Intermittent Fasting (IF)

Eating “big” and less frequently is what it is all about….

Building an amazing physique is tough. It’s not for the average, impassionate bro. It takes time, perseverance and commitment. But then again, anything worth achieving rarely ever comes without a fight ~ JC Deen

You merely pick an 8 hour window  to consume all of your daily calories. Once the 8 hours is up, you fast for 16 hours until you approach the 8 hour window the following day. Easy enough. For the typical trainee who hits the gym in the afternoon (say 4 - 6 p.m.), you will fast intermittently from bedtime up until about 12-2 p.m. the following day. So, if your 8-hour window begins at 12 p.m., you will cease your feeding before 10 p.m.

Training days your calories (well for me) will be 1550 which is broken down into 40% Protein, 40% Carbs and 20% fats. On Rest days your calories (well for me) will be 1200 which is broken down into 50% Protein, 20% Carbs and 30% fats.

Training at least 3 times a week resistance training and 3 times a week cardio.
