So assuming you get 8 hours of sleep, and you wake up at 6:00am, you pretty much fasted from 6am to 2pm, that's an 8 hour fast.
Did you notice any weakness at all especially when you got hungry first thing in the morning? Any dizziness?
Did you include Amino Acids while you were fasting?
Could you elaborate more?
Also when did you work out? During the fasting hours or did you prefer after you broke the fast?
My last meal is at 10pm, and then I will fast all the way until 2pm the next day. So it really doesn't matter what time I wake up, as I am always fasting for 16hours. I get all of my meals in in 8 hours. I still eat very clean, I just eat often. Every 1.5-2 hours.
It's not so bad for me so far, but I adjust to change very well. I have a very lenient schedule. I'm going for a body recomp. I'm at 205 @ 12% BF. By June , I plan to be 195 @ 8%. I'm just doing ano week or so run with it now to gage how I like it and how it effects me
Some days I will do fasted cardio, but at the END of my fast period, from 1pm-2pm and then immediately consume 10g of Creatine and 30g of fast carbs. And the my meals will begin 30 min. Later. And the my workout will be later in the evening after a few meals and about 100 of carbs later.
Sometimes, like today, I will get my workout in from 12:30 to 2pm. Both weights followed by HIIT Cardio. Then I will again, take creatine and carbs and then begin my meals 30 minutes later.
My pumps are incredible when working out fasted. Albeit I sacrifice a little strength and get gassed easy, but the body is very resilient and will adjust itself in a week or so. I also seem to have an increased mental focus and overall better mood during the day while I'm fasted. As opposed to a more tired, groggy feeling while in a fed state.
I really like it thus far, and if I can go from 12 to 8% BF in 8 weeks on this, then I will keep it as a staple when it comes to prep and recomp for sure.
