>What's weird about fasting and bulking at the same time?
I don't know, user. What's weird about pushing your shoe laces to tie them?
Normies
Are you retarded? The fasting part of IF isn't meant for weight loss - it's simply a healthier way of consuming your food.
It happens to help with weight loss but that doesn't mean that it is intended for that.
IF works the same for all amounts of food - whether your bulk, maintain or cut.
IF is the absolute best way to lose all your muscle mass. Unless you are on roids or do some sort of semi-fast where you still ingest BCAA or protein, prepare to lose gains.
It´s great if you are obese tho then just keep at it
What? You have 8 hours to eat and you litterally eat at maintenance of even bulk.
Why exactly would you lose muscle mass when you are hitting your TDEE or even surpassing it?
And even if you cut on IF, why would you lose more muscle mass eating 300 deficit on IF than on any regular diet?
Eating food raises your blood sugar and raises other neurochemicals eliciting wakefulness in turn. Eating gives you an energy boost, leading to doing more hopefully. Really not that hard guys.
>Also, for you lifters who never seem to get lean and lose tons of muscle during cuts: You are insulin resistant. Fix it.
I'm coming up on my first cut and am worried about losing strength, teach me your wisdom user.
The only thing that eating in the evening/night does is make you sleep worse, why? Because it gives the body something to work with when it's supposed to hibernate.
It doesn't make you fatter
It doesn't increase chances of catching autism
It just makes you sleep worse, not in a noticable way at first, but it just fucks with how the sleep works in terms of the melatonin production etc.
It's bs. You'll use up glycogen during a cut and that removes mass from the muscle. It's just water weight. Insulin has nothing to dp with it. The body conserves muscle like crazy, and when you do end up in a position where it starts being broken down you're almost certainly going to need a trip to the hospital to unfuck your kidneys. Rhabdomyelysis is no joke.
Really don't encourage the broscientists, they're like whiney old men with shitty stories that get overexcited when they think someone might have listened to them.
When I started out eating a metric shitton of eggs, my urine & farts would smell sulfury as fuck. This stopped after like 2 weeks on the diet
On the surface, it seems like some sort of hormesis but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced something similar.
