Intermittent fasting vs "starvation mode"

Because you consume enough calories

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting#Research

literally started a stopwatch, took 6.32 seconds.

>the body breaking down muscle to get energy
not eating is catabolic and when you go catabolic you will eat away muscle 100%, but you will use some fatmass too

>>38683274
So you do lose muscle when IF?

>>38683274
This.

I actually have a drip feeding me 24/7 so I never go catabolic

>>38683303
depends on your total calorie intake but if you're trying to add mass you're definitely crippling your gains

If intermittent fasting is good for you, why is the warrior diet (eating ONE meal a day) bad?

>>38683332
My goal, is to lose fat. I am fat. I wanna bulk when im down allot...

>>38683349
mate stop trying to do these meme diets they arent magic just eat clean and train more

Is IF good for cutting?
I already have my calories set and shit and already go quite a bit of time between my last and first meal of the next day, i'm just wondering if its worth it to squeeze them a bit more to fit IF window and if that would help me at all with the cut

>>38683397
If it helps you stay within your calorie limit, go ahead and do IF.
If you don't need it to help you stay within your calorie limit, don't bother. There's nothing to gain if you're eating throughout the day and staying under maintenance.

OP here,
From the studies i have read on the internet, it is fucking godlike for losing fat. My question is tho, do you lose muscle wile IF

>>38683434
You'll lose muscle if you cut. No matter what.

Just don't cut too much and exercise.

If you really don't want to lose muscle then buy some anavar for your cut.

>>38683434
Yeah IF is great. Fasting is actually very healthy for you outside of the meme fat loss.

I do IF and fast for 24 hours once a week.

>>38683196
it doesn't, the body produces GH during starvation amongst other things as well as glucagon and you'll have to go over 40 hours to burn muscle and this has been tested on professional athletes not fat cunts like you who haven't got a fucking clue what they're talking about

what next? carbs build muscle and fat is bad for you?

read a book you fucking arse

>>38683434
quoted anon here, i havent made much research into IF specifically but judging by what i learned when researching about empty stomach cardio i dont think you will be losing much muscle with IF if you arent working out/doing heavy work while fasting.
