July 2012: Started Intermittent Fasting
17 Years lifting experience, Running competitively for 6 months, terrible diet, low carber for about a year with plataued success.
32 years old, 5'9, 175 lbs, 15% body fat, muscular build, Goal 8% body fat.
Stopped fasting September 15, 2012
Weight loss of 18 lbs, 157 lbs @ 10% body fat, abs starting to show, averaging 12 miles ran per week, terrible diet.
My fasting schedule and diet:
start eating @ 3 pm everyday and finish eating by 10 pm every night. I would fast between 10 pm and would break my fast by 3 pm everyday.
My calorie intake for the first two months was around 1500 calories per day and the last month my appetite had decreased so much that it was hard for me to stomach more than 1200 calories per day which was great, I just wasnt hungry. I had to force myself to eat. while structuring my eating around this schedule I ensured that I took in enough protien, and fats to ensure i retained as much mucsle mass as possible but because I am a low carber at times I didnt take in carbs which really accellerated my fat loss. Other than those nutrient intake levels, I didnt really eat clean and didnt have to, the fat was falling off anyway because of the calorie restriction, carb restriction, and the fasting schedule. This is the one diet (which really isnt a diet its an eating schedule) that really worked beyond my wildest dreams because it balanced my brain functions as far as learning that I am not really hungry all the time its just that Im used to eating at certain times. Also there werent hunger issues after the first 3 days because my blood sugar wasnt spiking through out the day. I wasn't loosing muscle mass, I wasnt hungry, it was great. If you would like more information on the different ways to structure an eating schedule just reply. True weight loss awaits you, NO MORE FAD DIETING THAT DOESNT WORK!!!
