I thought I'd share this. I'm not big on trendy stuff. I know what works and what doesn't work. I've tried just about everything to get big, to lose weight, to get stronger, etc. I've never done IF. There is enough evidence out there for me to give it a try. I've convinced 3 of my co-workers to do the same. If anyone is interested, this thread will chronicle a 4 week trial.
We are doing the 16-8 IF. Because we all like to drink, we are basically going from Sunday fast start to Friday fast end. This certainly isn't ideal but it is real world. We are all men, aged 34-46 with different fitness levels.
Everyone weighed in yesterday. Here are the starting numbers with commentary.
36 yr old new dad. 2 kids - new born less than 3 weeks old. One of the best athletes I've been around but now sedentary. 210
34 yr old. Pretty strong. Loves strong man work outs. Been doing HIiT cardio/strength for a year. My rival. 278.1
41 yr old. Former D2 defensive lineman. Traditional fitness workouts. Steady state cardio, some weights. High athletic potential (jealous of his natural ability). 314.
My lame azz. 46, fat. Untalented. Old. 278. Lucky to be able to tie my shoes.
We'll weigh in on Thursday and I'll post the numbers
