Seriously, you have the most well-informed videos on the net regarding fitness and exercise. however, this video contains so much purposeful misinformation that it practically destroys your credibility. Using your Athlean-x diet plan, you are keeping insulin high, keeping HGH low most of the day, keeping autophagy minimal, and not giving your liver, kidneys, and stomach a proper rest. With IF you have more energy and focus, extended lifespan due to the daily HGH boost, and more ketones(FAT) burned for energy. Muscle is protected. But you already know this, don't you?
It is a lie to say you can't do IF for the rest of you life. The problem is, you can't sell IF. It also makes your meal plans and supplements practically pointless. You are too informed to not know this, so don't lie to your audience. You are discouraging people from doing something that could change their lives forever simply because you want to make a buck, or you can't let go of your pride.
I lift weights 20 hours into my fast and it feels sublime. I eat only 1 meal a day and it is a glorious event every day. You watch your body lose a little fat every week while keeping every pound of muscle you work for with what feels like almost no effort. I do not struggle with hunger AT ALL and I haven't felt this good in my entire life. I have been natty weight training consistently for a little over 20 years with no break and IF has been a game changer for me in every single way. I'm pissed off that I have been lied to by the fitness industry this long when I could have had it made in the shade with a six pack and an FFMI of 23 year round.
For people that do the typical 8 hour window to eat (which is totally fine BTW, you tell a lie of omission by using an eating window of 9-5. Sorry, but Horse-sh! t. People that do that window typically eat from 12-8. These are the actual times that people eat socially so stop being so disingenuous.
You make all these excuses for why you don't want to do an IF schedule while at the same time promoting a fitness plan that requires a lot of time and effort and money. and for some reason THIS eating schedule is where you draw the line. There are ONLY health benefits to IF and it can work with any type of diet. If you can't eat 2000-3000 calories in an 8 hour window then you are not cut out for bodybuilding (or life) period. I can do that in an hour. which I do every day. I've never been this lean and I didn't buy a thing from anybody.
Hell, your link in the description is for -Permanent Fat Loss without Fasting-. Oh, you mean the complicated way where you will be hungry most the time while wasting money on supplements and diet plans. pass. I swear the fitness industry sucks the big one.
You disagree with the Science of IF without pointing out where the science is wrong. You only point to cultural pressures from our fat western society. I will take longer lifespan and increased energy over a cultural norm for diabetic fat people. I will take my -science- from guys like Dr. Eric Berg. At least he provides facts and not meandering excuses with an ending of -oh BTW buy my plan- at the end.

As a guy who has been one IF for about a year and a half I have a bit of input, one is that and eating window can slide that is to say if you want to have breakfast with a friend coming into town skip dinner and don't eat for 16 hours ( If 8 is the window you like ) prior to breakfast, eat all day if you like and stop at the normal time, or just have the breakfast it is not going to kill you, I generally do between 1 and 6 hours of eating a day ( 6 when i feel like snacking on chips at night or something ) and try to eat a bunch of vegetables almost everyday, that said i also try to skip a day of eating whenever it seem genuinely more convenient to do so, such as when guests are over and asleep when i would normally cook I get a 40ish hour fast and get to be like - I don't need to eat everyday - (comes with a feeling of control, discipline, and to sound like a dick superiority ), The point is, is that i don't worry about what i eat i just try to include plenty of vegetables, Ice cream happens and when it happens more than it should i just eat a bit cleaner (realistically more often i eat some ice-cream to gain a bit of weight when i find i am getting a bit cold and would rather add some fat for a bit ). P. S I do hope that was intelligible it if after work and i just just smoked a bunch of weed

I tried intermittent fasting once. I'm now 8ft tall, 500lbs, 0. 1% body fat, and a compulsive liar like 3/4 of the IF groupies who flooded these comments with their ignorant loyalty to a cult diet. Pro athletes, people with amazing bodies. these are people who don't starve themselves. People who jump on fad diets like IF. well. those are just fat people in search of a quick easy fix. Who cares if they got some temporary results from it? They'd have got WAY better results the hard way, and those results would last. But, if they were able to do things the hard way. the BETTER way. they'd never have gotten into a position where they needed to search for a quick easy fix in the first place. If you got results from fasting. great. Now go do it properly and enjoy better results. Starvation makes your body better at exactly two things: Converting everything you put in your mouth into fat as quickly as possible, and preserving that fat by feeling to tired to move.

