Intermittent Fasting Week 2 - Better and longer workouts

PcShed

Hi, i started my second week on IF at 18.5 hoursfast - 5.5 hours eating window but I have noticed I been having great pumps at my workout of heavy weight training. I been training at 3.30pm until 4.30pm and has been great. Through the day no hunger pains or energy dips. I found out I am quite tolerant to low carbs (first week 30-50g per day - Week 2 10-20g per day)
I now supplemented my nutrition with some green tea extracts and berry ketones. Also added sesame seeds, pumkins seeds and mixed seeds for good fats. This is the best I felt in a long time. All day, felt energised, focus, alert and determined on the task at hand. My legs and upper body are tight and feel pumped all day.

I have been eating 3 times a day at 4.30pm, 6.30pm and 8.30pm.

Because I been having better workouts and lasting longer, I now finish my workouts at 4.45pm, I eat my first meal at 5.00pm and my first meal intake now is almost half of my day calorie intake,so I have decided to do 20 hour fast with 4 hour eating window.

I have will amend my pre made meals to cater the calorie split. I also decided to take full body measurement this week and now also record Weight, Fat, BMI and Lean Mass levels once in the morning and at night every day so I can see progress on daily basis and tweak nutrition accordingly.

I am also going to sacrifice a weight training session (been training 5 days heavy on 2 days off with so cardio at end of each workout) for a full on cardio session. On this day I will fast for 22 hours with 2 hour eating without. I want to see if raised hormones levels after cardio will continue to burn body fat before 1st meal of the day.

IF is brilliant and I am getting more lean mass and body fat is steady lowering. I am quite happy to gain weight (lean mass) as I was planning to go down to 107kgs (currently 111kgs) during this training and fasting for 8 weeks.

Next comparison with first week will be on Sunday 19th May with photos and video dairy as norm. Check my blog to see progress

Lets me know your thoughts, ideas and advice.

Thanx
