To make sure my diet doesn-t completely fall off a cliff and I-m able to continue to make progress, I do a version of intermittent fasting, but I do it in a very specific way to make sure I maximize the results. My eating window is in a window. It's a meal. Some people like to call it OMAD. For some reason, I think the abbreviation sounds ridiculous. So I call it one meal a day, and I have that meal an hour and a half before I go to bed because if you've ever tried to go to bed starving, good F-n luck. You're going to end up staring at the ceiling and trying to hold your breath until you pass out. Now that meal should be fairly clean. Good source of protein, high-quality carbohydrates, good healthy fats but the good news is it doesn't have to be small. I usually have a block of Beyond Meat, 4lbs of potatoes and then after they're done cooking, either drizzle with extra virgin olive oil or macadamia nut oil. And the good thing about eating like this during those weeks is, you know, there's going to be days where your diet completely falls apart. Thanksgiving obviously, Christmas Eve, Halloween night, when you're laying on your stomach, eating your kid's candy like a giant toddler, just know whatever crap you're eating. That's your meal for the night. That's all you get. Wake up the next morning, you're back to fasting. It just mitigates the damage. A couple of quick notes. As you're doing this, your only focus is maintaining muscle mass, but more than anything, staying lean, if not getting a little bit leaner. But that doesn't mean you can half a-- your workouts. In fact, if you train high volume, you're going to find that you get a hell of a lot of energy when you fast. The second question that's going to come up is when should you train? I like to train first thing in the morning because you have all those carbs stored up from the night before, so you have an incredible pump during your workout. I've also seen the best results doing that way. The only issue is you-ve got to suffer through that starvation the rest of the day. And finally, I'm not as strict as I would normally be on a fast. I still have my black coffee in the morning, BCAA-s throughout the day and I still drink my pre-workout even though it's got some sh-t in it, but not enough to really make a difference at the end of the day. So if you're trying to burn fat around the holidays with no luck or you just woke up after Thanksgiving and realized you now have an extra 5lbs of belly fat to lose then THIS IS THE WAY!

I was doing IF and Extended fasting this year. I went from 276 down to 237 in about two months. I have a knee injury that really hit my confidence, motivation, mental/emotional state pretty hard and lead to massive weight gain. Then this year I had some personal issues that caused another spike in my depression. I stopped doing IF and extended fasting. Started my binge eating late at night and went back up to 255. After everything a switch in my mind was flipped. I'm now back at my IF with extended fasting coupled with high intensity exercise. I want to be between 180-195 by March. While it's not impossible it will be difficult since I am adding muscle as I lose fat. My original plan was to lose the lbs then bulk but why not use this extra padding to bulk while losing weight right?
Still I only eat One meal a day on the days that I do eat and it's normally a fairly large meal. Extremely high protein, veggies and some form of carbs. I'm already seeing Muscle gains and I am leaning out. The weight loss is much slower this time around since I am lifting heavy and pushing myself as much as I can until muscle failure. I go as heavy as I can then drop the weight to finish the set. Normally pumping as many reps out at the lower weight until failure. I also do Cardio after every workout.

Day two of week one of the 30 day course started with trainer. Bought him the course also so he has the schedule and course to digest and to push with. He liked it so much he started it himself. Me first and when I'm out of there he takes the same treatment on. His recommendation go thru a full body exam to establish basics so we know where Im at in two weeks and then at the end of the 30 day course. Scan established where Im at. 65 years old, 6 foot, 215 Lbs, with a 19% fat level. Goal drop 5 lbs of fat in two weeks to establish a 16 to 17 percent fat percentage. After 4 weeks possibly a ten pound drop but possibly not. But will see how this already amazing 30 day program pushes toward an ultimate goal of 13% fat level in 30 days or even after a second session utilizing the garage session.
Two week assessment should reveal some positive progress and hopefully the full 4 week program makes some dramatic improvements.

Ok, here is one for ya.
If I can only make it to the gym 1 maybe 2 times a week. Should I keep a split for each week or should I focus on one group for 4 weeks and rotate body focus every month?
Granted not a ton of visual progress will show on size and strength side but perhaps with diet I'll still see some fat loss. This question comes from having 2 jobs and maintaining one full day a week for sanity and recover. The workout can fit in there or sometimes before a shift but generally for mental health only once a week is best option for the time being.

Hey happy new year hope it goes well. I have a question for you if you don-t mind. I-m just getting back into working out after a 20 year hiatus lol I-m 5-6- 180lbs. I have belly fat but not a whole lot anywhere else. Should I try to cut the fat first then build myself back up or should I just get on a weight training regimen and hit everything until the fats gone. It-s difficult to get any clarity sifting through all the information on the web so I thought I-d ask a professional.

Just cardio or eat less. This isn't like a big weight loss project where you need to reset your set point, start lifting, take a few cold showers, do some IF, whatever. I'm about to cut a couple pounds, like 2-4. I had a great bulk. Look better than I ever have. One of the things that was really keeping me from gaining (cuz I've been working out off and on since I was 14 years old) was just sheer not enough food. That was a real lightbulb.

I've been doing -OMAD- for a year now (only dinner. Lost 80lbs. now ive been working out in early am for the last 3 months ending workout with isopure zero carb now I see that I'm starting to bulk up but still want to lose more weight. omad is great but my one meal isn't the best choice. I could and will do better! Thank you for your videos!

I randomly started doing this before watching your video. It-s been working great and I saw your video pop up and now I got that solid confirmation bias going on. Good stuff buddy, i dig it. It doesn-t feel restricting at all. Best of all I don-t have to tell anybody -can-t eat that- cuz im on some weirdo diet

Lots of people will tell you that intermittent fasting is not good for bodybuilding,
If you need to lose weight, it takes away the snaking that will ruin your diet.
Plan your meals. Eat them during your window. Leave the fridge closed and the fork in the drawer outside of your window.
It works.

Baffled why all you self proclaimed healthy folks eat a high glycemic diet. Potatoes are like eating a bowl of sugar which is ironic in reference to your comment about eating candy around the holidays. Potatoes and rice are candy inside the body they are both higher glycemic than table sugar.

I-ve been fasting for a while and love it but one thing I haven-t seen much talk about is macros specifically protein-So obviously hitting your maintenance macros is unlikely right- so what should be your protein intake goal? How long should you fast?
