Also, Thoughts on drinking distilled water?

Absolutely. Just figure them into your macros.

When the body utilizes lean tissue for energy.

This occurs only when the following are satisfied:

1. A caloric deficit

2. A caloric requirement (usually in amino acids and glycogen) exists beyond the supplied calories in reference to lean tissue repair - and glycogen is fully depleted from the lean tissue.
AND/OR
3. Lean tissue is used/torn (microtears) during the fast once glycogen stores are low or fully depleted.

OR
4. A caloric deficit for a long enough period of time for all glycogen stores to be depleted and no ketosis is present.



Fasting for 20 hours if you do nothing but sit around will not burn lean tissue. However fasting for 20 hours when being highly active and working out can and usually will burn muscle tissue unless a massive amount of glycogen is replenished immediately post workout...and the initial workout was not enough to cause significant microtears the muscles.

1. Water retention
2. Density of muscle and bone
3. Fat in hidden areas
4. More food stored in the digestive tract

The skin of the potato?

It adds fiber, that's about it. Just make sure you THOROUGHLY scrub the outside of the potato with soap and water prior to cooking and eating (also make sure to get all the soap off lol).

Yes and No.

If you are trying to bulk, you really need to be eating every 2-3 hours for maximum benefit. However, if you do eat enough after waking up and throughout the day, you can offset some of the depletion from the overnight without food.

Generally only the most professional lifters have the issue of having to constantly stay fed throughout the night (due to massive glycogen depletion and huge amounts of lean tissue repair needed).

Long story short, I would advise no more than 10 hours total fasting time (including sleep) if you are trying to bulk.

Heey i got 2 question,
1. Is Creatine Monohydrate in powderform any good? my m8 says that it will just add around 2kg water too the muscles and just give me more strenght on the first lift at the gym like nothing necessary.
2. If i'll use it, will it make me look bigger(not much but noticable?) that's it

Tips on lasting longer(in bed) please

I was just wondering if you could help out on the dosages for an EC stack, or if you would recommend for/against doing it
