9th hour of a 20 hour fast
So far it looks like this OMAD (One Meal A Day) is working for me. Yesterday, I declared my 'eating window' to be from 6:00pm-8:00pm. This was easy to do as I am used to fasting Monday through Friday. During the day, I drank "Quest Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder" with Splenda in hot water all day long. This is very filling, and only has 3 carbs for the entire day.
Today is a 'weight lifting day'. My experiment today will be to 'carb up', lift weights, and then go to bed. The reason I hope this wont cause an 'out of control carb eating binge' is that I plan to stay inside an 'eating window' of 5:00pm-8:00pm.
The reason I am even trying this is because my main goal right now is body building. To do this I need to gain weight. So, I am trying to eat carbs on my weight lifting days.
When I get up to 180 I plan to go back to my 5 days fasting schedule and 'cut' back down to 170. This is the weight I feel 'healthy' at. Right now I feel I look 'underweight' and have a 'skinny body' like 'little boy'. This is NOT a good look on a 49 year old man :)
