intermittent fasting?
Discussion
Exactly. I've done it for years. I'm not hardcore though. Usually around 18hrs and not every day. You do it?
tried it few times in 2022y Not regular yet. Will use the month of #Ramadan as an occasion to level/up this year 🙏🏽
What benefits did you observe for yourself?
16/8 on since 2 years. Can’t imagine to ever go back.
what was the change you observed?
Combined with a largely keto-leaning nutrition a weight loss of 10 kg while preserving muscle mass and first and foremost being 100% awake during the day and falling into sleep 5 minutes after going to bed.
I might start the 16/8 more regularly as well. Sounds like a good „entry“ to a fasting routine 🙏🏽

For me, it helps control my calorie intake. Strangely, I'm less hungry when I fast and eat less. I can lose excess fat with no problem if I want to when fasting.
It also gives me better clarity of thought when fasting. I think my brain functions better because as soon as I start eating I feel tired and my mind's not as sharp.
Yes, the effect on vigilance and presence is indeed amazing.
If you have the flexibility, I'd recommend to put your training ~2 hours upfront of any of your meals, so that you don't fall into undersupply with protein.
