I'm 6 ft, 98kg, I've been lifting for about 1 and a half years. I've made some decent muscle gains but I'm still overweight.
I've had a few friends tell me about intermittent fasting and I've seen a few videos on the internet about it.
I was wondering if any of you guys have done it? And what was your experience like? Is it worth doing? I'm aiming to lose 15-20kg.

I'm only about 3 weeks into it but I've lost maybe 1-2 kgs (from 92-90). During that same time period I have been lifting for 45mins 3xweek as well, so I might have put on a few grams of muscle too.
I've read some studies that show that fasting every once in a while may have benefits, but I don't know if I prefer it before just eating less cals overall..
In order to stay not hungry I have to drink lots of water and tea/coffee, which doesn't feel natural.
Sure, you enjoy the food more if you wait for it, but you won't feel as relaxed as normal if you're feeling hungry all day.
You can always just eat less calorie dense food.
Heres a small piece of what little documentation I have of my journey. The loss of fat is barely noticeable imo, but I do see some difference.

Yes, it works but you really should try instead of asking unaware faggots.

Ah, sweet. nice man.
I've just come off of ICF, and I'm doing a brosplit 5-7 days a week.
I really don't have a problem with not eating throughout the day, because I'm extremely busy and it's not really always convenient for me but thanks for the input. It's only been three weeks, just keep at it.
This is where I am at the moment

I don't think it's (BMI) really always an accurate measure, probably doesn't account for things like bone density... build or whatever else
I have scoliosis, and over the last 5 years have shrunk by 2 inches.
Do I still follow these charts at my original height, or my new height?
when did IF become a normie thing?

bmi is from WWI when everyone was a hungry skeleton.

I actually don't know

original.
I'm doing it right now. I was working at the gym for 2 months, working at losing weight and I'll admit that my diet wasn't that great. I allowed myself Chinese food on the weekends and a day of junk food on Friday. In 2 months my weight went from 155 to 152 lbs. Terrible.
Now I'm doing intermittent fasting. I had actually done it before during winter, and I had gone from 192 to 175 lbs. So I've had success.
I find it easier. Don't you get that something when you're hungry, you get so hungry to the point you're not even hungry any more? Thats how I usually feel. Its easier for me to eat 1 big meal in one day, than to eat a measured breakfast and then a measured dinner. Its also more difficult to resist breaking my diet.
The only down side to fasting is that you're less energetic, less motivated. Right now its raining, even snowed a little, and that put me off from going to the gym today.
Also, fuck captcha

Exactly my point, I don't feel like I have the time or the energy to really focus on measuring meals out like that. I'm sure if I hit my macros during my feasting period I'll be fine though.
I've heard with IF though that eventually hunger symptoms fuck off and cravings disappear.
Just a tip that worked for me:
In the beginning I was saying ''oh ok only eat again after 24 hours. Nice.'' Then I proceed to spend the entire day thinking about food and how many hours until I could eat. Thats a wrong approach. You eat then you deny food until the time you are allowed to eat again. DETACH yourself from eating/food and realized theres more in life. Learn to enjoy all the other things you have going, and if food comes to your mind or you see someone eating and get a sudden urge to eat, remember that you don't need it to be happy. The key to succeed is denial.
I'm not a fatass, I've been under normal weight my entire life. IF helped me because I used to binge eat during exams and that not healthy even though I didn't get fat.

Go to the library and get any anthropometry book written after the 80's and you gonna see it has many flaws. The best way to tell if you need to change something is looking in the mirror. We are very good at telling what is health and not, despite this mainstream body acceptance.
