If you've been "permacutting" in terms of a chronic caloric deficit, there will be a down regulation in hormones (mainly leptin) to conserve as much energy as possible. Consider it as a survivability mechanism from pushing 12 hours/week of intentional intense activity. Which is also likely that 2800kcal expenditure that…

If it's per the RFL protocol, it's completely soul-sucking. I think that's forgiveable. Lol. May as well also throw in Michael Zourdos to complete the MASS trinity with Eric Helms and Greg Nuckols. I think some other credible individuals would be: Dr. Jose Antonio - head of the ISSN Alex Leaf - Examine.com Aadam Ali -…

"Any given reader of this book will have their own pattern (or patterns) and, within the context of this book (and perhaps moreso Volume 2), women or their coaches will have to be their own best scientist." That is completely within reason to state for any person. Textbooks worth at least 3x the price point are going to…

I have nothing else to add to @heybales response but I did find this article as well https://sci-hub.tw/10.1038/ijo.2014.199

As soon as you purchase the pdf version and you’ve created an account, you can go to the download area and download immediately :)

In case anyone had trouble with downloads or purchases https://instagram.com/p/BedscFHAGYr/

Anyone with problems, Lyle has a message https://instagram.com/p/BedscFHAGYr/

I'd just download both while waiting for Lyle to respond lol. I downloaded and started reading but work is ruining the experience for me haha.

I'm sure you're not. So far everyone's just complaining that they can't download their pdf versions for the same site flooding problem.

Yeah he doesn't have a problem with refunding. He should get that sorted for you.

It’s expensive because it’s long af lol. Plus he’s donating $5 to a foundation for women so there’s that. But I got the signed + pdf version. Just because I like 2 copies of stuff haha

Lyle's breaking the internet. Apparently his announcement sent the site into errors for some people lol. Good luck. There are signed and regular versions.

For the love of everything unholy, don't listen to Steph Person. She has absolutely no substantial knowledge about actual substrate metabolism. The first phase of the Atkins is completely keto.

This is a poignant point to make. Fat makes things tasty which provides satisfaction from a subjective and psychological standpoint. Satiety is different in the fact that one is physiologically no longer hungry for a period of time, but that satiety can come from seafood, pork, eggs, endive, spinach, kale, berries,…

Ketosis increases lipolysis (stored fat release from fat cells) but that doesn't mean increased fat burning. If you stored gasoline in drums and suddenly spilled them all out onto the floor, you'll be swimming in it, but nothing happens with that gasoline until you light a match. That's the same process with ketosis. You…

I get free hugs for announcing his release? I'll have to tag him in something completely ridiculous as thanks :tongue:

Gender, age, height, body weight, bf%, metabolic health, activity level and experience, goals, etc. are all part of the multivariate factors that determine someone's energy needs. Leaner individuals are at a greater risk of lbm loss for the fact that they have less substrate stores to make up the difference in a deficit,…

I think the women's book becomes available in the next couple of hours for anyone who was waiting on it.

Martin Berkhan's demographic is primarily male, yes, but his approach is universal. I'm not sure what your goal is for IF, but if it's primarily for fat loss then Martin's approach is sufficient enough to follow. If you are wanting to practice fasting for any other reason, then perhaps Fung -might- pose some benefit, but…

I actually wouldn't look to Fung for advice. He talks a good game and makes fasting sound compelling, but he's widely known for straw-manning arguments and science. He makes outrageous claims that muscle can be built on eating no nutrients at all or that calories are only a working theory and impractical for the purposes…

"May" and "might" is permissive by virtue of grammar to allow for variance and possibility, so while it may/might be responsible, it also might not be applicable to all people. You're entitled to believe what applies to you, and if it works, then great. The overarching point I was attempting to make was that for fat loss…

It goes back even further than that to the Banting diet, which was designed to remove refined and rich food. But just because it carries historical significance doesn't mean it can't become a fad. The very act of eating has been paramount in evolution and it's been turned into a fad by manipulating agriculture and flavors…

Yes, you do what works for you to meet your goal. I think there may be a miscommunication, but I wasn't directly responding to you per se, as I tend to generalize statements for everyone else who may have questions as to why IF works. But you've also supported my sentiment that it would be physically impossible for you to…

A low enough calorie deficit will induce ketosis regardless of the macronutrient composition. Though, in terms of sparing as much lbm as possible, adequate protein is going to be necessary in a severe caloric restriction. And I believe I've exhausted most reasons for why protein is beneficial in a catabolic state, though…

Which is precisely how IF works in creating a calorie deficit.

Nope. It wouldn't. Interruption of a non-caloric intake period with the consumption of calories breaks a fast, so the weird misconception that doing a "fat fast" (chock full of calories) as to not stimulate insulin has always been a concept I've never been able to comprehend. Since this was a reminder on ketogains, I may…

Some people off the top of my head who would be excellent to listen to/watch: Lyle McDonald Alan Aragon Eric Helms Sohee Lee Danny Lennon Wolf Performance Omar Isuf

I forget which form of social media I get tagged in sometimes lol. It's highly possible I've engaged the same people on mfp/fb/instagram/twitter without knowing. And to your statement, yes, the absolute cause for mortality is birth. Haha. Controllable risk factors just enhance or worsen the journey, but from a…

Old man Logan.. er, Lyle, is far from FOS. After studying 20+ years of evidence based articles and coming across every imaginable form of fitness/nutrition related science, it's only a matter of time that you develop a finite tolerance, so he's not going to coddle feelings, but he's not outwardly going to attack someone…
