Fasting Once a Week

My goal is to lose around 20lbs of body fat in the next 8 months. I’m currently doing weight training 6 times a week and cardio everyday. I’m eating slightly below maintenance, with an emphasis on protein. I was wondering if water fasting on my rest day would be at all beneficial, not necessarily at speeding up fast loss but at ‘resetting’ my system for the week ahead. I am 6’4.

    No. Fasting will accelerate your metabolic thermogenic adaptation. Either eat below maintenance or fast. It will do the opposite of resetting you

    I don't want to demoralize but you won't stick to it. Find a routine which is less intense imho

      This. I have a mate who constantly plans 13 workouts a week just like this. He misses one day 5 days in then loses all motivation and he's out for 2 weeks minimum. Plan for less anon, just say you'll go for an hour WALK every day, lift 3/4 times a week and run twice minimum. Then if you want to run more, just run more. The walking and deficit alone will help you burn those kgs.

    Intermittent fasting seems to work if you actually go hard for a little while. For instance, I've already lost 3-5 lbs already just restricting my eating times between 1pm-9pm each day and cutting out any sort of garbage or highly processed foods.

          I need to get my waistline <30 inches and 160lbs seems like a good baseline. I don’t intend to stay there for long I just need to get my waist sorted.

            Not that same guy, but why man? I'm 6'1 and when I was 170 I looked sick and felt like shit. I'm like 230 now so I could lose a few lbs for sure but at your height being like 160 is going to be a bad time.

    Just do 2-3 10 day fasts separated by 1 week of regular eating. Do light exercise on the fasting days, 1 hard training day when you begin your normal eating, and fully rest and recover before doing another 10 days. You won't lose muscle

    It can be good or bad. If you overeat the day after the fast, the fast can end up being harmful. If you can avoid that then sure, a zero calorie day would speed up fat loss.

    How does fasting once a week not just get offset on the other days when you'll be hungrier?
