Sure.
Good to always be hungry. But most people have no clue what real hunger is.
That is when your body is primed for the nutrients. My opinion. (With this crowd,
forced eating is a topic I would not touch with a ten foot pole, you don't
hand people clubs to beat you with.)
Fasting. I try and do a 2 day fast about every month. It usually starts with me not
being really hungry around dinner time when I might pass on dinner and start a
2 day fast. But no hard and fast schedule or rules here.
For you and your 8 meal a day (you must be a furnace) you might just want to
pick a day or two every month and just don't eat. It's not that hard. You
won't die and your physique will not suffer.
Extended fasting occurs about every 3 months. I coordinate it with my blood
donation. (I also take a 1 week break from training following my donation.)
I will have good dinner after my donation then start a fast the next day. 4 - 5 days.
Very easy and doable. Again, you won't die and your physique will not suffer.
Many people are afraid of losing muscle and rightly so, but personally I don't
see this as an issue. Any muscle you lose during a fast can easily be regained
in your first week back in the gym. If not, you are doing something wrong.
During the fasting, like I said, I do not lift weights. I walk every day, stretch and
meditate. Takes about 2 hours, about the same amount of time I allocate for my
body 6 days a week.
Water only. No supps. Not even vitamins. I usually drink only when thirsty
which totals about 3 liters per day and is my goal. I will set this out ahead of
time and it will be consumed throughout the day. Of course exercise
and environmental factors must be factored in (think heat).
And personally I would put on hold all AAS, GH, and insulin. I do TRT once
every 7 days so this is not an issue for me.
I see this much the same as meditation, it is giving my brain a vacation. Same
with a fast, I am giving my body a vacation.
This what I do. Your mileage may vary.
Probably too many words but it is something I can do
