I know this one carries a huge stigma amongst certain circles and there's a lot of misconceptions regarding fasting amongst the nutritional community/body building fraternity etcet. But does anyone else on here use fasting as a diet method/in their day to day lives and what have been your results?
Me personally I've dropped 4 kilos in the last 2 months but have noticed a big difference in my muscle definition. On days where I fast I find my energy levels are huge and I've had no loss whatsoever of muscle mass (a myth perpetuated by some re: fasting).
Some people are vehemently against it and I'd never try and push it on anyone, I just know that for me personally it works very well and i'll continue with it for the remainder of my days. I do 5 days of eating with 2 days fasted however some prefer to follow the 16 hours fasted with an 8 hour window to fit your meals in.
For those interested in a couple of the methods, look up lean gains (a ridiculously good website/resource, Martin Berkhan is a beast) or if you can get your hands on a copy of the ebook Eat Stop Eat by Brad Pilon they outline exactly what it entails.
Anyone else here pro fast? What have been your experiences? On the flip side anyone here anti Fasting? Interested in your thoughts too.
