    OP the thing to look at is if you have a large amount of fat to lose and you want to look great at the end of your road, don't bastardize someones program.
    If you are following Lean Gains (you aren't BTW) you'll lose the fat and gain lean mass.

    You already do both of the insulin resistance breakers.
    You lift heavy and you fast.
    Going low carb will probably hinder your progression TBH.
    Eat high carbs on lift days.
    Eat low carb on rest days.
    PR ever time you lift till you cant then deload.

    Low carb high fat all the time will probably backfire on you.

    The thing is- I eat at a calorie deficit when I IF. I don't pig out. I have a 1300-1600 calorie meal and THATS It, so it is also a VLCD. I doubt the weight is water weight because I almost went down a waist size and losses are becoming noticeable. I didn't mean to start an argument, but I'm just saying what I do that works

    When you lose water weight you also get smaller, mainly in the waist area as that is where a lot of it is stored.

    Yeah I think its doable, but I'd worry a lot about droopy loose skin when you are finished

    I wish people won't be so worried about things loose skin...being healthy is much more important.

    +2 I would take some saggy skin and stretch marks over being almost 300 pounds instantly.

    My body has reacted better to the smaller meals throughout the day compared to 3 squared or large gaps in between.

    So has mine, but I find that a psychological (easier for me to control my diet and appetite) rather than a physical (I don't feel overall more energetic on an average day) effect.

    As far as meal timing goes, things that work for some do not work for others. My wife goes nuts at the fact that I have a snack at 8-9PM pretty consistently. She's convinced that anything eaten after some arbitrary point in the evening will immediately turn into fat that cannot be burned off. There's a lot of pseudoscience out there about meal timing, but the simple fact is that we're all special little snowflakes and any meal timing appears to be more psychological than physiological for most people.

    When you find a meal timing that works for you, it works for you. And that's great. But the key is to be openminded and experiment with various things until you find what works for you.

    Thanks for your help everyone. The thing about this method being sustainable is this- I do not feel restricted at all, and I believe o have found the protocol that works best for me. I plan on eating low Carb the rest of my life, and I always plan to eat at a calorie deficit, so the assumption that I will "gain weight back" is alleviated a bit- although stopping intermittent fasting could be a concern (but VLCD should counterbalance this). I thank you all for your advice!
