Lifter problems

[UnTucked]

I'm no physician/dietician… Results not guaranteed, lol!

Just know with intermittent fasting, it will take a few weeks for your body and mind to adjust... Eating is a habit that's engrained in us through our individual societies and culture (Generally speaking, how we consume food, the amounts, the frequency, etc). Even when we're not hungry, we eat/consume calories. Breaking that cycle is difficult. Keep LOTS of water handy! When you start to feel "hunger", DRINK UP! It will fill your stomach, and satiate you, at least for a while. If you don't already drink coffee, I also recommend black coffee in the mornings to get you going. At least for the first few weeks, you'll likely need it until your body adjusts to burning your calories at a more even, steady pace.

Some interesting reads above. I have gone from 61kg to 74kg in 8 months and that's pretty much from having 3 consistent meals a day. I find my progress is massively hindered by drinking beer on a Friday, as I then won't train on the Saturday (chronic hangover sufferer, ask Al  :D) and end up eating shit like takeaways!

Haven't had a beer in 21 days and have beaten my deadlift and squat PB this month.

@UnTucked you seem blessed with a sweet metabolic rate!

The @UnTucked diet plan replaces black coffee with beer. It still works.

My great, great, great grandfather was Adonis….. Or, so I've been told, lol!

@Adam:

Life's all about balance, and that is not the end of the scale I want to be on

But at the end of the day if you can’t snatch your body weight, do you really even lift, bro?

I like jerks more than clean and snatches…

I’m just starting to lift. I did BJJ three times a week combined with a modified Keto w/ a 7Pm-noon fast and dropped from 298 to 208 in a year.

I’m now adding in some carbs and doing a more balanced diet while lifting to see if I can continue to burn fat stores while increasing strength/muscle. Did my first session with a strength/conditioning coach on Friday.

There’s a couple of guys at my Jiu jitsu gym I’m working with, Pedro Lima, who trains at World’s Gym, is who I worked out with Friday. Jason Cook,  owns CrossFit PH, and is trying to get me in his gym. I’m thinking a six week strength cycle with Pedro, followed by a 6 week strength/cond with Jason.

@joesaintjohn I see that you're half two-thirds the man you used to be!

Congratulations on the weight loss. That's a big drop, and you're looking good. Shame you're now going to have to spend a fortune on replacing your Iron Heart gear to fit your new, svelte frame.

Congrats @joesaintjohn ! If you're already doing BJJ, you might not need the conditioning on top of it. BJJ is already a near perfect HIIT workout and conditioning is brutal. I would do a couple slow paced 40mn endurance sessions a week.
