hy You Should Be Skipping Breakfast: The Secrets of Intermit

[Maximus]

My trainer advised me to switch from 6 small meals a day to eating larger meals and spacing them out around 6 hours between meals and eating larger meals in the evening. The guy is a big fan of the "Warrior Diet" and a great knowledge of optimizing hormones and overall health.

I had a good look into it and it was very interesting. To be honest it was pretty hard to start off with regarding the timings of the meals, but I have been doing this now for about 6 weeks and I feel awesome. I would suggest this eating strategy to anyone.

Great thread btw.

It does actually make you more alert, and can do a hell of a job thinning you out even if you don't restrict cals much. Haven't used it to build muscle, but I imagine it would actually work out fine. The old thing about only being able to digest 30g of protein at a time, I don't think it's true. By fasting til around 4-6 PM, your body will be able to utilise protein more efficiently. Some people might not like it as they can't eat a days worth of food in a 4 hour eating window, haha.

Anyway no idea if this diet is optimal for muscle gain, used it a long time ago.
