> Out of curiosity and personal interest. How do you eat? You do IF, but do you do 24 hour fasts? Do you avoid sugar?
I believe this was addressed to me?
6 hour eating windows per day where I eat upwards of 3000+ calories if I'm doing a normal no so extraneous project (tech) with just 3 day gym work outs--1 heavy day between 2 normal light workouts.
If I'm doing manual labour (farming, kitchen, mechanical stuff etc...) which I recommend everyone to do, I'll open it up to two 3 hour windows, between 1pm-4pm, and then 1am-4am. I found this is gives me the most benefit IF i have to eat more calories. If I need to travel while I'm doing any of that I'll go to ketosis and just introduce lots of animals fats and shift to no carbs, I usually don't stay in that state for more than a week, it's too boring and I get tired of eating things like avocados, bacon, eggs and salads really quick now.
Usually when I work manual labour I suffer from a sort of fatigue if I eat in the morning so I've worked around that--I hated waking up in the morning and being forced to eat as a kid so I came to loathe breakfast. So, I'll break my eating windows to 2 ~2500 calorie windows.
But to be honest I've been known to do 4000+ calories in the height of the growing seasons in Spring/Summer/Fall (in my 20s) where I could eat a dozen eggs (raw or cooked) alongside a full size meal with heavy carbs followed by an hour nap. This kept me going until 1am which is when I'd have time to eat again and have a shower and have personal time.
Also, I'm not a heavy guy my normal walking weight is 155 lbs with ~10% body fat, but I have a very fast metabolism so it's like having a turbo V10; sure you can coast it and try to get within a decent MPG, but when it's doing what it was designed to do I can literately feel the heat dissipation from my head from the calories that I'm burning in real time--I was the guy with the steamy head under a hat when it was below zero outside in Germany or Switzerland.
In short I have a harder time not being calorie deficient if I have to put my body to work so I'm unique in that respect even now that I'm over 30. I'm actually only realizing what a gift this is now since I always wanted to be pack on more weight when I was younger.
