What is the benefit of starting your eating at 11?

Intermittent fasting is just that, you fast for 16 hours a day and eat for 8. I didn't think it would work, but I have done it in the past with great success. During my 8 hour feeding window, I have 3 very large meals. I really never am hungry in the morning so it fits how my body wants calories. Ghurelin production is decreased so no hunger pangs. I usually get hungry about 10:30am and can really eat as I like. Protein is kept high and carbs are manipulated depending on training requirements. It even has a way for those that train early morning as I do on occasion using BCAA's to prevent catabolism.

TweetSo it's basically "the warrior diet" concept? I know quite a few people doing it with good success

[Anabolic5150]

TweetCorrect, except the Warrior Diet is usually one large feeding at night and you graze on nuts, berries etc during the day.

Here is a great site to read more, Andy is really a good guy and we have had numerous e-mail conversations. RippedBody.jp | Intermittent Fasting guide & Training guide to your dream body.

It is written in Japanese as he lives there but is translated into English. Very simple plan and I have a calorie site that figures your macros depending on goal if anyone wants.

Sounds interesting! May have to try this sometime. Do you drink anything post-workout, or just strictly only eat 3 meals?

[tn94z]

TweetYeah, I tried it at one point until I started with my new trainer. I was eating berries, bcaa's, etc....during the day and then basically eating what I wanted for the 8 hour window. I've read about the IF and how it compares to the Warrior Diet. I would actually like that setup but I will do what my trainer has for me now.

Depending on time of day I train I will have a PWO shake. Here is what Andy recommends and what I have done with success.

Training at 7am as I do at times, I have 10g BCAA's before leaving for the gym and sip on 10g in water while training. I come home and at 11am will slam 75g of whey and 100g of dextrose and have a meal an hour later. I count the protein and carbs from the shake in my macros but not as a meal. My meals this day will be smaller as such.

Training at 2pm, I eat a meal at 11am and during training I will sip on 10g BCAA's. Immediately Post workout I have my shake as above. Again, I count it in the macros but not as a meal. Then before 7pm I will have 2 more meals. I'm eating about 3500-3600 calories a day on training days and condensing that into 3 meals gives me quite a bit of food rather then 6-7 small meals.

Always follow your trainers advice, they are working with you firsthand and can make a better assessment.

TweetWell now there's only four things on the menu right now. Protein shakes, chicken breast, green beans, tilapia. I guess my shopping list is very simple.

Here's a shot this morning with just a little bit of water restriction. I got to the shop and decided to snap a few. 11 days and counting.
