Does anyone have experience with fasting?
What method did you use and what were your results? Much muscle loss? Was the muscle loss worth the quick results?
Is is basically starving yourself for 24 hours a couple times a week?
I am 6'2, 106 kilos with decent lifts and muscle but a lot of fat.
I'd like to lose a good 10 kilos at least in a couple months. I can't really change my meals because my girlfriend is a gains goblin BUT she is Chinese and they are into the starving diets rather then changing the meals.
So this is my only option.
Bump for some first hand experience

Ive been doing IF 17/5hr for the last three years. Basically skipping breakfast and eating lunch around 2-3 pm. Feels good as I have a lot clearer mind in the morning. I've done a bunch of labwork and I consitently have high HDL and low ldl. Low C- reactive protein too ...and other markers of inflamation. I feel that subtle improvements were more apparent the first year but at this point its just my baseline self. It helped me recover from a hiking injury (lmao i know) and I just started getting back on the gains train 3-4 months ago. Every now and then I do a big boy 24 hour fast and that shit is amazing, *euphoric*
My weight has remained constant at 75kg and I don't even count calories, just eat super clean.
Overall I would recommend it for a male...just making sure you that you have your good fats and quality protein covered. Fasting on a low fat diet is hormonal disaster.
My body is in between sexy skelleton and jacked, idk would post pic if anyone is interested.

I am interested please post.
You skip breakfast every day?
I was planning on just having normal days but adding in a couple whole days of zero eating each week.
So for example
Monday-Thursday= Normal eating,
Friday = Nothing all day
Sat = Normal
Sunday = Nothing all day
All while training 3 days a week. Not training on a fasting day

I'm not claiming any max asthethics or strength.... I'm just posting this as proof as the kind of body that can be achieve easily by fasting every day, no muscle lost no weakness or bad mood/cognition. Lifting 3-4 times a week and running sprints twice a week.

Yea every day. I would say that going from normal feeding to that schedule would put a lot of strain on your body. If you wanna go 24 hrs do it at most once a week if you are a beginner. You can experiment with daily IF and limiting garbage food, that should work wonders for weight-loss.

Honestly pretty good. Could use more mass but very defined.
Would you recommend what I suggested here >>35210271?
Can you give me a detailed example of your average week?
I am just afraid of muscle loss but by the looks of you I think i'd be happy with the results.

Yea I'm working on it, I lost around 4kilo of meat from being injured plus busy w gradschool but Its slowly coming back.
Daily eat clean between 2pm and 9pm, very clean lots of veggies, animal meat, no processed junk, no sugar yadda yadda.
Once a week or every two weeks I fast 24 hours, which means skip breakfast and lunch and then go eat some Korean BBQ, pure bliss
