For me I take a break, i mean if I cut down carbs(>=100g per day) then I'll take a break to about 2 days then going back again to usual low carb. If i do HIIT for few days, i take break. Or if I get my protein from fish sometimes i get them through red meat, etc. etc. etc. I keep on changing both eat nutrition and workout. however i always make sure that the my protein is within range.
now I haven't mention anything about lep... neu...thy... or any of those... yes i do sometimes gain weight but always end up few pounds lighter from the previous 2 weeks that i weigh in. Also, i only target to lose about 0.5lb per week...

Thank suziecue66, it the right dosage :-D
I totally agree with wacky, diet methods, IF for us here is able to go against any biaised pretext that you would put on genetics.
We know the body adapts to the activity - the more you train, the more you need to eat, the more you lose. No need to go futher than that.
An interesting study showed how it was possible to update somes genes expression when it comes to intermittent fasting an fat desposition/ storage.
What does that mean ? well simply that contrary to other diets methods, if we consider it more like a lifestyle (I do actually) you also will be able to see gains on the long term. Even if it's about optimising our fitness, no need to tell that being healthy, free from any modern diseases is a bonus.Our study demonstrates that the transcription of the Fsp27 gene in adipose tissue may be induced in response to nutritional stimuli. Furthermore, PPARγ2, C/EBPα, and insulin may be involved in the nutritional regulation of FSP27. Thus intermittent fasting, despite lower caloric intake, may promote triacylglycerol deposition in WAT by increasing the expression of genes involved in lipid storage, such as Fsp27.

If we go back a little, when we talked about the cycling, what happens through time if you keep making your cycling difference bigger from training days and rest days, for instance : +50/ -50%, how the metabolism adapts ?
@hedgiie sure about what ?0 -

@hedgiie sure about what ?
making sure that protein is within range, sugar is minimized or nothing if i could. carbs is cycled between medium to low.0 -

Did we ever get the final answer??0

There is no specific answer, if you are looking for the perfect one. We just saw through different things how to make your body's development optimum. I started to work on several protocols, almost done, that present a program to follow for serveral body types. But if you read everything, you already have all the answers for you
@ hedgiie : I wanted to review your diary, but it's locked.
What are your macros numbers ?0 -
This is the most intellectually thought out thread I have ever read on MFP. Bravo everyone!0

Thank you TXHunny84
The protocols are almost done, but I'm kinda lazy lately hehe0 -
