-Wednesday I ate 1 chocolate-covered pretzal because there was a box at the office, and that was it

-Thursday I caved a bit while covering a press event and ate a couple cookies

-Friday I ate nothing

-On Saturday I was invited to a St. Patrick's Day party. I was planning in advance to eat at it and pretty much ate normally, probably about 2200 calories

-Since leaving that party on Saturday night I've eaten nothing.

I've only been drinking water, besides one beer and some whisky at the party I went to. It's been easier than I expected but also not a walk in the park, though I hear once you get over the 3-4 day hump it can be a lot easier because hunger mostly goes away. We'll see if I can maek it.

One thing that helps is that in mental terms I think it's easier to simply eat nothing than to rigorously watch what you eat all day.

That said, this is mostly just my plan for losing weight. Once it's actually gone, I'll transition to eating a more normal diet.

it's extremely unhealthy for certain segments of the population.

My genetics and metabolism are pretty much the norm for American 20-something doods, I imagine. I'm not as active as I should be but I do enough walking to not be a super couch potato. Obviously I should be lifting, but I'm currently not.

imho, something like the 5/2 works because as you said it's fairly simple to follow and you still get to eat "normally" for the majority of the time

those who push the ultra low cal lifestyle do so for the supposed longevity benefits as much as (if not more so than) any weight loss consequences.

IF is way better. Most of the benefits from fasting kick in at about 16-20 hours. Not much of a point going beyond 24 from a physiological viewpoint. But no harm until about 36.

If you do IF though, you need to keep a consistent eating window or you'll fuck with your hormones and circadian rhythm. Also not a good idea to fast without medical supervision if you're diabetic. Also, men can fast longer than women (it's a hormonal thing).

Lean gains is a 16/8; you can also do a 20/4 or even a 23/1; 5/2 is okay. I do one meal on a cut/maintenance and two meals on a bulk. There's also the warrior diet but that's not "true" IF.

Also, don't eat post-workout. Ride that HGH wave. When you eat, insulin goes up which brings down HGH and Test.
