So, I like to try different things(duh). I follow Tyler Kasiliak (Nutrition Anchor) on instagram. He's a bigger name in motocross training. I enjoy his content and nutritional input. So I decided to try intermittent fasting.
I've only been doing this since last thursday but I sort of like it. Maybe it's just breaking up the monotony of life. Who knows. I basically eat dinner around 6, have a beer or two after and hit the sack around 9. I wake up at 4:40 and drink a cup of coffee at 5 and one again at 9. I'll have some water in between but find it's not too bad to make it til noon. I'll eat lunch and maybe my breakfast around 12:15. A cup of coffee on the way home before dinner. Then it's start over again.
I do the above on non intensity days. If I plan to do a harder ride the next day I will carb up at night. I'll also eat a nice protein filled breakfast before my run/ride. I'll hydrate and replenish calories during the ride and eat a healthy (recovery) meal afterwards.
In conclusion I feel that I am overall less hungry, I am not as hungry after dinner and I feel leaner. My hopes and wishes of IF are to burn off some excess fat. Basically your body goes into survival mode after 12 hours of fasting and starts to burn stored fat. I guess this is after your glycogen is depleted. Who has tried this and what are your thoughts?
