Here here, I hate food logs, counting calories etc. but I really do see Ceth's point in that if doing say a 20/4 (warrior diet) version of IF it would be pretty hard to eat 2000 + calories in one sitting.
An update on my diet adventures (side note, my supplement routine is on hold as it is already maxed out and until I get my diet reconfigured, tweaking it will only add more variables, I know that once I settle on something I will need to tweak supplements to be taking during fasting, eating, eating protein/fat and eating carbs, but ill save that for later)...
I am posting both in the Intermittent Fasting Club and the Ketogenic Diet Thread (basically in my case, ideally a hard core version of paleo diet, though not with 100% reliance on buffalo, game meat etc.) with
http://www.imminst.o...o...=20768&st=0I really think a combination of a Paleo Ketogenic Low Carb diet and Intermittent Fasting is the way to go.
Only I got so lean on a keto/paleo diet eating cart loads of meat and fat (non starch veggies too) and there were some other effects that werent all that great see the thread. But by an large the results were pretty good, but if I tried to throw more then the occasional fast well I would just waste away, yes I retained muscle surprisingly well but I have found that perhaps there is such a thing a too low a body fat percentage.
So I tried intermittent fasting for awhile but my body didnt tolerate carbs in the day time very well (can we say nappy time).
So I am back to low carb as my brain over all seems to like that better. My next experiment will be with yes I am eating my own words here on the logic of the Warrior Diet (I read the book this weekend and though alot of it really annoyed me there were some good points). So I am taking components of the Warrior Diet schedule of Intermittent Fasting with a primarily Paleo Food Selection but with Pre Workout Carbs on SOME Days and Post Workout Glycogen Loading on SOME days as well as Glycogen Depleting, inspired by Lyle McDonald's books the Ketogenic Diet and the Ultimate Diet 2.0 (also read this weekend) yes I read fast... Maybe I will write a book on the result.
My goals:
Be able to gain muscle and not gain fat (there isn't really any fat left to lose so that is not a goal)
Get benefits of CR through IF + supplements
Eat Lots of Meat, Vegetables, Nuts and Non Starchy Fruits (paleo)
Uses Starchy Fruits, Kefir/Yogurt and Oatmeal (the least offensive and only grain I will eat) for my periodic carb up/workout purposes
Be mentally alert as on keto but have more endurance and explosive power (high intensity training) like while eating carbs
Though I am more mentally alert on keto my memory is not as good (perhaps this is catecholamines)
