The power of intermittent fasting
- Thread starter (0_0)..l.. finger
- Start date
Think this is week 3 or 4 for me. Totally forgot. I learned to prep a bowl of fruit at 12:50 because when I started I would pig out on anything in my sight at 1. Within the calories but I didnt like being so full so soon ao the fruit is a nice way to gradually start eating.
A few questions...do yall every deviate from your schedule..like if you out at 11pm and your window ended at 8.
Ive also read that a protein drink counts as eating...if i workout early in the morning and have a postworkout shake at 6, but my window doesn't begin until 8am...how does that work??
I want to see if i Can drop 20 lbs before september..

Brah if you want to gain weight it is simple. Eat and then go to sleep.
That is why I'm in this thread now. A couple of months ago I was hovering just under 230 lbs. I am now down to 209 lbs. My goal is to get to under 190 lbs. I am exactly 6ft tall so being around 230 lbs. was not a good look for me which is why I am doing this fast now. Also I have an ectomorph body type so I need to be slim.
I fast at least 6 days a week, if you have anything with calories outside of your window then you break the fast. Only day I real go ham is Saturdays. When I'm not in my eating window then I'm 100% water and that's it
Thanks fam!
Keep up the good work, everyone.
Gotta be VERY careful doing this as a diabetic. Because your Blood Sugar can get too low and that can cause all kinds of problems..
I been upping my hiit and regular cardio along with the boxing, my main been looking at me like damn, I told her ass to get on it with me. On the weekends I really go ham, but come mondays I'm fasting with meat, salad, fruit, Greek yogurt and water and bcaa's
That's a large window after your last meal where you're eating nothing. If this is your first go at it I don't think that's the best thing to do. Maybe you want to start your window at 10 or 11am, if you can hold out...
i've added more compound lifts like deadlifts and power cleans, also upped the cardioresults are addicting as well, keep up the good work fellas
I just got home from the gym from doing squats, deadlifts, hang cleans and lunges and finished it off with 5 rounds of jump rope
I'm hungry. Time for that fourth meal!
I unknowingly break my fast every morning. 
Have been doing now for close to 3 weeks! Man this is the truth.
My first week instead of running 3-4 times, I ran EVERY SINGLE day. It was nuts, my energy was up high. Im eating 2-10pm. I really haven't been eating super clean but I haven't had beef in over 10 years, and only eat lean meats anyway. So my not super clean is clean for others.
I only get hungry like maybe 11-1130 or so. I drink tons of water, and have had several customers tell me Im looking good. Ive been a runner for the last 3 years so Ive been shedding lbs but even my skin is glowing, my mind is way sharper as well.
Good looking on this thread. Appreciate it.
One thing, my first week when I ate at 2pm I would eat like I just got out of jail lol. Now I eat regular and honestly its usually one meal a day, then couple smoothies and like some snacks.

I'm on a 2pm-10pm eating window. I finally broke the below 210lbs mark a few days ago. I am now coming for that below 205lbs mark. 20 more lbs. to go to 185lbs. Not bad since I was sitting around close to 230 lbs. at the beginning of April.
You get what you pay into this diet...
If you just looking to lose weight and still eat essentially what you want, this is for you. If you looking to shred the fuck up, this is also for you. With a proper execution of this diet, exercise, and some light cardio you'll be looking good and slim in no time.
Since I'm at my goal weight, and the abs looking good (could be better, but they're there) I can relax a bit. I'm on my diet 5 days, off 2. Today is off day number one. I'm at brick house tavern, drinking a St Arnold's Summer Pils, waiting on this fattening Philly cheese steak to get here....
I'll get back on track Sunday. Tomorrow is cheesecake factory and the launch of the city renowned cupcake kitchen. Can't wait to knock off that 3rd Ward classic!

Within your window...how many meals do you eat?
Number of meals really doesn't matter...
You need to be focused on hitting your macros and caloric intake in that window.
