FIT Leangains - Anyone doing this?

[RumpleForeskin]

I don't know if I could not eat until the afternoon every day. Every thing I've read has told me breakfast should be one of your biggest meals. Is there really a difference between me getting 3200 cals throughout the day or at specific times?

 

[subwoofer]

just do it pussy

 

[Adom]

what are you trying to achieve mr. foreskin?

 

[RumpleForeskin]

210 & 15%. Want to get to 230 and under 20% eventually. I just don't want to be an asshole every morning at work waiting to eat unless it gets me mad gains. Plus the site looks like one giant ad. I guess I'm not sold on this fasting shit.

 

[subwoofer]

you mean 10%?
lean gains is the shit. ive been shedding fat faster than a melting ice cream cone

 

[RumpleForeskin]

Ideally, 10% and shredded like a julian salad @ 230 would be great. But I don't need to shed fat right now and just want to gain to 230 and not bulk to to 275 and spend a lot of time cutting 45lbs of fat. Plus I hate looking like a fatass.

Where on the site does it layout the actual diet?
I've seem him link to a couple different IF options, but didn't see what he is actually recommending for his clients.

 

[subwoofer]

there is no actual diet
he gives you a paradigm on when to eat: an 8 hour window.

your diet is what you eat. eat healthy, how hard is that?

 

[subwoofer]

everyone is different and has different schedules, so do what works best for you. if you can train fasted, do it.

 

[RumpleForeskin]

I just don't know if the IF stuff is worth it. I figured cals a day is cals a day, no matter when you eat them.

[kit99bar]

been doing it for 9 months. down to low teens bf% from low twenties. It's great!

this type diet works great for natty guys, and I've seen guys on test/gh really transform themselves doing it. Also he suggests taking BCAA's, just scrape that and take plain ol leucine. There is competition for amino uptake and you want the most important one (leucine) to get absorbed.

ionium is apparently a success story

You'll get used to not eating until the afternoon. However, I have found that I become satiated much more easily if I wait until the afternoon to eat. If I eat breakfast, it's much easier to stay hungry throughout the day and of course there is more time to fit calories in.

I did it for a bit, was hard the first few weeks but not too bad. I have a desk job so my energy expenditure is quite low. I drank black coffee to keep the hunger away and drank a lot of water.

The feeding window was hard to fit all my calories in, I was force feeding a lot.

I do a modified version of it I guess.
I workotu in the AM, I eat my feast meal after I workout liek you normally would and my window starts then, then it closes at 5pm and I don't eat again until post workout.

I have gotten amazing results while lifting and doing IF. I just can't follow his model because of work/personal life schedules, so I stick to mine. Maybe somebody can chime in with nutrient timing information and the value of it in the IF scenario VS eating early but in the same pattern.

 

[subwoofer]

i think as long as you get your calories within the 8 hour period you are ok. doesn't matter if you eat all your calories within the first hour, within 4 hours, 5 or 8... the 8 hour window closes exactly 8 hours after the first meal...

jebus what are you doing that's different?

 

[1stblackx]

Fuck that, I get mad irritable when I don't eat for long periods of time.

 

[subwoofer]

u mad bro?

 

[fatmoocow]

I have a friend who is doing the modified warrior http://articles.elitefts.com/articles/nutrition/the-modified-warrior-diet/

She eats a 1/2 pint of icecream per day and loses weight. It's sounds dumb as shit, but when a hot girl is telling you how well it works, it's pretty convincing.

Problem I see is that a lot of people just don't get enough protien on it.

 

[Jebus]

jebus what are you doing that's different?

I don't follow his "windows"
I wake @ 6am
take BCAA
hit gym @ 7:30
Have my shake after gym(9AM)
maybe grab a bar for mid day snack
Have "feast meal" in afternoon(around 3) but after my 8 hour window from taking the shake...I stop.


seeing amazing results. just had to get used to the timing was all.
