Hi Mick. I have tried both ways though and gained fat just the same I think. I mainly do IF for convenience. Thats my only reason really. Do you think that doing IF can cause more fat gain than eating the normal way? All calories being the same?

I must admit I don't change my carb values like he says. It's mainly the intermittent fasting that I take from it. What I like about fasting is that it freed me from believing that I had to eat 6 meals a day with protein every three hours in order to build muscle. Eating and training has been a...

The genetic potential seems a bit low for your height. I have steve reeves book that has a genetic potential scale and mine is 200lb at 6ft. It doesn't take into account wrist, ankle measurements etc. though. Didn't Totentanz reach 230lb at 6ft 1? Totentanz. What was your heaviest leanest weight?

Hello Wungun. Did you see my post a page back? The carb backloading book looks alot like a Jason Ferruggia book I read when I first got into intermittent fasting. It also proclaimed that you could eat more calories than you could dieting the "normal" way. The book was complete bull. Most of...

Hi Wungun. I have just downloaded the book I haven't got around to reading it yet so I can't pass any judgement. But reading the first few pages the below points caught my eye. Carb Back-Loading Cliff Notes 1. Shift calories to later in the day, eating lighter in the morning and early...

I am not estimating my food guys. Every thing is measured on my digital weighing scales which I use every day and checked with my fitness pal I will look into getting my testosterone checked. Mick. I assumed that calories is all that mattered and I found it easier to eat slightly higher carb...

Just to add I actually got down to a lower weight that this last year on 2000 cals a day. Even though I was still no where near lean I hit 177lbs. I was on 50g lower carb then and higher fats. I am probably fighting age also now

Hi Jester. Does it really sound right that I can't cut at 2000 cals at 6ft and 200lb? Plus what about my strength. I know you lose it on a cut but should I be losing so much? Cutting cals even more would probably seriously effect my workouts

Hi Wungun. I all ready check most of what you have on the list with regards carb backloading. The only thing that is different is I'm having around 50g of carbs on my second meal also. Surely that can't make much of a difference? Leonardo. I had my blood work checked a few months ago. They...

On the intermittent fasting I am currently consuming most of my carbs after workout or first meal of the day. Carbs on first meal are 150g. 50g on the last meal. The problem I am also facing is that I am also rapidly losing strength on such low calories. It's like the calories are so low that I...

The question is though if body types don't exist why am I not losing weight on at 2000 cals a day at 6ft and 200lb working out 5 days a week? I've plugged my details into the IIFYM calculator and suggested calories for fatloss is 2365, aggressive is 2226 calories and reckless 2087 calories a...

Hi Jester. I definitely don't qualify as skinny fat. I just hold too much fat round my lower half which I find impossible to get rid of. Wungun. I don't eat anything before 5pm except on workout days. I have 1 round of wholemeal toast before. I'll take a look at the book when I have time...

Hi Mick. Why do you say that you should do 2 weeks at maintenance calories before a cut?

Hi Totentanz. That is correct about the calories. The above post you are probably referring to is for 1 meal. My calories are still around 2000 day. As for the 45 inches it's out of proportion though. When I say I could go all day if I had to. I could but only for one day. I can just about...

I've never had a big appetite. I could go all day without eating if I had to. Macro's are about 120g of protein 50g of carbs and not sure about fats just off hand but there isn't much in my second meal. So how can I change my proportions? I feel I am too wide at the top of the leg. Should i...

Usually to bed about 1 am. From what I read about on IF it seems it doesn't matter how late you eat before bed.

Hi Mick. Yeah I do IF with a 16 hour fast. My eating window is 4pm until 12pm but I usually have my first meal around 5pm. Last meal is about 11:30pm

I assure you it did Totentanz. I measured before I posted it. That seems out of proportion to me

Jester. I am 6ft @ 200lbs. I've lost 6lbs on this cut. I haven't had my bodyfat measured professionally. Totentanz. I don't think my waist tells the full story. When I was at my fattest 1 and half years ago at 224lbs I only had a 36 inch waist then. As I say. My fat goes to hips butt and thighs...

Haha. I mean no offense. We are all putting mainly size first here. I'm not sure about that guy. Maybe strength really isn't related to size. I know a guy at the gym who is natural and has alot of muscle for his size. He mainly does high volume and high reps. On the flip side there is a guy at...
