I'm starting this, combined with a daily intermittent fast today.
My current weight is 174. I'm pretty lean, with visible abs and some separation in my delts/quads. I'd estimate my bf% to be around 12-14%.
My plan is to do this for 12 days, then do a 2 day refeed followed by a few weeks of eating at maintenance.
I figure I'll start out at about 250g protein, allowing for more if I'm hungry. I fast from 12AM to 4PM so all of my cals will be consumed between 4PM and 12AM.
Here are my questions:
Can I season my meat? I normally rub the chicken I cook in some combination of spices (salt, peppers, cinnamon, etc.), is this OK?
Is it OK for me to drink unsweetened tea? I love tea and I find that the caffeine helps to both control my appetite and keep me alert when I'm not eating.
Overall, does this sound OK?