If IF works for you, then go for it, but if weight loss is your goal, to me it only seems like a good idea if you-re basically in shape and you-re trying to lose that last stubborn bit of body fat. If you-re more substantially overweight, I-d recommend first changing the way that you eat and getting into an exercise routine. Changing the way that I ate, eliminating high glycemic index foods (it-s hard for the first 72 hours to a week or so, but once you stop eating things like donuts and cakes, and you go through that withdrawal, you-ll no longer crave them) eating a healthy balance of macros, and exercising almost everyday allowed me to go from 270 to 208. I felt great and had great mental clarity from changing what I ate and exercising, while eating throughout the day. Now I know how to eat right and I-ve created the habit of exercising. Those are the most important things to get.

What doesn't work for normal folks that I know is 5-6 small meals like many fitness gurus espouse. We don't get to focus on incessant meal planning because we have jobs, families, etc. Skipping breakfast when I'm not hungry anyway and then eating lunch about 1: 30 and dinner about 7: 30 is much easier than stressing about the next meal only 2 hours from now. Also, I don't stress about the exact hours ratio. If I get 18 off and 6 on, great. If it has to drift to 16-8, no big deal. Far less stressful than when I'd miss meal #4 of #6 due to a meeting or other obligations. Who has time to worry about that much meal prep? I'd say probably only folks that are paid professionals. Agree with the vid though - do what is sustainable for you. Oh, and doing IF for about 8 weeks has me down about 15lbs, with my top tiers of abs coming through. Still lifting hard and making body fat cuts.

He says this doesn't work for people -in general- long term yet uses specific people like hard gainers and social eaters as examples of why it won't work. IF does not need to be the same schedule every day and doesn't even need to be done every day. If you want to eat with your girlfriend or family at nigh just make your eating window 12-6, 1-7, 2-8 etc. If you're a hard gainer working out extreme every day and can't get enough calories in in 6-8 hrs, well then you probably don't need IF anyway. I personally use it on days I didn't work out the day before and simply eat if I'm hungry if I did work out the day before, sometimes that's IF, sometimes not, but I can tell you I only eat from 12 or 2 pm to 6 or 8 pm many days of the week and it is really no problem because I am used to it. Not having to worry about breakfast is great an my energy is excellent in the mornings.

I think it depends on your situation. I live with my family, I have little control over what I eat and my father (who is a lifetime cook) tends to take it really personally when he doesn't see people eating his food in great quantities. I switched to IF naturally because I limited the food that I ate apart from his cooking, and now ultimately I just have a very small breakfast and a rather large dinner. For my specific situation, this has been a lot more sustainable than general portion control and hearing my dad complain for every meal. It's hard working around people in your life that have very different ideas of what a healthy lifestyle is. I've also been doing IF for a year now and honestly, I don't see myself ever stopping even after I've gotten my weight down to where I want it.

I've started 16-8 about 2 months ago. Actually I didn't change anything in my diet (maybe I eat less) except I have this 8 hour time window, but what I've noticed that nothing has changed. Maybe I've lost a couple of kilograms, but that's it. Probably my blood sugar is still high, because after I eat I have a little headache and dizziness. Maybe 1 and a half months is not too much, but if this will be the case after 1 and a half months more I will assume that IF is only effective if you reduce carbs, sugar and calorie intake. which is of course understandable. but if you reduce these thing then it doesn't matter when you eat throughout the day. -
But in this case I have a question: What is the point of doing IF?

fast fwd to August 2019. Now it's keto with intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting able seems doable for me, IF done mindfully. For me, mindfulness means 16: 8 which looks like 16 hour fast breaks at noon thru 8pm with food at noon and 5-6 pm and a snack at 8, which equals 2 meals/day spaced by 4-6 hours (fasting)and a snack. . And to work out in a fasted state. I noticed the 8 hour slot was becoming a free-for-all and plumped up.
Another bit of research advises men to do 16: 8 and women 14: 10. Sane difference. The idea is to wean myself off some of my cravings and habits around them and burn more fat and just feel good. Our bodies have not evolved much in eons, what has changed is the availability of kcals.

You-ve hit the nail on the head about sustainability. That said, it seems that the research is swaying toward a ketogenic diet even for athletes. Or shld I say especially for athletes! Now with keto, IF will be more easily sustainable even natural! Cos keto is not just nutrient dense but also calorie dense. And burning fat is cleaner than carbs. Has been shown to have long term benefits. Certainly more advantageous for athletes whose calorie in and out is far more frequent than the normal person. I have deep respect for what you do and stand for but keep your options open! You never know! :) (if anything, another tool to address varying needs for your clients. Besides, it saves u food prep and eating time! :)
