Intermediate Fasting???

[Sheet Metal Maniac]

I wanted to see what you guys thought about IF, as far as weight loss and keeping muscle? Has anybody tried it?

I don't think it's a good idea. Once you start fasting your body will start to go into "starvation mode" storing calories as fat and slowing down your metabolism. I think you will see results opposite of what you're looking for.

Don't listen to the guy above me. He is obviously clueless to the actual science and experience backing IF.

All of the info you need can be found in my thread. Check it out http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/d...mittent-fasting-discussion-thread-947273.html

IF treated me very well. Try it.

When I first went on a cut I tried IF with amazing success then I actually ended up liking it so much that I do it as part of my everyday diet now. I am the kind of person that LOVES to eat so I find putting my eating window in a small time frame where I can eat a lot more helps prevent me from bing eating. Those small meals every 2-3 hours were like teases to me, and always led me to binge eat.

I also find that going to the gym in a fasted state with a pre workout gives me FAR more energy than I ever had before as far as losing muscle goes, I have yet to lose any. I've been making all kinds of gains.... all kinds!
