Intermittent fasting

[Njlifter693]

Been researching this for awhile now wanted to see if anyone had any experience with intermittent fasting. Kind of seems like a sneaky way of restricting calories overall but some say it has many health benefits. If anyone has ever tried this or known someone who has I would love to hear opinions on it.

Intermittent fasting can be extremely successful for results on body composition when done correctly. I had great success with it. It also does have some very good health benefits. Here is a writeup I did on it.

Thanks for the great read. When would you recommend someone strength train in there fasted window or after there first meal

Generally it's recommended to train at the end of the fasted window however that's not always possible, I eat two meals before evening training then a final meal after training session

It's really up to you. When I did it, I trained fasted. If you do train fasted, you want to take BCAAs before training to keep protein synthesis going.

Wherever your training falls, you want your post workout meal to be your largest. With a good 50% or more of your daily intake of carbs and protein.

I’m doing intermittent fasting right now. I eat from 12-8pm. I avoid eating anything that spikes my blood sugar until after 2pm. I generally eat complex carbs at the end of my eating window so that I have energy the next day to train. When I train in the morning I do eat afterwards however it’s only high protein and high fat. So far this is working pretty well.

Nice bro. Thetes different ways to go about things, and I'm all for everyone adapting things to fit their best interests as long as it stays within the main principles of the program

First day doing it felt fine fasting wasn't bad at all. I did train in my fasted window and it wasn't the best felt fatigued rather quickly but could just be cause I'm not used to it yet.

Just had my first meal of the day gonna train in a couple hours hoping for better results.
