You work out at 7:30 and don't break fast until 3:00. That's a long time.
Who puts butter in their coffee? lol But good info though.. Ketosis and intermittent has worked for me. I went from 260 to 220 and my bench, dead lifts, lat pull downs, etc all went went up tremendously.
X Gain so what do you take to give you energy in the gym… I'm guessing you don't take preworkouts?
I have black coffee with Cinnamon in it when I wake up although that has 2 grams of carbs in, what's your thoughts on this?
5:12 BCAAs don't contain proteins. Proteins are made up of amino acids.
5:37 BCAAs are essential amino acids.
artificial sweetners in BCAAs will pop your insulin up
There are so many amazing things to nutritional ketosis. I have seen fantastic results! Here to assist if anyone needs it!
This is why Muslims Fast <3
Please read and thank you <3
Fasting and Ramadhan
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ‡
أَيَّامًا مَعْدُودَاتٍ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ فَمَنْ تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَأَنْ تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ‡
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآَنُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ‡
O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so
that you may guard (against evil).
(Fasting is) for a fixed number of days; and if any of you is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed
number (Should be made up) from days later, and for those (who miss the fast for illness or travel) who are able to do it, is a ransom of
feeding one that is indigent. But he that will give more, of his own free will, it is better for him.
And it is better for you that you fast, if you only knew.
The month of Ramadhan in which was revealed the Qur'an, guidance for mankind, and clear
proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present,
let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same)
number of other days. Allah desires ease for you; He does not desire hardship for you; and (He
desires) that you should complete the period, and that you should magnify Allah for having guided
you, and that peradventure you may be thankful.
Qur'an (2:183-185)
General
Fasting was prescribed for us to gain God consciousness.
Fast the month of ramadhan, you know its beginning and end by the moon phase where you are (e.g., see 2:189 and 6:96).
Fasting is for the 30 days of the month of ramadhan, these are the fixed days.

BCAA's will take you out of a fasted state. Dr Jim Stoppani of bodybuilding.com shows a study done that says lucine puts the brain in a fed state. Look it up for yourself. I would suggest not taking any BCAA's while fasting.
3:49 Uh BCAA's dont have any flavor. That is just the nasty artificial sweeteners these companies put in there.
You deserve way more views/subscribers than this. Thanks for your advice x
BCAAs converted to directly to energy is impossible without antimatter. You mean to say BCAAs can enter the Krebs cycle.
I've heard that fats are the one macro that actually won't kick you out of a fasted state, regardless of calories consumed. What are your thoughts on this?
I've been doing fasting for two weeks now. (20hr fast 4hr feast) thanks to the job I have it actually fits my schedule pretty good, and your the first person I've found that actually breaks down proper diet options while doing intermittent fasting instead of only giving the diet they use.
I'm so bad at controlling my eating, I bought food prep trays for lunch and dinner (no carbs, I have a corned beef/chicken/cheese roll or 2 slices bacon 2 eggs and some mushroomsfor breakfast ), and I try to eat my dinner at like 8pm but my god im still hungry when I go to bed!!
It's really weird because I thought I would fill fuller for longer but cutting carbs, is it something that kicks in or is my body just a bit of a weird one xD
So interesting seeing you compare them all
