It is more for a cut than anything else. It would be tough to put on a lot of mass with this.

I have a friend that's done it for 5-6 months now, he's gotten great results too. In the bold, nope, think it's more due to laziness. I've made attempts to adjust to it, it helped in a mood-sense, not the gym. The weird thing is I'm not all into getting a physique, I do 5 sets of 5, more strength training/ maintaining my speed and acknowledging that the physique will come with that. The days I fasted, went to the gym, I had to lower the weight or force myself heavily to complete the sets, at times I would feel extremely lightheaded, dizzy, a good 20-30 seconds of blurred vision, sort of like I'm about to pass out, this was right after I was done completeting my rep or the entire set which prompt me to stop.

I fast every year for Ramadan so I have a lot of experience with it but I fasted outside of Ramadan this year as it's become quite popular in the fitness world.

It worked well for me.

But like others have said, it's definitely not for everyone.

I wouldn't recommend it for something done on a regular basis.

It is designed for cutting.

Try doing Eat Stop Eat. You only fast one time a week, for 24 hours.

So for example you can have dinner on a Thurdsay then fast until dinner Friday night. That way you got to eat both on Thursday and Friday while still fasting.

honestly my lifestyle is pretty busy i have a ton of boxing/strength/endurance classes. I go to the gym 6 days a week.

I would lose my mind if i stopped eating. And i'm on the paleo diet because my body is pretty sensitive to allot of foods that are processed.

This wouldn't work for me.

The only problem I have had with it is that I already have a pretty small appettite so it is tough for me to hit all of my macros in the 8 hour window. I end up shorting it for carbs so I'm going to have to add 2 protein shakes a day to it.

I did it all weekend, My weight is dropping much faster so far.

I like it.

To be continued.

I did a little bit of research on this, and this seems legit. Lots of health benefits. Thanks for the heads up reed. Gonna try this starting tomorrow.
