Intermittent Fasting

Ive been on IF for a week now and I'm really starting to see what all the fuss is about. I'm seeing results after such a short about of time on this 'lifestyle choice'

See how i say lifestyle choice over diet, because IF is NOT a diet, you are still getting the calories that you need through out the day, but you re just getting them in a shorter eating window.

So what is intermittent fasting you ask?

Intermittent Fasting is basically giving yourself a window in which to consume your calories.
for instance, personally over the last week i have been giving myself a 5 hour window between 3pm and 8pm to take in my days worth of calories.

But as long as you are 'fasting' for a longer period than you are eating, you will see results!
Most people opt for a 10-6 or 12-8 eating window and then fasting for 16 hours.

For me personally, I'm on a cut, and my maintenance calorie intake would be 2200, but Ive cut that by about 500-800 calories each day (caloric deficit) to see more in my fat loss.

Training 'Fasted'

fasted simply means, in your non eating window. 

So training fasted means, training on an empty stomach, and i will try to explain the advantages.

If you have a banana for instance, or a carb based meal before you train, when you are in the gym your body is going to burn the carbs that you have just consumed, thus not burning as much fat.

But if you train Fasted, your body is going straight to your fat cells to get its energy.

Meaning you're burning a whole load more of that FAT!!

And when you do break your fast, get some good protein in your meal, and your body is going to suck that up, and you're going to make ALL KINDS OF GAINS....... ALL KINDS.

If you're serious about making a change in your life and losing that last bit of stubborn belly fat, or getting lean, give IF a try!!

All of this is just advice, do whatever the FUCK you wanna do!
