But that's beside the point. It's very easy to follow the typical American junk diet, too. But is it allowing you to maximize your performance? It's not about what's easy, it's about what works best.
Seriously dude, get off of Berardi's and Ripptoes nuts.
Seriously for loads of information I recommend performance menu or Robb Wolf's or mike Odonell's blog. Great work on it in my opinion.
If severly restricted from proteins for a short period of time, would the body supercompensate the lack by maintaining muscle and building more when alot of protein is introduced again in the diet. After all muscle is vital for survival, and body doesnt want to waste anything... Just thinking...
That's a lot of talk for someone that hasn't tried it or talked to the leading biochemist who pushed it. Do you refuse to read what I wrote? Myself, Robb, Mike, Aimee, Anna, and many others have seen IMPROVED performance. Seriously dude, get off of Berardi's and Ripptoes nuts.
Thank you for the reply. Do you still take a protein shake before, or after with simple carbs, or do you not follow that either?
Relax, I'm not challenging whether or not the diet improves performance, I'm questioning his premise for liking the diet. A diet is not good because it is easy.

Does anyone have any experience in gaining weight during IF? Or is that not the point? Or is it just a matter of eating a shit-ton during the eating window?
What about a before-bed casein shake? No?
