Your lashing out at me due to fear and weakness. You don’t have the resolve to do the 16/8 so you’re trying to bring me down to soothe your own failures… the whole forum can see through your fear, pal.
It takes more resolve to eat proper than to look for a quick fix from a fad diet, mate. You’re like the fat girls from HR in my canteen “going paleo” for January looking for a magic bullet to make up for your poor lifestyle. If you had the discipline to eat proper like me you could eat what and when you want and your weight wouldn’t fluctuate and you would have a low body fat lean and athletic physique like I do.
What the fuck are you going on about? All top athletes use the 16/8 for short periods… Soccer/ NFL players have all used it. Personal trainers use it themselves and get their clients to use it- Kevin Downes and Seanie Tobin were two of the Limerick players put on it over Christmas to reduce body fat. Not becuase they were over-weight or like the girls in your canteen but because it aided their specific needs at that part of their training programme - it’s about specific goals… you really are clueless when it come to diet/ nutrition and sports.
You’re not a top athlete mate. Stop looking for a magic bullet.
No magic bullet - I have personal goals laid out.---- The difference is you eat to fit into skinny jeans to attract the porkers in your office - I eat for goals.
As it is, , i’d destroy you in any physical activity. I’d out run you, out lift you and i’d murder you in a fight… You might get the pulse of the porkers in your office racing, but let the mens stuff to the men please.

There is not a single rideable woman in my office. Not a one. You’d probably win a fight because I gather you’re a bigger lad than me. That’s how these things go. I will lift more weight than you as a percentage of body weight, if not outright, for any exercise. I’d probably beat you on any distance run too. Also, my thighs are too big and powerful for skinny jeans, slim fit is where it’s at and far more fashionable in any event.
It’s very simple - don’t eat for 16 hrs and eat 2-3 medium sized meals within 8 hours… time it so that when you wake you only have 2-3 hrs of the fasting left. So if you have your dinner by 6.30pm you can eat again at 10.30am. Dont over eat after fast period… you can have as much water /black coffee as you want… Ideally you train within a few hours of breaking fast but with work that may not suit… so if you could fit a session in after work and have your dinner by 6.30/7 you’re laughing… you only need to do this for a short period… some people only do it 2/3 times a week on training days.

Also - the energy levels are out of this world… I was up till nearly 4 am last night, wired to the moon… I’ll be going for a jog late tonight or pulling the stomach off myself before bed tonight to bring me down a notch or two.
Add sleep patterns being fucked to the “benefits” of this diet. @Horsebox are you really being taken in by this?
Is this a known side effect of doing this or is it just your anxiety about your impending change of address? I’m not the best sleeper at the best of times and don’t need to be adding to that.
Also, on weekdays I train before work, 7-8a.m. How would this fit in with this?
Probably some hidden anxiety alright, pal. I have been far more energetic tho… You can train fasted no probs - if you’re worried about breaking down muscle while training fasted just drink some BCAAs - you can pick a bag up in any supplement store/ website.
Ok. I’m fucking doing this. I’ll start next week and get back to you.

Amazing scenes.
Im still getting over that programme the other night on RTE1 about sugar and how much we consume. It seems the only save food is one that hasn’t been processed. Anyone eating those microwave dinners needs their head examined.
Build it up slowly but don’t stick religiously to it.
Body adapts quickly. Keep it giessing
its a real eye opener, I watched “the men who made us fat” around a year ago and it changed my life in ways I could never have thought possible, sugar is in everything, the only food you can trust is stuff you prepare yourself, nearly everything in the supermarket is garbage, I’d even have reservations about eating in restaurants these days
