BenBiante 1st Gear May 22, 2018 Share May 22, 2018 Good morning! Had my HIIT run yesterday night. Today having cold storage salad with my home made oats. Looking forward to it! Weight wise still 0.5kg to BMI 25. Tomorrow will be going for lipid test. Last test in dec 2017 shows total cholesterol of 306. Hopefully these 5 months of healthy eating has lowered it... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic May 23, 2018 Share May 23, 2018 Yeah probably because of lack of exercise dropped my stamina. I am fasting full day today following the muslim timing. WML! are u muslim? If not, then i don't recommend doing the fasting window during most of the waking hours. Main reason is that the circadian rhythm of most humans should fall into the waking hours. So at night, your insulin resistance is actually higher. Eating your large meals or even OMAD then would at least reduce the potential benefits of the fasting. For their religious purposes and due to the origin of the ramadan fasting window (weather in the middle east must have some role to play in the origins), then it's fine. It's probably the main reason why i think the Muslim ritual of fasting during ramadan doesn't actually improve diabetes control much. Simply cos it's done at the wrong time and u are loading the body up when it's meant to be asleep. Same reason as why heavy suppers are bad for u. Cos most people's cells have their own circardian rhythms as evidence has now shown. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos most people's cells have their own circardian rhythms as evidence has now shown. Definitely agree with you on this! The best approach for me has been the one I've been able to consistently sustain over the past year, which is a Leangains 16-hour fast & 8-hour feeding window. It took a while to experiment with different methods and due to my work schedule, it has been the one to benefit me the most. I usually wake up, workout, and then have a late breakfast at about 11 am. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U really need to eat a lot of protein + fibre during that meal. for an average guy, at least 1800-2000 calories. Or else u are just starving yourself and it's not sustainable. I don't generally advise daily OMAD for someone who doesn't do his own meal prep. U can look through and see what @tianmo eats for his OMAD. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can look through and see what @tianmo eats for his OMAD. What is omad? Oh one meal a day. So far it has been ok for me. Not Super hungry and cravings per se. I try to cook as much as possible but not always possible. So when I eat out I try to Low carb. Exercise wise can’t really run now. I target 100 sit up and push up every day.
