7 Things Your IF Diet Needs (Thread):

Intermittent Fasting is the overarching 'umbrella' system, that:

- Reduces your appetite
- Improves health
- Lowers insulin
- Increases HGH

All of which make fat loss WAY easier, regardless of what you eat.

HOWEVER...

You need to eat the right foods and do the right things under this 'umbrella system', if you want:

- A chiselled, sculpted physique (and face)
- To look good in all clothes year-round
- Lose fat without killing yourself
- To maintain or increase muscle while getting leaner

1) Black Coffee In The Morning

Nothing new here, but people's insistence on adding shite to their coffee never ceases to amaze me.

Calories can come later, when you've been fasted and burning fat for longer.

Next:

2) Red Meat

Nutrient dense, chewy as hell, and high in protein.

All three make fat loss significantly easier to achieve and maintain.

Next:

3) Chicken Breast

A lot of Carnivores will argue that it's inferior to red meat, and from a nutrient density standpoint, it is.

But nothing beats good ol' chicken breast as far as protein:calorie ratio, which becomes more important the leaner you get.

More:

You need high protein to:

A) Stay full
B) Maintain muscle

But you DON'T want to kick yourself out of a calorie deficit in the process, hence; the protein:calorie ratio.

Next:

4) Fish

Nothing beats fish for EFA's (essential fats).

Men Over 40:

Fish will increase your testosterone, all other things being equal.
Fish (tinned) can be a great way to snack on more protein before your meal if you're doing OMAD.

Get more.

Next:

5) Fruit

Great for pre, post, and 'intra' workout. I don't like the word 'intra', but the old-school bodybuilding bros had a point:

Carbs are best when timed with training.

Apples are my personal fave.

Next:

6) Veggies

Protein is brilliant, for the reasons I listed above. But it DOES come with a caloric cost, whether you want to argue it's 4 calories per gram vs 3.2 is besides the point.

Veggies on the other hand, provide you with satiation, WITHOUT any real caloric cost.

More

A really simple way to get a load of veggies into your diet, is to:

1) Bulk prep your meals on a Sunday
2) Use frozen veggies (after unfreezing, obviously)
3) Put them into each meal

You'll become FAR fuller for very little caloric 'expense'.

Finally:

7) Eggs

They're great.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a bigot.
