I am yet again checking in from the Forest of Enlightenment, and today I thought to respond to a question that came up.
Last time I talked about fasting and intermittent fasting, and since it's autumn, Helios has blessed Sweden with some good old summer here in late August.
So, shout out to you, Helios, my man.
But anyway, autumn is incoming, and a lot of guys will start bulking.
So, I thought to bestow some bulking wisdom upon you all.
Now, first and foremost, should you do intermittent fasting when you are bulking?
If you are a bit skinnier, if you're a bit younger, you want to bulk up, put on some size, then no, I would not recommend doing intermittent fasting because you want to space out your meals so that you can eat more.
The traditional bodybuilding style of eating, like six meals a day or so, it's a bit unnecessary in my view.
And also, some wisdom when it comes to listening to pro-bodybuilders, they are taking vast amounts of steroids.
So, if you listen to their advice and do like they do, sure, you can do it if you take the same sort of dark side supplements, so to speak.
But I recommend that you do not.
But, anyway, that being said, I do recommend that you eat breakfast if you are a so-called hard gainer or if you're bulking, etc.
Because you do at the end of the day want to hit a certain amount of calories.
For certain guys, it is hard to get to that level, so you're not doing yourself any favors by eating less, simply put.
And of course, in the reversal, if you're trying to lose weight, it's absolutely unnecessary to eat breakfast in my view because most people aren't hungry in the morning anyway.
So, yeah, intermittent fasting, it's not something I would recommend if you are training to get more massive, or if you are at perhaps an elite level and you train several times a day.
And if you train in the morning, it might be good to load up with some extra carbohydrates.
And again, as I've said before, the more you train, the more carbohydrates you should have in your diet.
The less you train, the less carbohydrates in your diet.
So, anyway, I still would though recommend that if you're a bulk bra, if you have been bulking for half a year or something, it can be a good idea for you to do a 24-hour fast for your mind.
So, not so much for your body, but for your mind, which in turn, as I always say, is connected to the body.
So, mind and body are one.
But anyway, you can do it every once in a while, and then it can be good for you to get your appetite up again.
Because if you have been bulking for half a year, chances are quite high that you don't really want to eat so much.
So, it can be a good idea.
So, basically, to conclude, for bulk bras, not intermittent fasting, but if you are bulking, you can do a 24-hour fast to reap the health benefits for the mind, so to speak.
