for double the amount of milk, you get way less fat and more protein

madonna has opinions on this matter. she hired this lady to analyse every single bacteria in her stomach and she's a big proponent of it.

Does anyone have any opinions on/experience with intermittent fasting? I mean, does it actually do anything, or is it just another broscience fad? I kind of like the convenience of not having to bother with breakfast, and haven't really noticed any drop in energy doing all of my exercise fasted, but it seems like this has the potential to be a huge mistake. For what it's worth I'm trying to lose as much weight as possible (in a healthy way, I mean, not just starving myself) without worrying about gaining muscle for the time being- partly to make rock climbing and bodyweight workouts easier, but mostly because the last 18 months or so of concentrating mostly on weight training over cardio I've bulked up quite a bit more than is usual for me and it just feels weird and awkward.

back to protein for a minute
i think moving up protein intake is about protein feeding muscle growth but also changing the ratio of macronutrients so protein makes up more of the pie
because protein / protein+fat isn't going to be stored as fat and will improve body composition

dylannn, Friday, 3 October 2014 05:18 (nine years ago) link

treeship it's very interesting and educational to track your calories + macronutrient intake for a couple weeks. even if you don't continue you get an idea of what you are eating and you might be way off just eating based on instinct or thinking you were sorta under or sorta near maintenance calories.

so much for the death of the nutrition nazis thread

Does anyone have any opinions on/experience with intermittent fasting?

I might be able to chime in here. I did a weight loss bet last year and dropped about 55 pounds in 4 months. Which was something I really needed to do anyway. Intermittant fasting feels faddish but it worked wonders for me; the whole "a good breakfast will fuel your entire day" is total BS for me, a good breakfast will make me hungry 2 hours later and I'll eat the same amount at lunch. And late night snacking never kept me full into the morning (as I would justify it to myself). Real simple for me, just eat between 12 PM and 8 PM...not too radical. Didn't mess with my energy levels or anything and I still do it most days now.

If you want to stay your size and gain strength, do yoga. Seriously. Or look up ballet dancer exercises, i'm totally not shitting you. They work on gaining strength and lifting heavy while doing exercises (stretches/yoga) to keep their muscles long and lean. But that's a whole other level of crazy. One that I considered myself, though.

Can I just... So I am a known yoga Stan and I can confirm that as far as swimsuit season goes nothing does better for me than a serious vinyasa class 5x/week + maybe some boxing.

BUT the notion that any kind of exercise gives you "long/lean" muscles is some dancechick broscience. What gives you long muscles is genetics and what gives you lean muscles is eating less.

The right kind of yoga will def get you lean tho and give you more range of motion everywhere which feels fucking awesome fwiw.

hmmm, maybe that's the way to go: yoga + running or cardio + not having too many refined carbs, french fries, or pints of beer. i should take advantage of the fitness classes while i still have access to the university gym and i know they have yoga there.

Treeship, Friday, 3 October 2014 18:36 (nine years ago) link

maybe like, push ups too.

Treeship, Friday, 3 October 2014 18:36 (nine years ago) link

do you have some aversion to weights? it's not like you're instantly going to look like kai greene from doing a barbell routine three days a week dude. like, feel free to do yoga or whatever but you can achieve the same thing you're trying to do with like stronglifts or some other routine.

clouds, Friday, 3 October 2014 19:16 (nine years ago) link

the gymbros you see with shirts that say "YOKED" or sth are in there 5 days a week and are eating planetary amounts of calories. lifting heavy weights will not necc make you look like that.

clouds, Friday, 3 October 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link

I'm pretty sure studies show that even letting your gaze linger on a barbell for a moment too long is the medical equivalent of injecting all the steroids on earth into your body.

Does anyone have any opinions on/experience with intermittent fasting?

Yes, it's done wonders for me. There's an ebook floating around called 'Eat. Stop. Eat.' by Brad Pilon that explains all the science and benefits of IT. I started with the leangains approach (short eating window) and it was good. I then tried a full 24 hour fast and it was even better. I do it now (on Sundays) and lift heavy M,W,F and am in the best shape of my life at 35.

Mark Sisson did a very informative series of posts on his blog, too.

