Yo! What
is big pimpin!
I am chilling next to the pool right now, the weather is hot & summer is in 3 weeks, I am super pumped for beach workouts & pool parties, are you?
Like I said last time, I have been Intermittent Fasting to lean down
& am getting great results!
Today I wanna share my step by step IF Diet checklist so you can see how I eat:
6AM-11:30AM - Wake Up, Work & Half a Gallon of Drink Water (No food here)
12PM-3:30PM: Break my fast by eating 20 grams of a vegan protein shake, green supplement & 1 tbsp of coconut oil
If I am hungry I'll eat 3 eggs and a big salad after my 1st meal (but I usually skip
this)
4PM-8PM: This is my big eating window & I eat all of my food to hit my macros during this time
8PM-10PM Read, Work more, and get ready for
sleep
That's the structure of my diet & as you can see I am basically not eating much until 4PM-8PM
I actually workout from around 6-8PM so I have to extend the eating window till 10PM most times (This hasn't affected the diet at all)
I have always done some type of Intermitting Fasting intuitively but now I am being very strategic & following a routine.
I know this diet goes against most of what you have heard of:
- You gotta eat 6 small meals a day
- Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
- Don't have carbs at the end of the day or you'll get fat
- Just eat as much as you can all day in order to gain muscle
All these eating structures work but I am a big believer on optimizing your diet to meet your lifestyle.
I am very busy in the mornings so this eating structure allows me to be super productive without worrying about food.
My only goal is to eat all my calories & hit my macros during my 8 hr eating window. If i do that I get results, easy as that.
Since I started this diet:
- I have more mental clarity
- I am more productive
- I am way more energized
- Have better digestion
- And have gotten leaner (abs are coming
soon)
It did take a bit to get adjusted to this diet since I felt really hungry in the mornings but I adjusted in about 2 weeks.
There is a lot of articles, videos & programs on the science of why IF works so effectively.
But
most DON'T FOCUS on Optimizing Health & Testosterone.
They simply tell you that as long as you hit your calorie & macro goal you can eat whatever you want when you want (Pizza, burgers, tacos all are allowed as long as they fit your macros)
And I think it's great
that there is flexibility but to me optimizing for testosterone is my #1 goal right now because it will make me build muscle so much easier once I get lean.
With all of that said trough my hunt on finding how to master Intermitting Fasting I always kept going to 1 book.
In fact it was
the first book I read on the subject but I kept dismissing it because it was so simple.
And it's the exact diet that I am
following right now.
Jason Ferrugia (the author) has coached many skinny guys to build muscle and this is the diet plan that he gives them to gain muscle while dropping fat at the same time.
If Intermitting Fasting & boosting testosterone sound like a perfect combo for your goals
& lifestyle I highly recommend you check out his book.
It will make this diet simple.
==> Actually if you do buy The Renegade Diet send me the receipt & I'll give you my workout program: The Push Up Diet as a bonus!
So you'll have a simple diet & workout program to build muscle!
If you have ever tried Intermittent Fasting or have questions about it feel free to reply
to this email, I'll clarify things for you ;)
