Why does TRP support intermittent fasting?

It’s a easy way to lose weight since you have less meals if you are a big guy though or bulking it’s impossible for me to get enough calories in on two meals.

Depends who you ask. I'm all for IF if you're obese or have slower metabolism, but for skinny people, or if you're bulking, it's utter trash.

It’s pretty cool ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Gives your body a break, optimizes fat burning and brain function slightly.

Research effects of 30 day fast on body and you’ll need blown away, intermittent fasting is like a nano-version of some of those benefits

Ive been doing it for about 8 years now, usually 20-22 hours fasting each day (though weekends I tend to do less). I go to the gym fasted and see routine escalation of my lifts and no strength loss unless I slept like shit. It keeps my weight in check and allows me to quickly remove excess fat from eating bad stuff (which I’ve done for the last few weeks). I can attest that it absolutely works but I still eat very healthy during my non-fasted hours. When I ate unhealthy stuff during my non-fasted times I would not lose weight or see any benefits.

It’s basically just eating less food in a controlled way.

In my experience, it's a great way to cut. But I wouldn't work out while fasting. Working out 30 min to an hr after a meal works well for me.

Fasting is healthy

Because it’s an easier way to cut calories than eating many meals with lower calories, you feel more satisfied with IF because they meals you do eat are bigger

Intermittent fasting is totally a fad diet. Same with keto, same with Paleo, same with all of this shit. It's just about fitness mags and blogs hopping on the next best thing so they can get your views/attention. "Everything you've been doing so far is WRONG, why X is what you need"

Find the diet that works for you, and stick to it. The best diet is one that fits your lifestyle, and you can replicate 6/7 days. You might slip up, but if it's because the diet is 'impossible' to keep, then choose a different one. Those same people who do whole 30, lose 5 lbs, then gain it all back and then some. Best diet is a mindset, is a healthy lifestyle.

From what I've read, intermittent fasting especially in the morning when doing a HIIT workout targets fats cells better. But then, my nutritionist was like - carbs are fuel, so if you want high quality workouts, you're going to need to fuel well right before (aka breakfast).

So really, there are so many opinions, and so many different diets out there, you gotta make sure you're doing one your wholly invested in. Eat fresh foods, low ingredient list stuff, less canned and preserves, and calories in, calories out. Stick to the fundies and what works for you. Intermittent fasting could help you est less, so it could help you regulate wait; perhaps that is why it's working for you.

Anyway, I probably gave you more than you bargained for. Enjoy.

Intermittent fasting doesn’t do shit. Calories in, calories out. That’s it.
