    Bump to follow, thanks for the topic. I am trying to recomp with the leangains protocol, have only been doing it for a few weeks so too early to tell. Sure beats eating at a deficit though.

    I'm now eating at a small surplus and gaining weight while keeping my body fat low. It's a slow, clean bulk in other words.
    OMG you look amazing!! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you very much. I very much prefer this to the skinny fat lady I was when I started. :flowerforyou:

    Wild, I do the leangains version of IF as well, and I really do think it helps. There's lots of good information out there about how much more HGH our bodies produce in a fasted state than in a constantly fed state. :smile:

    I agree, and the calorie cycling has worked great for me compared to eating around maintenance every day. I feel more satisfied and strength gains have increased since I started doing the cycling. I'm in no rush so I'm planning to do this for a year or so and see how it goes.
