Hi Diesel, well I believe that one can do tons of reading and research but in the end it really does come down to results. I have been reading and applying for close to 40 years now so of course I have taken many, many roads that have led to nowhere.
I would say this, that working out in the morning is best when testosterone levels are highest. Eating or drinking nutrition just after working out blunts growth hormone levels which would be the opposite of what I’m trying to do which would be to achieve an extremely low level of bodyfat where I want growth hormone highest. Of course supplement manufacturers will tell you something different, I mean really that’s their job. Your body has plenty of fuel available and hopefully you are using bodyfat to help you recover and not some sugar drink or powdered protein. It is almost impossible to burn bodyfat after a workout if you are raising insulin levels.
If you eat to late in the day meaning right before bed then you risk screwing up the leptin cycle and developing leptin resistance which will leave you feeling hungry and looking fatter. So this does leave a small window of time during the daytime hours when you probably should be eating. Does this make logical sense…………….probably just not to the supplement sellers.
The problem with reading and recommending material is that sometimes I might just agree with a few points in a book which for me makes it worth reading but that doesn’t mean I agree with the whole book. As far as fasting in the morning I like some of Ori Hofmekler work “The Warrior Diet” and “Unlock Your Muscle Gene” and for some information on leptin I like “Mastering Leptin” Byron Richards
