anyone had good success with this method?
bro its worth the try, your not consuming anyless calories, you just have a different feeding window.i'd believe what the 265 pounder says above others.....good luck with your fast
you think you can post them for us pleeeeeeeeeaseIF can be effective for both fat loss and muscle building. But it's cool. Dont be caught up with the latest research on fat loss, meal frequency, meal timing, catabolism, etc.
I am always wary of these claims. As far as insulin sensitivity goes, I don't notice any reduced insulin requirements until about 3 days of sustained calorie reduction.And it raises insulin sensitivity and raises growth hormone levels too. But who would want that? :crazy:
They are all over leangains.comyou think you can post them for us pleeeeeeeeease
agreed. after you get to 10% thats when it gets rough.Sorry but we tend to make fat loss too complicated. If you are trying to go from 8% to 5% bf then yes, every factor counts. If you are going from 20% + down to 15% or whatever....then it is simple. Lean meats, veges and limited carbs and count your calories......calorie deficit. We get all caught up in the freakin details when very few of us even need to. Just my opinion.
honestly in that range you don't even have to limit carbs, just make good carb choices.If you are going from 20% + down to 15% or whatever....then it is simple. Lean meats, veges and limited carbs and count your calories......calorie deficit.
Some of the principles are sound, and I have implemented them myself, as well as for several other members on this board in my fasted training protocol. In my approach, though, I tend to focus on the period with the highest availability and recrutiment of IMTGs and FFAs for oxidative metabolism, and tailor my training to most efficiently utilize this availability. This is of course in the morning, after nocturnal lipolysis.
The research on fasted-state training is promising, not only in respects to the availability of oxidative substrates I just mentioned, but also in terms of post-training glycogen resynthesis (in the form of increased expression of glycogen synthase), GLUT4 expression, down-regulation of acetyl-CoA-carboxylase, malonyl-CoA, and the obvious increase in carnitine polmitoyltransferase 1 (the rate-limiting step in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids).
This being said, many of these changes are the result of skeletal muscle contraction-induced AMPk phosphorylation, so it is difficult to say whether or not an "intermittent fasting" period would derive the same benefit as a transient fasted training period.
