I think you may have found your answer there. Make sure you are eating plenty of healthy protein, quality carbs and essential fats too....as the body sometimes can signal hunger as wanting more nutrients/vtimains/minerals...because it is lacking it and hunger is the only way it knows how to signal you to listen.

It's easy for most people not eating breakfast because they always complain about not being hungry at mornings (So they skip the morning although "they know" It would be healthy). Maybe I don't eat enough the day before? And what if I am very hungry at mornings?

There are a few good things that Bodybuilders have been able to contribute to the exercise world. They basically made it cool to work out. But there are a lot of pointless aspects to bodybuilding, such as bulking phases, that just do not carry over to practical life. Helder - Yeah.

All i got was fat and my cholesterol rising. I thought to myself, bulking never again, now it's one of my fights, telling people never to bulk up.

BINGO! Find what you enjoy and gets you the best results and you are doing it the right way for you.....I can give you all the research on what works and suggestions (such as you can do more interval/heart rate training with high rep KB sntaches in the AM for the fat burning effect post workout in a fasted state and do more pure strength KB work at night so your muscles can get maximum nutrients) on how to use it, but it's up to you to implement them correctly for your lifestyle and schedule. Anyone who tells you there is only one way to do anything right is probably just trying to sell you a diet book or has just read one.

Mike- I think I might try doing morning cardio and then fasting after. I will move up my fasting window and eat around 1pm and then do resistance (kettlebell) training after work (5pm). That way I am in my eating window after my resistance workout. As you said before...it's all about making this work with your current lifestyle - right? Thank you both for your response.

Usually best to eat after resistance training, cardio is ok to fast after. If you are worried about muscle loss you could try Vit C and amino acid supplementation. Different types of training result in different hormonal expression and recovery needs. Steph - it depends on your workout, are you doing “cardio” or “resistance training” as their is a difference.

Either way, I'll eat my biggest meal right after training, and the rest of the day is either fasting, under eating, or recovery meals. I don't agree with not eating anything after training. If you still want to do an official fast until 3 pm, then I suggest eating a small, 200 calories meal right after training that has both carbs and fat. I like to eat real food, but you can also make do with a quick protein shake. - Parth Hey Steph,

My question is when is the best time to work out if you are doing IF? I know it is best to work out in a fasted state and I prefer to get my workout in right away in the morning. I usually fast until 3pm - this obviously does not allow me to eat post workout. What do you all suggest? My goal is fat loss. Thanks! Steph Hello,
