Helder - People who are trying to make gains find it hard to believe that they need to workout less (in most cases). That and of course eat some more. I don’t like the word “hardgainer” as it sounds like a crutch for someone to use. Many are just doing the right things in the wrong way….but show them the right way…and all of a sudden anything is possible! No more crutch…only results!

Nice story, it’s good to know that more people are achieving their goals. Most hardgainers suffer a lot with frustration simply because they’re mislead, specially by bodybuilding magazines and so called trainers who don’t have a clue about what is to be an hardgainer. It’s good to show everyone that with the right methods anyone can reach their goals.

Hedda - funny how most of us have naturally done something like this…as fasting is really a natural instinct (just look at any animal/person when they are sick…and the last thing they want is food). Modern media has said breakfast is the most important meal and eating 6x a day is the only way to lose weight…..which is not true. Our bodies need time off to heal…and with the ever increasing rates of diseases, IBS, inflammation, diabetes, degenerative disorders, etc….our bodies need help desperately. IF is great for both a physical and mental reset I find….sometimes we just need a timeout to get the right perspective and back on track. Glad you found the site.

WOW! I can’t believe I have finally found IF.It’s Great! I’ve been living this way of my own accord for awhile, and I just wanted to chime in and say how happy i am to know I’m not the only person who doesn’t think it’s bad not to eat breakfast or to go a few extra hours without eating as long as you eat healthy, and that it’s ok for a workout to be fun and different every day so long as you get moving. As someone who has food allergies and bad digestion I find my body responds well to the occasional fast and that it helps to reset everything after a bad reaction. It’s good to know that this is a natural and healthy thing for people to do, and that it isn’t just me. In short, Thanks for a fantastic website and all the helpful info!I’m hoping that by doing IF regularly after reading all of this I can ward off some of my bad days instead of only using fasts as a reset button.
Cheers!
