Hey guys,
real quick,so I decided to contribute to the community because I have read so much valuable info in the past 3 weeks since I joined.Even though I haven't finished reading the Millionaire Fastlane book(I'm at p.249),I want to give some value to this forum.In this post I'm going to focus on Intermittent Fasting(IF).
Anyways,I've been into fitness since age 15, when I started swimming and jogging.When I was 16 years old I started doing some very basic bodyweight exercises at home.This was also the time that I started to experiment with my eating regimen and discovered Intermittent Fasting thanks to Martin Berkhan.Since age 16,I've been more and more into bodyweight training and lifting instead of jogging and swimming.
The basics go like this: you fast for 16 hours and have an 8 hour eating window whereby you eat your food.You focus on consuming protein and protein,water,then carbs and fats.
Personally,I enjoy fasting for 20 hours and having a 4 hour eating window.The reason for this is that I'm a college student and have many classes/day( from 8 am till 2 or 3 pm) and I hate rushing my meals and eating at school.I MUCH MUCH prefer sitting down at my table and eating my meals slowly,which takes at least 30 minutes sometimes 40 minutes LOL.So for example I arrive at home at 3 pm,break my fast at 4pm and finish my last meal by 8 pm. On weekends however,I stick to the 16/8 schedule,so I break my fast at noon.I eat 2 LARGE post workout meals on workout days and 3 medium meals on rest days(weekend).
How do I fit in my workouts? Easy.I get up at 4 or 4:30 am,slam some tasty black coffee and haul a$$ to the gym and work out from 6 am till 7 am.Rinse and repeat Monday thru Friday.
What I really love about IF is the mental clarity that I have during the fast.It is unparalleled and great for working out and studying,or in you guys' case working on your business'.
I do think about food during the fast but then I just drink a lot of water and the hunger is gone.I'm not hungry in the morning because black coffee absolutely kills my appetite.
Now,IF is not the best strategy for gaining mass but I don't care because I'm not in a hurry to put on muscle mass because I'm in this game for the LONG HAUL,I'M still just 20 years old.What it is great for however,is minimizing fat gain while gaining muscle.I have put on muscle in the past few years and managed not to get fat and it's amazing.
Well,that's all I can think about right now,gotta get back to studying.If you have any questions,ask away!
