I have been doing it this summer and i must say i shave seen great results this summer! now grant it as many know i have been bulking up and i hit many goals

1. I can now bench 220 ibs actually can do 235 but only 5 reps so far
2. I cut down on my cardio but now i do more intense sessions but a lot shorter! no more 2 hour intervals on the stair master
3. I made sure to take a rest day! THIS right here is the hardest because i am a bit addicted to the gym... but you got to let your body rest or you won't see the gains you want.

So i do Intermittent fasting and now people may agree or disagree on it but i like it and feel i have seen great results from it.

I Usually don't eat AT ALL past 9 o clock and i skip breakfast and in the afternoon on my break from work i will go to the gym then have a protein shake mixed with fruits.

And i have an 8 hour window where i eat basically and my trainer told me i need to eat more A LOT more since i am trying to gain.

Now of course that doesn't mean go eat some nasty ass McDonald's everyday but he said i do need some carbs since i am 6'5 and a big guy.

I have to say my body has changed a lot during the summer so i feel the results and i feel great! has anyone else done this type of fasting?

Here are 2 pics from 2 week's ago.





Most recent ones from like the past 4 days (You see why i never smile? HORRIBLE)

I've completely removed breakfast from my diet. I've honestly felt much better since. I avoid all desserts and only eat more than lunch and dinner twice a week. I do sometimes slip and go to Dairy Queen but overrall I've never been better!

I know breakfest is the most important meal of the day... but honestly for me having a workout and water for breakfest is what fuels me.

I also never eat deserts the pic up there with my friend is the last time i had ice cream or anything like that. I pretty much have tried to cut out sweets and thing's with a lot of sugar entirely! especially cokes.

Water 24/7

hmmmm

so is it saying...eat from only 10am through to 1800?

that sounds alright

shit those twinsa re funny

Definetly. Water is the only thing I drink. I hate sweets. Not but because they aren't flavourful, but because they're too flavourful for me it's a very hard temptation to resist. Especially if it has chocolate . Why does tasty stuff have to be bad for you

i actually do not like chocolate much... unless it has peanut butter or almonds.

I will have a burger every once and awhile... hmm hmm that protein.

Why we are on fitness subjects... another thing i have had to control is heavy lifting.

I hit my goal of 220 as mentioned but i usually try not ot lift heavy all the time. One day i will day maybe 175 or 160 etc. And maybe once a week lift really heavy! cause if you lift heavy all the time it is going to cause damage to your ankles, back, and other areas.

I am 22 and do not want to be strong as hell but have a fucked up back when i'm 24
