Breakfast @ 8:00 am Handful of bacon 4 eggs scrambled w/ vegetables Workout @ 4:30 pm (I find this is the best time for me to exercise) Dinner @ 5:30 pm Large steak topped w/ cheese,sauteed onions,and mushrooms Large mixed vegetable salad w/ homemade dressing Sleep @ 10:30 pm No grains,processed sugars,artificial fats,or non-whole dairy.This may seem crazy to some people,but your body is designed to run on fat and it's a vital component of many parts of your system.Eating like this has helped me shed fat,build muscle,and heal a ton of damage a typical western diet has done to my digestive system.Not sure I could go with one meal a day,I like to split my calories into two 900-1000 calorie meals.

My daily activities are enough work out for me. I'm 5'2" and 100 lbs. I'm strong and fit. I've always believed that people eat too much. Eating 3 meals a day just because it's traditional. I've always told people, eat when you're hungry, not just because it's 'time to'. After breakfast and lunch, it's no wonder folks are grabbing those energy drinks in the afternoon, our bodies digest more efficiently when we are at rest. I've always found eating breakfast would make me fall asleep around 9am. So I don't do that anymore. One delicious, wholesome meal full of variety, is all we eat each day. I do not 'work out'.

Like between 5-9pm and how long should you be eating dinner? I have 15 minutes to eat something before I go to my second job and I am not sure I can get in 700 cals that fast. Usually I will eat a small amount before work and then 3 hours later another small amount. Will that still work with the WD? So is there a certain time line you need to eat dinner?

What will happen as a result is that you will actually look bigger at that weight. Going from 12% to around 6% creates an "illusion" of bigger muscles. Your arms will definitely lean out when you hit 6% body fat...everything will come together. At 12% your body doesn't have a lot of fat, but the fat it does have is scattered a bit of different parts of your body. Hope that helps, Rusty bj,

What I've found is that fasting seems to get my body in the best condition to burn body fat for my cardio workout. I don't worry about lean muscle loss, because of the HGH boost that doing intense cardio on an empty stomach provides...plus of the incredible nutrient partitioning of the meal I eat after my fasted workout. It has worked really well for me. There are certainly quite a few people who do well with Intermittent Fasting, but there does need to be more studies. Great comment! Probably as good as my original post! Rusty Lou,

I very occasionally fast but just once every three weeks or so. I came across an article (I've copied and pasted below) discussing this research mentioning some shortcomings - wondered whatchoo thought!: "A "Controlled" Study? A recent study led by Stote compared the effects of 1 meal with 3 meals per day, and was the first trial of its kind to control calories between randomly assigned groups [17]. Curiously, the 1-a-day group lost slightly more bodyweight and bodyfat, and gained a small amount of lean mass. Given those results, it's heralded in some fitness circles as the long-awaited shred of research supporting Ramadan-style (12-16 hour daily) fasting for achieving the Holy Grail of body re-composition. As always, things are never as simple as they seem once the details are exposed. A number of serious design flaws, including common ones such as a small sample size (15 participants completed the trial) and short duration (2 week lead-in, 6 week treatment periods) plague the quality of the conclusions. The withdrawal of 5 subjects was a 28% dropout rate, which raises the huge question of how different the results might have been if the participants hung in there. The authors noted this was anomalously high compared to the typical dropout rate from feeding studies at their facility, which is roughly 6-7%. Statistical outcomes can easily swing either direction due to individual differences in a small sample. Now let’s take a look at how the key limitation of this trial cripples its validity. The most crucial short-sight of the investigation was its use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for body composition assessment. In a previous study illustrating its inaccuracy for fasting protocols, Faintuch’s team used BIA to measure body composition changes in non-obese subjects undergoing a 42 day fast, consuming only water, vitamins, and electrolytes [31]. BIA registered an unrealistic 32% decrease in bodyfat, and an overall gain in lean mass. The researchers themselves concluded that these impossible readings proved BIA an inappropriate method for this type of protocol. It’s baffling that Stote chose BIA out of all the available methods, given BIA’s woeful track record in fasting research, likely attributable to the aggressive water redistribution found in fasting patients. Since we don't have reliable readings of the study's critical endpoints, its results are basically worthless."
