This right here. Don't fall for the bro science. I've been intermittent fasting for months now and I'm getting the best results I've ever had.RickRock said:Angel said:What would be consider the right time to eat breakfast to kickstart my metabolism so it won't go into starvation mode?
Your body will not go into starvation mode, and contrary to what a lot out there will tell you, breakfast is not required to kickstart your metabolism. I did intermittent fasting for 3 years where my first meal wasn't until noon each day and I only ate until 8 PM fasting for the next 16 hours. I got into the best and most shredded shape of my life, including entering a contest.

I've always here that you need to eat breakfast right after you wake up to kickstart your metabolism they drilled that into my head, just didn't known if that was true or not, just wanted to verify that, I'm not always hungry when I wake up lolRickRock said:Angel said:What would be consider the right time to eat breakfast to kickstart my metabolism so it won't go into starvation mode?

Normally 2 eggs and a slice of low sodium ham, or just a protein shake. For my water I do drink a lot of water I have my water jug its probably half a gallon that I fill up twice a day and then some..JM750 said:Angel said:What would be consider the right time to eat breakfast to kickstart my metabolism so it won't go into starvation mode?
What would your typical breakfast look like? How much water are you taking in per day. Be honest. Everyone says a gallon. :roll:

Rick, for 16/8 IF can you set the 8 hour feeding period for any 8 hours? I ask because within 30 minutes after waking in the morning I have a protein shake with oats as my pre-workout, another immediately upon finishing in the gym, and a real food meal within 2 hours of that. So can my 8 hour feeding period be from say, 3am-11am? Or should I not worry about my pre/post WO shakes and morning meal and just hit the gym fasted and eat during the typical 12-8pm IF feeding period?
Yes, the 8 hour feeding window can be at any time that works best for you. Also keep on mind that workouts do not have to fall within that window. For example, even though I did a noon to 8PM feed, I worked out at 6 AM everyday fasted. I did drink BCAAs before working out, after workout, and every two hours until breaking fast (which I highly recommend) to keep protein synthesis working during the fastprestigealaska said:RickRock said:Angel said:What would be consider the right time to eat breakfast to kickstart my metabolism so it won't go into starvation mode?

Im not commenting on IF, ill leave that to rick... I personally love the morning oats but have you thought about ditching the first protein shake since your having another right after? Perhaps a substitute?

It has always worked for me to workout in the am versus pm. Just hate burping up lunch if I workout in the afternoons.
However when my old lady goes with me she sometimes has to eat during a workout due to hypoglycemia, but I aint waiting for her to eat fuckin breakfast my workout my rules. she better pack a lunch or some shit,

Excellent, thanks Rick! I already do the BCAA's/Glutamine/ALCAR pre/during/post WO, and throughout the entire waking day, so that's GTG.
