I dropped 45lbs in a year while on IF

I'm sure if I was lifting weights I would have lost more weight..

I've done it for a couple weeks now. The only difference I've felt is that I'm way better at managing my hunger. Before I couldn't concentrate if I was hungry. Now it doesn't bother me as much.

Haven't really noticed any weight changes but I was already skipping breakfast to begin with so I don't think my case is a good example.

Is this a troll or does some retard think 45lbs a year is impressive? My last cut was 30lbs in 3 months.

I cant read between the shitposts anymore. Jow Forums is just a collection of memery now.

>Potatoes, pasta, bread
>BAD

1. They are not bad.
2. That is not intermittent fasting.

To answer your question, if your goal is to find a way to manage a healthy nutrition plan, IMF is a tool you can use to reach that goal.

I was a former fatty that had issues with small meals because I was never satisfied at any point of the day. With IMF, I was able to finally feel full twice a day and still eat healthy.

Try it out for 8 weeks. If it doesn't work, find out another way to make yourself eat the way that you should be.

>My last cut was 30lbs in 3 months
Spotted the fatass. No one NOT ALREADY FAT is losing that amount of weight.
Get fucked faggot.

who are these schedules made for?
- so you're not gonna eat with your family or partner?
- so you're somehow at the gym when you have work?
also
>being in the gym for only one (1) hour

>projecting this hard
Stop being a pussy and cut more than 400kcal a day.

Just saw a podcast today with georges st pierre who said he does intermittent fasting now, feels stronger, is leaner, controls hunger more. I've never done it and he obviously has a bomb nutritionist and training regimen but still, my 2 cents.

>staying in the gym and destroying your muscles for over 1 hr

kek

>wanting to be a skinnyfat retard
I don't understand how I was projecting. You're fat for BEING ABLE to lose that amount of weight.
What about that is hard to understand?

Boosts GH

I know I could have done better..

Rogan can be pretty hit or miss but that episode was wonderful.

If IF is good enough for GSP then its good enough for all of us

This is a great study on Intermittent Fasting, and particularly, its advantages in preserving muscle while at a caloric deficit:

Unless you're on roids you should NOT train longer than an hour. If you are you're training wrong, training slow or just have no fucking clue what you are doing.

ask me how i know you have never done a strength program

Weight 250 two years ago. Currently 210. Always lifted 3 times a week. Hitting full body. All I did was stop eating breakfast. The fat will fall off at your feet while you walk. Just don't be a dumbass and eat a massive lunch and dinner.

I lost 21 pounds in one month doing IF, mind you some of that was water weight because I cut creatine. I was also 185 when I started.

I would suggest actually cutting more than a few hundred calories a day, m8

IMF works but maybe not for the stupid reasons in that graphic. All that stuff about chemical levels and insulin and inflammation is just buzzwords and bullshit. The only thing that matters at the end of the day, to any degree worth caring about, is your intake.

So why does it work? It works because the noon to six on that chart there is the same as saying "I'm going to skip breakfast and not snack in the evenings". That's it. You eat less because you have a firm rule that cuts down the calories.

After doing it for a while, you get used to the routine instead of being moderately hungry all day every day. Your hunger gets brought into check, and the diet reinforces itself.

HOW DO YOU RETARDS HAVE TO ASK IF EVERYTHING IS A FUCKING MEME, NO NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE A GODDAMNED MEME YOU FUCKING IMBECILE BRAINDEAD SUBHUMAN NIGGER "IS DIS A MEEM????" YOU'RE THE FUCKING MEME GROW UP AND FUCKING GET A LIFE WHAT THE FUCK YOU PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MEME MEANS, IF BY MEME YOU MEAN SOMETHING TRENDY THAT RECEIVES MORE ATTENTION THAN YOU THINK IT SHOULD THEN YEAH, IT IS A FUCKING MEME, SUBJECTIVELY EVERYTHING WOULD BE A GOD DARNED MEME BY THAT LOGIC YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT YOU KNOW WHAT, DON'T EVEN BOTHER ON POSTING HERE AGAIN YOU RIDICULOUS, UNDERDEVELOPED PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A PERSON.

this pasta again

He said he wasn't working out at all you mong. Just fasting and doing daily shit. I'm sure if he added a little running he'd had lost far more than that. At least he bettered himself.

agreed

Why does GSP claim he was able to increase his muscle mass while on IMF then?

You can't do that just by reducing your calories in.

i do IF, but i feel it just gives me license to eat more/binge during my eating window

Try it out. Dont depend on people’s experiences. We’re all different. FAGIT
/THREAD/

This is my first day back on Jow Forums after a couple of years.

Are people still "/thread"-ing their own posts? Has that hung around until now, or am I misreading this situation?

I lost 16 lbs in one month, also stabilized myself ,and felt better. Can recommend

>Dont depend on people’s experiences.
Nigga why are you here in the first place. Every thread is about sharing experience and opinions.
