Is the fasting causing you to lose any weight or possibly the exact opposite because your body is trying to hold on to its fat as its been starved for that many hours a day?

actually i lost alot of fat in the thigh area which is where i tend to hold fat, and my weight is up 3 kgs till now so i am very happy. when u fast one of the health benefits is that it gives the pancreas a good break so any movement or even reading studying thinking - which burns alot of cals btw- takes its energy from the available fat stores where they're burned in the liver for supplying energy. thats why i was telling u iam planning on fasting a couple of days a week after ramadan ends.

if u want to i can write u alist of fasting benefits.

diet:

brekkie: veggies stuffed with rice and ground beef, 2 steaks and mum made cake

snack: mixed nuts and fruits

dinner: veggies stuffed with rice and ground beef, 2 steaks

sehri: beans and granary bread , lots of dried fruit

Ah k then. Just googled some of the benefits of fasting. Seems really interesting but I enjoy my food too much and very much dislike being hungry :P. Interesting to see that its actually possibly to gain size while fasting.

You seem to like your steaks don't you? :P

ya , every year in the past when it was ramadan i'd stop training and eat like a pig thinking that iam losing mass , and after ramadan i'd start training again but i was always getting fat this way. then i read a couple of books that said that u can train  and preserve muscles. i tried and i gained muscle mass iam actually very happy.

lol about the steaks i live with my parents so i eat what my mum cooks , but i have directed her towards some healthy foods like grilled chicken and beef instead of fried and this week she made steaks so i dived into them :D other wise i eat chicken which i got sick of been eating it for the past year without any changes .

hey mate..
just had a read thru and ur journal looks v interesting mate!!
reagrds to ur weight sessions, i see u have said previously u enjoy push / pull splits, or lower/ upper.. have a lookinto the DC routine that i have just started to follow..
its pretty much a lower/ upper split and im lovin it right now.. everythin gets hit 3 times every 2 wk period so u'll still be keeping frequency high as u do with ur current routine!!

anyway, keep up the good work mate..
o to live in a place where steroids can be bought over the counter!!! haha.. maybe one day i'll be in ur position too mate!!

thnx mate i wanted to try dc so bad but i found out alot of mixed information and i couldn't gasp the concept of how to train what rep range to use what excercises to use , i got lost so i'll read ur journal and copy what ur doing to be able to use it.  about the steroids its really a blessing :D

Good work bro. Pics are looking good. Your lifts are impressive. I had to lookup hack squats to see what they were. Do you do this because you have no squat rack or do you simply prefer them? They must be good for grip.

thnx alot bro. i was doing them this week only because i had some back twinges , so next week will probably go back to the MAN squats nothing better than them.

yeah pics lookin good fella!!
lookin nice and lean..v good frame to work with mate!!

yeah take a look.. by no means is what im doin exactly to the letter of dc but its pretty close!!
i tend to add 1-2 more exercises in for certain body parts sometimes and so far feels real good..
about t change some fo the rep ranges tho  to suit wat works best for me!!

thnx mate , will definately keep checking the changes :D

diet:

brekkie: veggies filled with rice and beef , 1 hen thigh and cake

snack: dried fruits and nuts

*dinner:1 double Mcroyal and 1 db Cheese burger

sehri: beans and bread

* well i have been screwing my diet lately but today was seriously outof hand my friends came home to sit with me and they came with packagesof macdonalds so we just had to do what the slogan said " i'm lovin it" . seriously though i won't cheat the upcoming week thats a promiseand if i do please feel free to smack me on the head.
