These are the people touting IF/fasting btw

fasting increases autophagy within cells.

Reminder to all posters: Take all advice with a grain of salt. The guy (she) giving you advice may be weak and sickly or a fat fuck. Remember, many posters don't even lift and just come here to see spout bullshit theories, as if there is any one right answer for everyone. Consider your goals and follow conventional wisdom to reach them. If you wanna be a twink, fast. If you wanna be a strongfat, SS+GOMAD. If you wanna be jacked and tan, lift and eat a well balanced diet.

hgh, autophagy, ketosis, stem cell production

>”reee you get the same results through cicio”
no shit, but I’d rather eat 2000 calories in a day than over a week

Under fucking rated

no bodybuilder should be fasting.... or interminant fasting, eat more often and in smaller portions to boost metabolism and put on muscle. Fast only if you wanna lose ur gainz and look like this twink

It’s 2020 you still believe that meme advice from mid 2000’s men’s health magazines?

Lmfao

peak autophagy is at 18 hours which is literally only a few hours of "fasting". delay breakfast a small bit and autophagy only goes down from there. Not that "high levels of autophagy" are important at all. autophagy occurs 24/7 in literally everyone.

stop falling for meme shit.

Fasting worked for me

DUDE BUZZWORDS

world class athletes don't think about this dumb shit and I know because I follow themo n instagram. The fucking chinese weightlifting team (which dominates most categories right now) eats instant noodles and stir fry almost every meal and doesn't even think about protein either. Your meme shit is so infuriating god damnit

>caloric deficit worked for me
and? read a book facelet.

I don't know the 2 side faggots but it's a shame what miles (middle guy) became. I reckon under that fat was a chad waiting to be born

so how do you lose weight while fasting? Just eat enough calories and macros during the eating window? Or are you still in a caloric deficit?

not eating for more than 8 hours is not ideal for bodybuilding and nobody did that in the golden age and no bodybuilder fasts nowadays...even when they prep for a show... not saying fasting isnt healthy.. but we r fking bodybuiling to make gainz !!

reading comprehension 101 I wasnt insinuating that weight loss itself works differently. I was saying hormonal balance is improved and therefore more of the weight you lose is fat and less of it is muscle.

Fasting only has benefits if the alternative is a toxic/inflammatory diet, and most diets are inflammatory due to all the plant foods in them (and low quality animal foods). If you're eating like grass fed meat, wild fish, free range eggs, top tier stuff like that then fasting will have no benefit at all. But if you're eating that well you will find you will go a lot longer between meals so you will be quasi-fasting every day.

Is gdq still pozzed? Been out of the loop

Well hey don't fast then buddy

Someone pls explain

how long did you fast?

that's not what I was fucking saying either retard. Just asked if you need to be in a caloric deficit when fasting like 16/8.

Give more info my dude, how long did you fast?
Really nice progress.

Do you really think that body is impressive? you have no development anywhere other than your arms and since you're a be ginner you fail to realize how ridiculous it looks..

Ok, post your impressive body then.

fasting increases autofaggy with incels

Multiple studies also showed worse lipids profiles from fasting

LDL, insulin resistance, stomach stretching, same hormones

like it or not this body type would look better than any other with muscle on it

Looking like the body of a Praxiteles work of art there senpai, very nice

Looking good bro

i hate trannies like you that will eventually fuck up perfectly good male builds with shit like female hormones

Not him, but good cut. I would do another bulk+cut focusing on 1. Chest to his your less than stellar insertions and 2. Rear delts to add some depth to your shoulders.

No, your body magically defies thermodynamics after exactly 16 hours (960 minutes) of fasting.

watch blade runner 2049 with Gosling, it's like a prerequisite to being an incel AKA average Yas Forums poster

Fasting is easy as shit to do anyway, I don’t get hungry until at least noon most days and I want to workout in the morning I just don’t fast that day who cares

Why are people so autistic about this topic

yes, but it's understandable

How big of a deficit do you cut on? Refeeds? Macros? Looking good bro.

achievable natty?

post routine

I do entirely calisthenics, I'm up to being able to do 25 pushups in a row, 30 situps, and 8 pull ups. I do these for 2 sets at a time once a week

Um, that’s incorrect

no fucking way, if that's all you're doing then you have god-tier genetics and you should start roiding and lifting and you'll be an IFBB pro in no time

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3946160/

Read some studies on fasting on pubmed or like the one above or the dozens of articles written by Jason Fung, one of the leading scientists on the biochemical mechanisms of Fasting.

The benefits arising from fasting are more than just weight loss/fat loss.

It improves virtually every part of your body, reduces insulin resistance/cancers/cardiovascular/neurodegenerative/promotes neurogenesis (formation of new neurocytes/ synaptic plasticity and promotes neuron growth), helps with skin disorders and a multitude of other effects.

Yes, you'd need to be in a calorie deficit, the purpose of 16/8 fasting is to deplete your glycogen reserves but also to do it as efficiently as possible to maximise fat oxidation.

To simplify things, you have three major stores of energy in your body, body fat (long term storage), liver glycogen/longer digesting material in the stomach (medium) and muscle glycogen/whatever amount of glucose is present in your blood via digestion) (short term)

Insulin (makes body convert excess glucose to body fat/liver or muscle glycogen) and Glucagon (converts glycogen and also activates pathways leading to fat oxidation (body fat loss) are secreted in response to the amount of glucose in your blood, if blood glucose is high, then insulin is secreted, if low then glucagon is secreted, they are antagonistic to eachother and work against eachother, insulin also inhibits the main enzmyes involved in fat oxidation (hormone sensitive lipase)

what 16/8 fasting achieves is keeping your blood glucose medium-low consistently and as long as possible, the result is blood insulin levels is kept low --->blood glucagon levels are high ------> hormone sensitive lipase is uninhibited by insulin and able to convert body fat to glucose (albeit in a much slower method than digestion which prevents spiking of insulin) hence maximising fat loss.
