I said this before and I don't think you wanted to listen at the time, but fasting itself is just a mechanism to allow your busy to consume less food. It's main benefit is that it's an easy lifestyle change to adopt and keep "post diet". I don't mean this to come off as a "I told you so", merely some insight.I've actually temporarily stopped fasting as I was not seeing any results over the prior 2 months from it, or very minimal.
What I am learning is that fasting is a great tool to use to get you to a certain point quickly but then I think it becomes diminishing returns.
At the end of the day, you need to consume less calories than you burn; fasting is just an effective tool to allow that.
My coach has me doing a quasi-carb cycle where I still eat the same amount of food day to day (same macros too), but I time my carbs for pre/intra workout only.
This is the most dialed in my diet has ever been, and I'm seeing a steady/sustainable weight loss of about 1lb/wk. I'm also nearing single digits on BF% so that complicates things.
Still, I like this method a lot.
Current macros:
P: 300
F: 50-60
C: 125
