In the last two weeks I went Tue,Wed,Thur on one meal a day.
lost around 8lbs,I would get very tired by the end of the three days and I felt flat.no pump to my muscles unless I was lifting or just finished.
What, specifically, were you eating, and at what time of day?
I think one meal per day may be a little excessive. Optimal results seem to be achieved by eating
throughout the 8-hr window. One of my goals of this thread is to not only learn
WHO has tried IF, but also to examine the finer details of
HOW they used it.
There's a good bit of science to support the benefits of this protocol; even with regards to bodybuilders.
I just need more anecdotal feedback before being brave enough to try it for an extended period.
To many folks, the words "fasting" and "muscle preservation" don't go together. Although, the cascade of different mechanisms this method triggers seem to make sense - particularly the hormonal aspect.
The Bodyrecomposition article is also doing a thorough job of convincing me.
