My goal is to get as lean as Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon. No calorie restriction, same amount of weight lifting etc. Just switching my diet, just meats, organs, some raw meats too, only water to drink. No salt or spices added. And some greens. And maybe some in season berries. Did a pre diet one, skin already better and weight down a bit
Few Weeks Ago, Weight about 174
Now 168
This is my Goal,
I will lift the same amount of weight. So muscle shouldn't change, just fat percent.
My weight lifting and strength training. and even martial background is very similar to Bruce. So we will see
there's only ONE way to get shredded and lose only fat without changing your diet....it's called INTERMITTENT FASTING
I've recommended this to a few guys on the forum and they've all had nothing but good things to say within a month or two
if you want some info / help or whatever PM me
if not just google it although the internet doesn't always tell you everything
BEST OF LUCK!
Have you guys heard of the raw paleo diet? That's kind of what I do.

I have gotten leaner with the same muscle mass before. Actually improved muscle mass. I cut out certain foods, which in turn cut calories cause I ate cleaner.
Say if you eat meat fruits, veggies and nuts. You can cut out roasted nuts. Unsalted nuts. Sweet fruits like bananas. Your body will eat less. Cause it needs less calories with more nutrition foods. You body will gauge it alone.
Here's a video I made recently

This be also my goal, fellow Bruce Lee fan. I should've taken a picture of myself before my workouts and diet. I took one today, but I have nothing to compare it to. I plan to up my game by running more, and getting on a better diet(my diet is mostly water and avoiding bad food since I'm actually trying to gain weight). I'm already doing kickboxing and Bjj. So I will somehow post the picture I posted today and intensify my training then post another in 3 or 4 months. I had been thinking about it for a while but I saw this post and now I'm like. . . . THIS IS A SIGN. I will start today, no better day, been delaying it for like a month for no real reason. Keep us posted!

Intermittent fasting has benefits, but there is always more than one way to do anything.

It's just the fastest safest and most effective IMO
but as I always say, to each his own there is no 1 lifestyle fits all

I usually do fast during the day. Similar to the warrior diet, Im active during the day and usually eat early or late evening.

that's not what intermittent fasting is
it's not just fasting, it's eating during a certain time window (4/6/8hours depends on what you want 4 hours for leaning out)

Maybe if your a pencil pushing nerd. If you have a physical job and try to fast 16 hours a day you'll f--- around and pass out or get fired

that's a huge misconception
you don't get tired
you don't feel a lack of energy
You get all the calories your body requires and you tune your eating window to your lifestyle
If you feel tired or "done" you're doing something wrong.

Not everyone's body reacts the same. Some peoples blood sugar is more sensitive than others. If your training very hard and work a physical job it can be problematic to fast for that long. Training hard and eating small nutritious meals every 3-4 hours throughout the day keeps your body in an anabolic state and that works better for some people. It also keeps your insulin levels stable, unlike fasting and then eating lots of food in a short window. Just my two cents but like iI said everyones body is different I guess.

never said it was for everyone, but it's always worth a try to see if it's for you or not
