I'll give it a try when I get back from Aruba at the end of the month. Did you guys go full tilt into 6-7 days a week or did you play with the schedule a little?

I went straight into it but I already had some habits to support it.  Was already skipping breakfast here and there and was limiting lunch intake as well.   That said my lifestyle was already on track for the routine and I just buttoned it up and made it more regimented.

Sun-Thurs are good enough, Friday and Saturday are for bourbon.

I started it in December 2019 and lost 18 lbs.  I eat between  noon and 8 pm.  It's really easy I don't miss breakfast at all. I also cut out soft drinks and fruit juices. I pretty much drink water only. I stop drinking energy drinks and I feel better than I have in years.

Intermittent fasting is the lazy way for fat people to ‘get healthy’.

I started this a few weeks ago and felt great.  Weekends are harder for me and I just celebrated my birthday, so that blew it a bit.  I'm doing 16-8, but could probably get away with 18-6.  

If you can do 18/6 I would highly recommend it.  IMO it makes a difference.

Real men do OMAD and 23.5/.5

But for real, on lifting days I do 16/8 and Cardio Days more like 20/4

Also Cold Showers. Do it.

Cold showers are a f*cking RUSH, took me a few weeks to work up to 10min 

Right after a workout feels great.

There is also a type of fat in your body that activates when you get cold, so there's actually a science behind it.

Lol fat people rationale always cracks me up

Brown fat is not activated with your ten minute cold shower lol. Stay in there for 3 hours we’ll talk.

Benefits of a cold show and ice bath come from shivering (if you can handle that), but more importantly when you warm back up, it increases your blood boost flow thus giving your muscles more to heal and overall more energy.
