[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 266119, member: 43589"] Intermittent fasting is a huge trend now, how ever how effective is this diet when it comes to gaining muscle and strength. This study used an 16/8 type of intermittent fast most common on Muslim religions. [MEDIA=youtube]pKG6TsdsqFs[/MEDIA] [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37068775/#:~:text=Conclusions%3A%20Practicing%20RT%20during%20RIF,in%20FED%20or%20fasted%20state.[/URL] My take on this. While in the 29 day period these subjects did not lose any muscle mass, the subjects who training after eating did gain strength. Over time, these strength gains will lead to muscle hypertrophy. So while fasting is not optimal for resistance training, it may be possible to get around the negatives by training in a non-fasted period.

One thing I want to point out with the comparison is Ramadan is a religious celebration and the amount of calories you eat after sundown until sun up is not a concern at all. In fact, "the ultimate goal of fasting during Ramadan is gaining greater God-consciousness, known in Arabic as [I]taqwa[/I], signifying a state of constant awareness of God. From this awareness a person should gain discipline, self-restraint and a greater incentive to do good and avoid wrong." Those that do intermittent fasting are doing this only to change body composition and be healthy. That being said, it is even more important that those who do intermittent fasting understand that training while fasted is not optimal for gaining muscle or strength, like wise being in a negative caloric balance is also not optimal.