It's also incredible how sharp your mind gets in the last 4 hours of a 24 hour fast. Good creative flow and clarity.

viacom dios, Friday, 3 October 2014 19:59 (nine years ago) link

I think when it comes to getting fit there's so much information out there and a lot of it is good, but for your own sanity I would just read the most popular posts on LeanGains and so from there. the dude's demeanor was kind of a turn off for me at first but he really, really does know what he's talking about

Maggie killed Quagmire (collest baby ever) (frogbs), Friday, 3 October 2014 20:06 (nine years ago) link

i do al lthree, run, lift, yoga. yoga and lifting are amazing together for me bc it makes my connective / breathing / moving body catch up to the mass if that makes any real sense at all plus i have a weak core so it really tightens my lifts helps me move correctly keep my spine extended and not injure myself. also i never was athletic at all yoga helps with that. p sure some ashtanga classes + eating heartily would address your goals treesh but just start something start small experiment imo. i add in weights cuz i like looking bigger it's motivational people call me 'sir' and stuff h/t to patriarchy.

mattresslessness, Friday, 3 October 2014 20:29 (nine years ago) link

sort of want to say people who do weights for everything are a little deluded imo. like i was reading some ridiculous exercise science-y article about getting your calves swole and the solution was to do this very awkward power-calve-jump move on a giant calve machine and it's like come on just run up a hill meathead.

mattresslessness, Friday, 3 October 2014 20:38 (nine years ago) link

tbf that first ashtanga class will snap yr head back

(unless they're super-orthodox in which case you'll be excused after 15 minutes)

intermittent fasting is a fascinating idea but man i'm getting culty fake science vibes from people talking abt (no offense, if that's possible...)

lol! yeah i just do the main lifts don't really do any accessory work - squats, deadlift,bench press,overhead press and some upright rows .

(•̪●) (carne asada), Friday, 3 October 2014 20:53 (nine years ago) link

running up hills is fine if u want strong-ass calves that can do things but all that cardio will set u back

if u want meat cantaloupes back there u gotta lift bro

resulting post (rogermexico.), Friday, 3 October 2014 21:00 (nine years ago) link

oh yeah should have said maybe a beginning power class or something. i do a less demanding non strict ashtanga-based power class and it kicks my ass i still lose it towards the end though no one cares.

xp that is true but they look weeeird imo

mattresslessness, Friday, 3 October 2014 21:02 (nine years ago) link

oh yeah - ashtanga-based is a whole other thing. much easier to find and will kick your ass just fine.

pretty sure there's been some recent Science about fasting that says it's a Good Thing when done correctly but, you know, idk

Kinda think it's like paleo - you don't actually need to live like a caveman, but the basic concepts amount to a lifestyle that will result in calorie restriction for most Americans until they've dropped enough weight that meat+veg can do it, so it works.

The problems I've heard about with IF are kind of like those with any other long-term calorie restriction - decline in libido, etc..

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Friday, 3 October 2014 22:18 (nine years ago) link

There's one thing I've run into my first week doing IF that seems like a positive development. I'm still having the same difficulty as people upthread getting "enough" protein (1g/lb bodyweight seems insane), but since I'm concentrating on getting that first in a shorter amount of time, and eating a big post-workout meal first since I always do my major exercise for the day (weights, cardio, whatever) right at the end of my fasting period, I'm having actual difficulty eating up to my target calories because I'm so damn full.

this is a good article on the subject. I agree its a little culty but the fact that you don't have to buy anything makes it seem more legit (plus, it worked wonders for me)

i actually have fainted from not eating (not since hs tho and it only happened once)

on hour 22 of a 24 hour fast...this ain't bad

Maggie killed Quagmire (collest baby ever) (frogbs), Saturday, 4 October 2014 23:32 (nine years ago) link

ok so today i did the first day of "stronglifts", which is 5x5 squats, 5x5 bench, 5x5 barbell rows. in two days i will do 5x5 squats, 5x5 overhead press, 5x5 deadlift, and then in two days after that i'll go back to the first one.

this seems doable for 10-12 weeks. add this to my cardio and running and i think i'll get a more balanced physique. i'm afraid of my quads getting too big bc the program is so squat focused and i wear skinny jeans, but i agree with what i have read that squats are a good "full body" exercise. overall i like how this program is compound rather than isolation exercises. overdeveloping certain muscles seems scary to me.

Treeship, Sunday, 5 October 2014 00:37 (nine years ago) link

someone either wears skinny jeans or gets sw0le. there's no in between. the trick is to find out which one you are and be that.

resulting post (rogermexico.), Sunday, 5 October 2014 01:25 (nine years ago) link

what is going to make you a better person? having huge thighs or wearing skinny jeans? this is a no brainer, treesh

flatizza (harbl), Sunday, 5 October 2014 01:27 (nine years ago) link

which reminds me -- i need new pants.

clouds, Sunday, 5 October 2014 01:39 (nine years ago) link

i have huge powerful thighs so i dont squat because i dont think stylish pants will fit me anymore
