6pm to 10pm....

1. how many cals are you eating in that time frame?
2, moderate protein, moderate carb? fats?
3. any epic shits or cramps or weird body issues? post work out struggle?

You dont know shit about dieting so what is standard 3 meals daily,2 meals daily, the body can only absorb a certain amount of food in a day, you can choose to do it in 3 or 4 or 6 meals doesnt make a difference.

lol! no need to throw hate on a gorgi Sunday Morning. gonna eat in a bit and read the paper (920am here) then go do some cardio and hamstrings/abs

for me, 6 meals works - keeps me full/sane/no long periods of me being hungry.

meal 1 530am
train in AM
meal 2 8am
meal 3 11am
meal 4 2-3 pm
meal 5 5-6pm
meal 6 9-10pm

I have a white collar job, my office is close to my condo, I can come and go as I please etc so its not a hassle for me at all.

I just made a few dietary changes myself and I fully expect to male some outstanding progress on it i.e. losing fat while adding lean muscle tissue to my pecs mostly and a bit more to my arms

basically making my attractive and aesthetic physique even more attractive and aesthetic 😎

No you prove me wrong fuckface you said 6 meals is not the standard so why dont you tell us what the standard is then, you cant because you are a fucking idiot.

[PJim]

Two meals for me, prefer to have a large evening meal so the frequent smaller meals don't intetest me whatsover.

its because there is no standard you fucking moron, eating six times a day is fucking stupid and beyond most people who have lives and work for a living.

and 6 "meals" a day, some people have a fucking apple and an orange and call it a fucking meal.

No post a pic and shut us all up or fuck off.

[cephissus]

"hamstrings and abs"

the things people come up with...

1. Between 2000 and 2500. I have a big appetite...
2. I did keto last time I did this, so high fat, moderate protein. Time before I ate whatever I wanted and didn't count. Results were similar in both instances.
3. Yes, the shits were horrible. My stomach hated me those 2 months. That's a big down side of IF, if your gut can't handle it, you will spend a lot of your night on the toilet. No postworkout issues tho, was just hungry to eat.
