I experienced a visible cut just 5 days into the plan (pure madness) but things have appeared to gradually slow down after the initial stunning impact. I have always been very lean and used to eat 7 rather big meals a day (approx. 4,000 Cal/day) in order to gain some mass (used to be 84kg and quite lean but shed 16kg in just one year without training and irregular meals). I am now at my 5th week following the macros outlined on http://examine.com/leangains-faq/ (approx. Rest days1600Cal - Workout days 2100Cal) and I am pretty ripped and vascular all over the place but far from your 5.5% and not bulking (currently 69kg and 177cm tall). Wouldn't like to vanish while not losing fat. I never craved cheese cakes, bakery and carbs so much in my life.

Is there any way for me?<br /><br />About me: I am a girl, 157cm tall, 53kg, body fat is 22% (was 25% 3 months ago), I do a circuit that includes 5 sessions of cardio (9min each), the first 3 ones I run at 10km/h (and try to improve it) and do weight training in between, like squats, leg press, abs, lat machine, pulley etc.<br />Oh, I am not taiking any type of integrators.ikingahttp://www.ikinga.ronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753134523377951862.post-78566933484924723562012-04-19T17:48:17.952-07:002012-04-19T17:48:17.952-07:00You could tell he was getting pissed.

Is the basic premise of the fasting to simply make the most of the body's natural fat burning mechanism as opposed to interrupting it with small frequest meals? And then fuel the body properly in the remaining 8 hours? As far as the training goes is it fair to say that as long as the trainng is intense, of short duration and includes adequate recovery it does not have to include all the exercises mentioned in fuckarounditis. (my back surgeon said no to heavy squats and deadlifts) Whoever wants to answer this is welcome to.

I do a three times a week workout(steady state run + strong lifts), and I really prefer doing it on an empty stomach on the mornings. Can I still employ IF? This would mean eating from around 10-11 to 18-19, which is pretty much normal to me anyway. <br /><br />Also, what are your thoughts on keto? Is it even compatible with lean gains? I know you talk about complex carbs on workout days, so how does this sound to you: 25-40 grams of simple + complex carbs on workout days with 0-5 carbs on rest days, excluding fibre. Is it crazy?<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753134523377951862.post-8116624803464485832011-12-07T08:50:01.075-08:002011-12-07T08:50:01.075-08:00I'm about to start this new eating plan, but j...I'm about to start this new eating plan, but just one snag.

I notice your IF guide sets some guide...Hi Martin,<br /><br />I notice your IF guide sets some guidelines on what kind of foods you should eat (whole grain carbs vs refined, low fat ice cream vs normal etc).<br /><br />I was wondering how you feel about the IIFYM school of thought? The claims are that this is backed up by scientific study, and that would seem to indicate that it doesn't matter WHERE your carbs or fats come from if the amount is the same (so if you eat some carbs/fats in the form of normal ice cream vs low fat it wouldn't matter as long as the macro amounts were the same. You'd be eating less of the normal ice cream in that case of course). Same with carbs, they seem to suggest that it doesn't matter whether they are whole or refined, body composition will not be affected.<br /><br />Would you disagree with this? Or do you suggest certain types of foods because of health benefits other than body composition (micronutrient profile, heart health etc?)<br /><br />I'd really be interested to know how these approaches fit (or don't fit) together.<br /><br />On a separate note, if all those studies you posted really do indicate that meal timing/frequency are irrelevant to body composition, then wouldn't that mean IF would have no different effect than any other breakdown of meal timing? Obviously I don't fully understand all this stuff, but any guidance would be appreciated!TGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753134523377951862.post-34935106524799842012011-06-21T14:53:59.587-07:002011-06-21T14:53:59.587-07:00What's your take on Gluten?
