Intermittent Fasting

[juggernaut]

If you are fasting why are you worrying about pre and post workout nutrition? There is none - you are fasting.

I'm still training, am I not? Or should I do this on days where I dont train? Even if I only do a HIIT session and/or depletion style workouts?

You can train during the fast. I find it hard to do heavy strength work during fasting, so I don't perform fasting on those days. I will do higher rep work, circuit training or my tempo work on fasting days though.

how about Javorek Complexes on the days during the fast?

Also, since I am eyeballing the timeframe of 8pm to 11am the next day as a 15 hour fast, does it matter if I have my cottage cheese and fats at 8pm or should I just have my typical 6pm dinner? Should I workout near the end of the fast with a basic depletion style workout and then start the feeding process again, post workout?
I'm probably over-thinking this.

yes very much over thinking if you are going by eat stop eat.

 

[juggernaut]

got it.

 

[P-funk]

you are really over thinking it!!!

Here it is in simple form:

1) Eat
2) Stop eating and don't eat
3) Do some sort of work during the period of not eating
4) Start eating again when the period of not eating is over
