Is fasting legit? Is anyone doing it and does it actually have

>>40200965
Yes. It works really fucking well. As long as you're not just gorging for 10-4 hours that you can eat.
It has a lot of known benefits.

But yeah, Berkhan-style 16/8 IF works pretty well in my experience, give it a try.

IF is really good for helping yourself lose weight at a more stable and easier rate

What I want from fasting is to get my insulin levels in check. I feel like eating any sugar wrecks my body and drains me of energy. I think fasting would help with that.

I also want to boost my testosterone levels, but some sources say it does boost testosterone, while others don't even mention it.

can I drink water during it?

Yerp. I tried 'IF' for a month, it works. My routine:

Woke up, had a cup of black coffee. I was at the gym within an hour of waking up. Stayed there for 1.5 hrs.

Rowing/Treadmill for 5 mins
Dynamic stretches for 5-7 mins
Lifted heavy
Static stretching with foam rolling

I'd eat my dinner about 3 hrs before bedtime.

I used the keto strips that you piss on the check whether your body is in ketosis mode or not (I was NOT on a keto diet, just a normal calorie deficit diet). After a week, my body was in ketosis mode and lost fuck loads of fat.

I was weak when I went to the gym (was lifting about 75 - 85% of my pb), but that's expected.

Tip: Meal prep and buy walnuts.

don't know how to greentext

hope this helps

>buying steroids is illegal
>IF boosts testosterone

what gives?

and no it doesn't boost test levels to a point where it would have even remotely marginal benefit.

Yup. Doing it for a few years now.

>benefits?
Lots.

>feel more alert during fasting stage
>only have to eat once a day (meal + 80g proton/fiber shake)
>not even thinking about food during fasting stage
>weight seems to come off easier
>feel like a savage in the gym

>killing your metabolism by spending the majority of the day in a fasted state

lol retards
you need to be eating multiple meals a day to lose weight.

>keeps you satiated longer
>constant digestion = constant calorie burn
>more energy through the day instead of being tired all the time

why the fuck do you people think fasting is good?

I do a 24 hour fast once a week, I find it really helps in a multitude of ways.

>Clearer head
>Less cravings during week
>Less bloating
>Helped reprogram bad cravings

I did it for like 2 and a half weeks and lost at least 10 lbs. Given it was a really extreme fast, one meal a day like 800 kcals with little to no carbs. Now a week after coming off it I'm constipated
