Thread: anyone do intermittent fasting.. leangains, warrior diet etc....

hey nick... i was very skeptical at first too. but it works.. i lost bodyfat while getting stronger. i only did a 450mg a week test cycle right at the beginning of doing lean gains, but it did increase hunger a little if i remember right but not a big deal.

it's just so damn convenient and gets results i don't think i could ever go back.

on vacation last time they had a free buffet at the hotel every night so i didn't eat all day and threw down at the buffet every night.. i swear i came back looking better. i did take bcaa in a drink that i sipped on from about lunch on.

It is really convenient. I've always logged my training do every detail, and the last years also my diet, but getting all those meals every 2-3 hours apart became a challenge six months ago and that's when I found and started reading up on IF.

I do 3 meals on workout days (fasted training, but 10 g BCAA before workout) and 2 meals on rest days. I have my main carb intake in the first meal (post-workout) and taper down on the next two. I also limit my carb intake on rest days. I feel great doing this, even though I've always been a "breakfast person" in the past.

i can only do fasted training on weekends, but it is awesome most of the time unless i have been a little too strict over the week with cals.

so i do about 30% of daily cals at lunch, then train and get the rest of the cals after training ,but some days it don't work out exactly like that i may eat 50% of my cals at lunch. i try not to stress about that so much. but now that i want to get shredded for the summer i'm gonna start trying to get the majority of my cals post workout. and clean up the diet a little.

Carb backloading is were its at IMO

i've got to read up on carb backloading... i've heard people say they get great results, i just don't really know what it is.? lol

I agree gusgus. As far as cutting bf and keeping as much muscle as possible, IF has so far worked best for me. Curious to find out how my gains will be when I start my first cycle.
