- looking alpha eating huge high calorie meal and still losing weight.

- fat women and anorexic shrews look on with jealousy as you eat a large meat lovers pizza on your own while being below 10% body fat.

- fat literally melts off while strength is soaring and muscles feeling full and solid.

- getting ripped is the easiest thing in the world.

- the people who advocated small meals every 3 hours of the day should be shot in the face for spreading that ridiculous bro science.

You basically want to have a 16 hour fasting period and a 8 hour feeding period. So, if you can't work out at lunch, and want to work out in the morning, then you basically have to skip dinner because your feeding period will follow your workout. In the alternative, you can just start your feeding period around lunchtime and have some BCAAs immediately after your workout and a couple of hours after your workout, which should be enough to prevent catabolism. That's not optimal though because really, supplementing with BCAAs isn't completely fasted per se.

If you want to work out in the evening, you can start your feeding period before the workout. In the alternative, you can simply just shorten your feeding period and stuff your face with 2500-3000 calories worth of food after a workout.

Eat your first meal at around 1-2pm. This meal should be about 25% of your total calories for the day. Eat again around 4-5pm, again getting around 25% of total calories. Sometimes I'll eat another meal around this time but usually I just have a protein bar and some snacks. Work out around 6-7pm. After you work out you can eat the remaining 50% of your calories over the last 3 or 4 hours of the day.

ESE is a little different because he recommends a fasting period of at least 24 hours and the fast should be a 1-2x/week thing. I'm not a huge fan of it but Brad Pilon is much less of a douchebag than Martin Berkhan so there's that.

A lot of Lyle McDonald's nutritional stuff is really good and worth reading. Specifically, a month of his Rapid Fat Loss program followed by a month of Ultimate Diet 2.0 is always good to get me from my 18% BF bulk mode to my 10% BF alpha mode. Gonna be hitting that up after the bar since I'm pushing 19% at this point after 4 months of bulking.

yup. its second nature now dont even think about it. breakfast always slowed me down and made me tired anyways so it wasnt much to give up. Plus, I can be less diligent on lifting since I maintain a low calorie count. Typically I'll stop eating at 8pm and start again at noon.

The biggest trick for gains though is to lift heavy as fuck. Martin's right on this. bench, deads, squats, press, chins, rinse repeat.

I just try to have a couple days a week where I eat only chicken, almonds, pb sandwich, etc.. to balance the junk food out.

By doing this I've stayed in pretty solid shape despite law, wife, kids.

Agreed. I was skeptical of my own self-discipline but it's really remarkable.

I realize now most mornings I would eat because I was buying the "breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" flame. I'm not particularly hungry in the mornings. Eating a little bit would just beget eating a lot more.

Instead, some coffee and I'm good to go until early afternoon.

Do you restrict carbs at all? That's what really creates hunger slavery. The carbs, I mean. Without carbs, your hunger never gets all that bad.

I have dramatically reduced carb consumption (and refined sugars) but not eliminated outright.

I do understand why carbs create hunger slavery. They don't satiate at all -- 30 min after a carb heavy meal, I would be hungry again. Need dat protein to really shut down the "need to keep eating" impulse.

All true, but fat shuts down the eating impulse even better. I eat moderate proteins and the only carbs I eat are vegetables. Carbs are the only macronutrient that we don't need to consume in our diet. The liver changes amino acids into glucose for our muscles and brains.

I did recently learn that about fats -- an intermittent fasting blog recommended consuming a very small all-fat "snack" to satiate and kickstart ketosis (e.g., one to two tablespoons of coconut oil or heavy cream in your coffee). I haven't felt hungry enough to try that as of yet. Very interesting.

I'd like to get to a point where I very rarely consume carbs but dem <><><>CARBCHAINS<><><> are strong.

i've done this for four years now. after a month or so it becomes second nature. Not eating helps focus and avoids the afternoon lul. Currently, I eat first meal at 3ish and stop around 10pm. I only workout 3 days a wk. I just lift heavy those days: bench, deads, pullups, press, squats. Its def 180 as I refuse to live life without pizza and beer.
