OP is right. always pissing in intermittent spurts, never all at once. Unfortunately this knowledge got lost.

2. You probably put yourself in a catabolic state where you have the opposite effect. Your body was put in starvation mode because you are fasting and is storing fat to eat away at since you aren’t feeding it aminos/protein

You've never fasted before have you?

If you did you would know fasting doesn't cause your body to go into starvation mode if you have sufficient body fat already on you. What fasting does is force ketosis which causes the body to feed on its already stored reserves of body fat.

Our species evolved with fasting being a part of their lives. Eating everyday is a very new development for our species. Thus our bodies have developed to operate at their optimal level when it only gets food once every couple of days.

I have a feeling you'd only believe evidence from the white man

I’d believe credible evidence from anyone but I haven’t seen it yet.

If you or he have credible evidence of him gaining six pounds of lean muscle mass in two weeks please feel free to present it.

If you or he have credible evidence of him gaining six pounds of lean muscle mass in two weeks while on a caloric deficit then please feel free to present it.

I look forward to seeing this information.

Water weight.

Can fluctuate ~10lbs between weeks if you wanted.

I typically do a 48 hour dry fast before weighing myself. That means no water or food for 2 days. So no its not excees water that is showing up on the scale.

Why would it need to feed on stored reserves if it’s not in starvation mode?

I don’t know what’s funnier, op or people thinking he’s doing any other thing besides trolling

Wonderful things happen when you live a fasting focused lifestyle. Fasting for 72+ hours boosts growth hormone and stem cell production massively. That could be whats helping me make these remarkable gains.

Its crazy how much more efficient my body is now. What I say next might be a bit graphic but bear with me cause it illustrates my point. One major change I've noticed lately since I started fasting is that I don't shyt anymore. Even after I eat my huge meals on the refeed days I don't have to use the restroom for several days. Its like my body has realized I only feed it every 72 hours so its no longer just discarding food after I eat. Its holding onto the food for as long as it can and taking every single nutrient out. I only lay 1 or 2 small turds in the toilet now once a week. Its freaking weird cause I use to shyt once a day in the past and they were huge loads.

this is not going to end well.

Only 2 ways to gain muscle on a deficit

1. you just started lifting for the first time in your life, or haven’t lifted in years.

2. Roids

I typically dry fast (aka no food or water) for 48 hours before weighing myself so your point is mute.

So I've been on a strict fasting regime the last couple of months. I eat only 1 meal every 3 days. That means continous 72 hour fasts. In the first 30 days of this diet I lost around 30 lbs of fat. However, over the last couple of weeks something weird happened.

About two weeks ago I weighed myself and I was at 154 lbs (which is the leanest I've ever been in my life). I continued my training in the gym and kept on fasting for 48-72 hours thinking I would keep losing fat. However, when I weighed myself yesterday the scale read 160 lbs. This blew my mind. I looked in the mirror to see if I've gained any fat around my belly. I didn't see anything. I actually looked leaner than I did at 154 lbs. What did look bigger were my forearms. My shoulders were thicker and more defined. And my triceps and gotten more muscular. I had somehow gained 6 lbs of muscle in two weeks while in a severe caloric deficit because of my fasting focused lifestyle.

So there you have it. Stop listening to these steroid using bodybuilders who say you gotta be in a caloric surplus to build muscle. I'm living proof that you can build muscle while fasting and being in a huge caloric deficit.

FOH WITH THESE GOOFY
ASS DUCKTALES.

I SHOULD GET YOU BANNED
JUST FOR SPREADING THIS NONSENSE.
