I've personally found that when it comes to maintaining health and hormonal status for the female clients I train (and many of the
very lean guys), a complete 24 hour fast done once or twice per month is far more effective than daily 12 - 16 hour intermittent fasting (which seems to be all the rage these days).
Picture your perfect date: is he a tall,
lean guy with a beautiful smile?
@AAFC &
me lean You guys need to stop with the doom and gloom.
I wasn't
the leanest guy around but wasn't trying to be (was interested in power lifting)..
I'm certainly NOT
the leanest guy in the world.
If you're
a lean guy at about 8 % body fat or a girl at about 12 % — 15 % body fat, you might need to do a refeed every 3 — 7 days, or sometimes even more often than that.
Although I'm
a lean guy, I have approximately 90,000 stored calories available for energy to burn.
