Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting for less than 24 hours is a “meme” in the sense that it doesn’t do anything magic, but it can reduce total calories because you eat less. It works for many people.

Intermittent or sporadic fasting for 24 hours or more puts you in ketosis, which is great.

Can't you be in Ketosis before the 24 hour mark?

ketosis begins when your liver is depleted of glycogen.
this usually takes ~24 hours in adapted individuals.

I just don't eat one day out of the week, that works for me.

When people say 1/2/3/4 , they mean for working reps right ? Not 1rm

Anecdotal, but I just feel better mentally when I do IF - only fasting til 12 but might ramp it up if I can.
Haven't lifted since 2016 though :X

>is it a meme?
yes, the father of "leangains" aka IF for bodybuilding even admits it, the key is high p rotein intake, not fasting
fasting is for fat se dentary dumb sedentary westerners, not for people that are intelligent and physically active

it is a meme
HAHAHAHAHAHA you

one would only hope
unfortunately, these weak fucks mean 1rm

Not magic in regards to weight loss but it have other health benefits because it allows your digestive system to rest.

See Some people are less and you can deplete glycogen faster with exercise, but generally if you IF for less than 24 hours you’re spending most of that time on glycogen.

T. mom
I mean that sounds like momscience. Do you have a source or something?

I’m not denying the possibility of other benefits. But I think the main benefit is that it makes calorie cutting easier. When I’m on a cut I usually skip breakfast and feel pretty good.

Starvation is the best state to be in the wild
t. read it from a manga

Its definitely not. Lost 10 kg doing it.
M8 you're like 20% bf.

Fasting tactics are MEMES. Just fucking eat less, it dosent matter when you eat. You will lose weight.

should i do IF if i'm already underweight?it's nice only having to eat like once or twice a day but it's hard to predict adequate macros. i ate like 3k calories yesterday & i'm still fucking hungry

I've been doing 16:8-22:2 IF consistently since November. Haven't tried anything longer.

>Dropped 30 pounds by the end of January (5'9", went from 190 to 160), and I've kept it off while making noob gains in SL5x5.

>More importantly, it's changed my relationship with food. I used to always have to have food around, and often ate every couple hours. Now I realize I can go a very long time doing physically demanding things without food, which is unironically liberating. You just go about your day without having to lug around a bunch of food.

IF has been shown in animal studies to produce the same life lengthening abilities as caloric restriction.
just to name one.
there's some JRE clips where his guests get into some of the mamy benefits of it.

Dr Rhonda Patrick would be one, she have her own podcast going into the science of different health topics like IF, cold showers etc.

Were the animals in the studies going into ketosis?
Fasting is definitely proven to be beneficial. I’m just talking about the length of interval.

What manga? I want to read it too.
