I've been reading several posts about intermittent fasting. I've done it before, eating omad and keto for about a year. I went from 215 with a pot belly to basically a skinny-fat 165 with no muscle tone. I could walk to Dallas, but overall felt weak. Due to work schedule, I wasn't able to train krav maga during that time, and when I went back, talk about hitting the wall! NO energy, NO endurance, NO power. It was bad. So I added carbs back in and ate normal (no fasting). Then I quickly returned to my former self.
I am wanting to drop a little body fat ahead of my first planned cycle. I'm now at 220lbs and look WAY better than I did at both my previous 165 or 215. I have muscle tone and strength/endurance, but still need to lose a little fat. I'm guessing I'm around 15-20% bf, but not sure.
How may I adapt an IF regimen to burn off that belly fat without tanking muscle tone, strength, or endurance?
