Intermittent Fasting

MaestroLogical · 2019-02-12T09:04:27+00:00

I've been doing this for the last 22 years without even realizing it.

Once I started smoking weed my appetite vanished.

I typically only eat once a day, sometimes I skip that and just have some chocolate. Usually my one meal a day is crap like taco bell or Chinese.

I'm 38, 5 foot 10 and 170lbs. Feel great every day and never get sick.

Definitely not off topic OP. This subreddit shouldn’t be just about posting memes and talking about women. It also be about us trying to help other guys out there going their own way lead better lives. Weather it’s in regards to their health or their wealth

Fasting works best on keto as being in ketosis (a fat burning state) is what keeps you from being hungry.

I do OMAD, one meal a day which is 23/1, and it's just 1lb of ground beef (drain off all the fat) and a bag of broccoli every day around noon. It's about ~700 cals and I burn ~2700 with no exercise other than walking around, that's 2000 cal deficit daily. Lost 3.5% of my bodyfat in ~2.5 weeks. This is called a protein saving fast, so you don't lose too much muscle as you lose fat. I'm losing about 66% fat, 33% muscle on this plan, going to experiment with some weights 3x a week to see if that can lower the muscle loss even more.

Also look up snake juice and have some that each day if you do this. And get keto strips and pH strips, if your urine gets too acidic you can get some pain from uric acid crystals which you can fix with alkalizing drinks that dissolve these crystals (baking soda, lemon juice, ACV)

I found IF to help in weight maintenance, but not necessarily in losing fat. Keto is still best for fat loss IMO.

First few days are be challenging. You'll definitely feel the hunger. But once your body adjusts, it's as if you've been doing it your whole life.

Eating window need not be strictly fixed. My last meal of the day is usually not at a fixed time depending on if I'm eating out or at an event. So I usually just use my phone timer. After supper, I set it up for 16 hours and wait for it to alert me when it's time to eat again.

I fast two days a week. Actually a little longer - eat Sunday dinner, next meal is Wednesday late lunch/early dinner, resume three meals a day on Thursday.

Habit I got into for health benefits. If there are any, I don't really notice them. It's purely the challenge, a discipline exercise for me. Something I like pushing through and achieving. So for me, it's done purely for the mental benefit.

I've been doing it for about 6 months since I started my new job, just simplifies things. I do an 18/6 fast as well and I'm down about 48lbs. I haven't done any other dramatic changes besides using the stairs more often and I don't really eat overly healthy during my feed windows.

Aza383 · 2019-02-12T05:37:48+00:00

I don't believe in fasting but I've cut out gluten/most carbs and had great results. The body needs nutrients so I don't see why fasting has a benefit unless you are eating shit and need to detoxify.

PrinceRaj53 · 2019-02-12T10:15:21+00:00

Yeah. I have not eaten anything since 2 days. Its my 3rd day today. I frequently do this. As a part of our culture, people do this for the betterment of themselves and their loved ones. Its called upobah in my place. It helps me to keep myself in check so yeah, very helpful. This time I'm doing this for mom actually.

Currently at 16-17% bodyfat.

Started at 24-25%.

Goal is 10-13%.

Lost around 10kg so far in almost 3 months(lifting weights so i expect some muscles to be gained also)

16/8 fasting(eating window 12am to 8pm)

Oh, and i workout every lunch in fasted state. Usually pop a proteinshake with aminoacids pre-workout.

Chicken/fish/meat or whatever protein that suits you - Brownrice - Broccolomix, 6 days a week/2 times a day.

2-3 liter water a day.

Alcohol max once a month. Cardio 2 days/week.

Never felt better, energy for work is not a issue since im a software developer so im sitting on my ass everyday. Haven't got sick in 6 months.

Best thing that I ever discovered. Truly a life changer. I you can eat a Paleo type diet with intermintent fasting, you'll be shredded and feel like Superman.

Bad_Driver69 · 2019-02-12T17:35:04+00:00

I find that eating at night makes you gain. Eating in the morning is usually burned.

I started doing 23 hour fast (basically Omad) after a couple of days it felt natural. Combining a low carb Diet (under 100g, only from vegs) i lost 30kg in 6 months. Very effective, also you have more time to do what you want.
