Punked Up · 08-10-2012, 12:51 PM

My maitenance is around 2400 and then my cut is around 1900-2000 (I calculated it online, guessing it's at least pretty accurate). I think I'll stop cutting soon, maybe just a few more lbs. I'll up the protein and start packing on some muscle if I can. If I can cut some fat and lift heavy I'd hope to lose like 5 pounds of fat and bulk about 20-25 pounds? Still not too educated on all of this but I can try.

20-25lb of PURE muscle will take ages. Just bulk and aim for 1.5lb-2lb of lean mass a month.

Post in here again when you've finished cutting and we'll help you out.

i've been doing intermittent fasting(IF) so far. love it. just in case anyone was curious b/c I asked about it last time i posted in here. i'll eat between 2pm and 8pm then 'fast' till 2pm the next day. i'm finding it hard to consume all my calories in that 8 hour window (surprisingly) and what I'm finding is b/c i'm making myself so full i'm not really snacking like I would. It's also been pleasant to skip breakfast. all i have to say on that really.

Back in May during prom weekend I didn't eat anything but a pretzel and diet coke from the boardwalk from the time I woke up until I passed out at like 2am. That combined with walking the boardwalk for 12 hours and I lost like 4lbs that weekend.

But that's because I kept busy and didn't really have an appetite to begin with. Nonetheless I DID keep it off and lost another 6-8lbs to get me where I'm at now. (160lbs) It's probably not the healthiest weight loss method out there, but it works exceptionally quick and if you have the work ethic and discipline to eat right and work out afterwards you can keep it off. I just can't do it anymore because I'm never that busy. Don't really have a need to either, but I've tried.

^just to make it clear, you're not responding to me or 'supporting' what i'm saying are you? i'd assume not but you start off kind of funny. if you are (which you're surely not) this is not the same thing really.

More or less just sharing my experiences with fasting is all.

oh okay. well i'm not the ambassador of IF but what i will say it's not really fasting. I consume all the calories I need in eight hours. I'm certainly getting all the food I need. i recommend it really for anyone. Last couple of days I've just felt leaner and fitter than I ever have.

This is something I'd like to try as an experiment but just to make sure, do you mean 6 hour window or did you just a make a mistake with the times?

**i$e** · 08-10-2012, 06:32 PM

I might try IF.

**Jupe Skywalker** · 08-10-2012, 06:43 PM

sorry SNOWMAN yes I did. I meant 6 hour eating window. Do try it if you want to, it's awesome. i can just feel my fat percentage going right down.
