I feel the cut getting to me now. Btw I've been doing my workouts mostly fasted save some water + electrolytes. So that means I'll do about a ~36hr fast and then lift at around 7-9am. I think I may have to change this and having a pre-workout meal to continue gaining strength on my cut. Maybe delay my first meal until about 6pm, then workout at 8pm and have a 2nd meal after that and that's it.

Bought dr berg's electrolyte powder. figure its something good to drink on the 0 calorie days

Snake diet? Is that the fasting one with the snake juice? If so would love to hear more on your experience with it.

Personally I just eat about 2,500-3,500cal on lifting days depending on how many calories I burned, and then 0-100 calories on the in between days. No crazy shakes or snake juice thing on fasting days. I kept it simple. Check out my progress at Reply #1372 on: December 23, 2019, 01:19:59 pm on page 92 of this journal:

In about 1 month I achieved:
- Cut 12-13 lbs (started at 201.8lbs dry fasted, ended at 189.0lbs dry fasted)
- Squat increased from 315x5 to 315x6
- Felt amazing - not groggy and lazy all day. Probably due to lower insulin levels when fasting.

That was BY FAR the most successful cut i've ever had in terms of how fast I progressed. Some people cut for 12 weeks to achieve that! I just don't want to ever cut in any other way again. This is the way to go for me.

The other cool thing is that i see visual progress within just a few days. And when I wake up at 6am, I don't feel the need to go back to sleep. I'm awake, alert, and clear headed. I love the feeling.
