Bro I can't do it. Theres just too much research that goes against fasting for cutting.
We all knows mikes on the juice so if he's not utilising it it gives me doubt.
Also not excuses but like to train at nights with all meals for the day. I find my body is much weaker when i dont have food.
1. you gotta remember that humans are supposed to feast/famine, literally how our guts evolved. we aren't grazers like cows, goats who have completely different guts.
2. pro bodybuilders like Hadi and Big Ramy fast for religious/cultural reasons and have Mr. O trophies
3. people in blue zones fast and are the healthiest people in the world and they all have different diets but what they do have in common with nutrition is they fast
4. if fasting doesn't work, why are ketones shown in urine after 20 hours? of course it works and its the most effective way to reach and stay in ketosis
5. many pro athletes including tom brady, rob gronkowski, jaylen waddle, and Derrick Henry.. along with MMA guys, soccer players, etc. follow time restricted eating. they won't even eat their first meal of the day until 4 or 5pm.
definately check out my log and look at the research, its there. don't go by what some bald meathead 'youtube dr' says who is reading off a paper lol. he didn't site a single study and was just spouting bro science. i could destroy his reasoning in 5 seconds. his last point that you can't grow muscle fasting shows how ignorant he is. when you fast your hgh goes sky high, that is why you actually hold muscle and even grow it when fasting. the study i posted in my log was done on ATHLETES (not a lazy study they did on obese people to push an agenda) who were already in great shape, and showed not only did they burn a ton of fat doing alternate day fasting but they actually GAINED muscle, even while keeping their protein the same. so fasting is a weapon and there are many ways to do it.
if you are unable to train fasted then that is because you've built up a lot of insulin resistance or you simply became addicted to carbs which is not good, but luckily that can be reversed. it will be uncomfortable at first for a few weeks but once that switch goes off you won't want to train any other way. don't worry your blood sugar doesn't drop and drop to 0 when you fast because your body will slow release stored up sugar back into the blood stream, so you actually will feel more energetic and be more balanced when fasting. you won't get hypo at all, quite the opposite
in your specific situation this is how i would use fasting since you train late in the day.
i would do fasted cardio in the AM. high intensity training for 15 minutes. your body will be forced to tap into those fat stores. again it might suck at first but you will force your body to adapt.. the key making this most successful is try and be atleast 20 hours into your fast this way you are in ketosis. then after this don't eat till midday. let the fat burn go for hours after.
