In this post, I explain why your best bet is to do intermittent fasting daily.
Now, there are numerous approaches to intermittent fasting. Some of the popular approaches involve doing longer 24-hour fasts, one to two times per week.
My issue with this is that fasting for a full 24 hours is not very enjoyable. You’re going to have to battle hunger and that’s no fun. What’s more, fasting 1-2x per week doesn’t teach you how to handle your nutrition on your non-fasting days.
In the past, when I did the 1-2 “longer format” fasts each week, I would end up overeating on my other days and consequently, I struggled to lean down.
Eating in the Morning Can Trigger Hunger
As well, a huge benefit of fasting daily is that for many people, eating first thing in the morning can trigger hunger. This is because cortisol levels are highest in the morning! Eating with high cortisol will cause a rapid drop in blood sugar, triggering a subsequent increase in hunger.
Intermittent fasting just makes staying lean so enjoyable!
Now, even if your goal is to build muscle, daily fasts make staying lean on a bulk super easy. This is because you’re optimizing anabolic and catabolic activity. As well, daily fats are awesome for boosting mental clarity and productivity.
Daily Fasts Are the Way to Go
If you really want to get lean with ease, you need to learn how to consistently eat at a calorie deficit with absolute ease. This means doing daily fasts.
Now there’s no need to fast 24 hours… My recommendation is to push your first meal 5-8 hours after rising. This will deliver all the benefits of intermittent fasting while giving you the flexibility to allow nutrition to fall into the background of your life.
By pushing your first meal 5-8 hours after rising, you experience great fat mobilization and you give yourself a ton of room to eat plenty of food later in the day.
Fasting Daily is Easier than Fasting a Few Times Per Week
Another reason why you should fast daily is because your hunger hormones will adapt to it. And after a few weeks, you won’t experience any hunger during the fast.
If you only fast a few times per week, you’ll never give your body a chance to fully acclimate to fasting during the day. Now, if you’re ready to experience incredible results, you need to jump on one of my programs.
I recommend taking the Kinobody Physique Survey to find the best program for you! Plus there’s an awesome gift at the end :)
A Recent Kinobody Transformation
F’ing awesome email came in today! In 12 weeks, Jeff dropped 27 lbs – while putting on serious muscle… He’s done the “bodybuilding” thing in the past and has never made such crazy results in his life.
He was skeptical eating two big meals per day, not going crazy on protein, taking zero supplements and working out just 3 days per week. But he committed to the program for 12 weeks and he’s absolutely blown away. Great work manggggg!
Here’s what he had to say:
“Greg,
I just wanted to say that I have tried everything to build a good physique, but I have always taken a bodybuilding approach. And then after trying everything I took off working out for a while feeling hopeless.
One day I came across your program and tbh I didn’t think it would work because I have always believed that you needed to take a lot of supplements, eat like 6-7 and workout 5-6 days a week.
So after telling myself I have nothing to lose, I decided to give it a try for 3 months. No program has ever worked so good for me! My before and after picture is up top and I feel that in 3 months I have never gotten such good results with any other program out there.
My pictures are posted above and they are 3 months apart, I went from 248lbs. to 221 lbs. while building muscle! And I did exactly what you said to do , I took no supplements, 2 Big meals a day and trained 3 times a week. You are awesome and your program is too.
