Intermittent Fasting

[Cam0505]

Essentially, fasting is the greatest stimulator of GH release. GH also preserves muscle tissue and mobilizes free fatty acids from fat stores for energy. By fasting for a period of the 24hr day (which we all do anyway), you are able to lose more fat while preserving muscle mass, in theory.

That's the basic, basic run down but there are a whole host of other hormonal and metabolic changes going on, most of which are outlined on the leangains.com blog.

IMHO, probably one of the best tools for natural Body builders, or anyone for that matter, looking to cut and depending on the individual, can also help enhanced athletes. As for maximizing hypertrophy, maybe not optimal, but there is little evidence with regard to this matter, its equivocal at best.

Thanks Riccardo, you out did yourself yet again.
