Besides the odd birthday or event where I’ve had to break my IF streak I’ve been doing it for a year. Longest streak was 6 months doing 20:4 🙏🏾

Got a recent check up and blood test and everything was good my parents have also been doing it but 18:6 and their health has also improved.

Wish people were more open to it. When you bring it up they think you have an eating disorder.

Damn im tryna get like that, i keep breaking it on weekends smh lol

But can I ask how you made sure to eat enough calories when you actually ate? I’m kinda struggling and I don’t wanna f*** up my metabolism, this last week I’ve had 600-800 calories per day doing OMAD.

I feel full after eating that amount of calories and drinking mad water, but I’m reading that it could f*** me up if I keep eating so little long term

I didn't mind being in a deficit since I was trying to lose weight and for a time it was good. Now I'm in the awkward phase of getting back into lifting but I'm not sure if I'm getting enough calories in since I can tell I've lost a lot of strength. But aesthetically I've gotten the lean but built look that I wanted. I never wanted the bodybuilder/powerlifter look.

If you're trying to bulk and you need more cals I honestly wouldn't know tbh. I always have a massive late breakfast around 11 and have my lunch straight after. Usually finish eating by 1 or 2 at the latest. Water fast after that. Given our goals might be different it's tough to advise you to do what I did. I guess I'm lucky I had already bulked lol (being a little overweight before changing my training)

MRI of my neck and follow up x-ray of my L2 vertebrae came back very good in my appointment yesterday.

Spine doc cleared me to ramp up my exercising with "start low and go slow" as my mantra. Gonna hop back in my yoga class i think. And I'm thinking about getting my old gym membership again. Much sooner than i thought I would. But will probably knock out another month of PT first.

Going to the gym could be how i ensure that i do my PT stuff tho. Sometimes i do get lazy at home regarding that.

Thinking of just dropping deadlifts and doing progressive overload for barbell rows instead. Is this fine or are deadlifts that crucial to building good body

It’s a myth that Deadlifts are for back they do more for your glutes as it’s a hip hinge movement, imo I wouldn’t make that swap

Left side of lower back still feels wonky after straining it two weeks ago little scared to deadlift again but still need compound movement for pull day

T bar! Or an upper back row (incline bench supported ) or a wide grip rear delt row on cable machine

These all shouldn’t stress the Lower back

Or pull ups even, if u not already doing em
