For those who Fast (Do IF)

[BobbySweeney]

Take 3 Grams of HICA 8 hours and ten hours into your fast

Also take 3 Grams of FREE ACID HMB at the same times.

Much better recovery and less catabolism this way, I’m way fuller and have gained serious lean mass since starting this.


I like to share revolutionary things of learned and then let you do the googling to back my shit up.

Doesn’t the intake of aminos break your fast? The same concept of taking bcaas before fasted cardio...

I am actually someone doing IF right now, been doing 16:8s and 1 24 hour fast a week. I’m going to try doing this, I have some hica and HMB, why not give it shot?

One trick I’ve done that helped a lot with digestion was drinking a warm cup of chicken stock about 15mins before breaking my fast.

Aminos yes. But not these two specific compounds. Also , BCAA’s while fasted and EAA’s while fasted cause muscle catabolism.

Hmb is not Free Acid hmb.
Use free acid.

I’m aware of that. Will do

This doesn’t make sense to me, once you intake bcaas or eaas technically you are no longer fasted. But all that aside, there are studies that show that bcaas are anabolic in fasted state.

While doing IF (and extended), I have only water, and sometimes some sodium (Himalayan pink), potassium, and little baking soda added at times.
If you’re nourishing well / nutrient dense during your feeds, you will not be catabolic during fasting.

Some “IF” heads are funny because I’ll see them drinking bulletproof coffee with heavy cream and ghee. I’d question them even though I already know the answer and they say it’s still fasting. No, it’s a bulletproof fast but you’re not technically fasting. Some people lol
