RESULT: Fasting enhances growth hormone secretion and amplifies the complex rhythms of growth hormone secretion in man.
Why aren't we periodically fasting, /fit/?

Why cut when we want to gain
>>39003018
But it's not just about cutting. If you managed to get your calories in during the short time you eat, you could also bulk. The problem is that it's probably hard.
But still. Actual GH gains???

FAGGOTS
I TELL YOU THAT YOU COULD IMPROVE YOUR GH LEVELS NATURALLY AND YOU IGNORE THE THREAD?

I'm on a 24 hour fast right now OP. Just drinking my coffee for breakfast.
Yer it's called sleeping for 9 hours bro
>>39003007
Because a high carb diet makes me feel better? Who cares what you look like if you feel like horseshit?
GH pulses when you sleep, which is why I take melatonin, which is a somatostatin inhibitor. Somatostatin, as mentioned in the study, is one of the most important GHRH inhibitors, so by inhibiting somatostatin, you are effectively enhancing GHRH secretion.

How do you feel? How often do you fast for this long? Don't you have the fear of not getting enough nutrients doing that period and losing your gains?
>>39003530
But 9 hours are not enough. They talk about 12 - 16 hour fasts.
>>39003007
because its a 1% increase, who gives a shit.
people who take exogenous HGH have 10x normal levels, and that still gives slow gains that take 6 month cycles/blasts.

this is true. it's also completely irrelevant for gains, which makes it utterly useless for us.
I've been doing a half-assed IF (14/10) anyway for my cut, I'm probably too old to get any benefits from this but I'll measure my height next time I use one of those body scanners.

This is the first time I've done it in a while. I've been bulking and feeling bloated for a while, so decided to give my digestive system a little break. I used to do it once a week while cutting.
I ate a big dinner at around 8p and will eat dinner tonight. It's easier than going to bed hungry.
You feel hunger pangs intermittently during the day but they come and go. It's not a constant suffering.
I think I'll try to do it like once a month.
>gh increases by an insignifant amount to make a change
>omg guys lets all do IF it must b craxy for gainz
>>39003007
Cause we inject that shit. CMON baby

How does the increased secretion affect us mentally? It is widely known that increasing your testosterone through diet/lifestyle will provide positive mental benefits, is it the same with GH?
>giving up steady protein synthesis for useless gh boost
stay dyel forever senpai

I somehow don't get why its called "fasting" when you only do it for 24 hours. I mean come on, what is 24 hours?? If I can eat on one evening, and then just don't eat anything for one day BUT am allowed to eat on the same days evening, how is that fasting? I feel actual fasting only starts when you do something like one entire day without food..
>>39004199
24 hours is an entire day buddy
Can I inject hgh straight into my wang to make it bigger?
>>39003714
Skip breakfast? Eat 3h before going to sleep?
