  1. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    ?? about macros. I know the recommendation that on non lifting days or low calorie days they say to up your fat intake and reduce your carbs.

  2. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    I don't have pictures to show. But while on a cut even though I am at a larger deficit, I am losing only 3/4 a pound a week but my strength is slowly improving.

  8. The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    New to this web site and forum and I have just started IF. If you are willing to teach, I am willing to learn. I am only two days but initial thoughts are good so far. I have tried low carb with meals spread out throughout the day and timed based on recommendations. I’ve tried keto as well...
