Blitz Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I had appetite issues due to orals last year. I kinda ran with it and did IF and would wait until I was hungry for at least an hour before eating. This would make my fast 8pm to 1pm. As I did this I ended up building my intake during this time and then kinda broke through and went back to normal after a couple months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be time to do a "mini cut" and bring food levels down as well as body fat. Hows recovery? Typically overreaching (I don't like to call it overtraining) can only be done so long, as well as force feeding, if progress is starting to stall may want to evaluate your training. Adding in cardio is ALWAYS a good option when appetite starts to die. I do a form of intermittent fasting, simply because I'm not typically to hungry at breakfast and don't like breakfast style foods - I'm not a believer and literature supports this as well that you need breakfast or food late night. As long as you're able to hit your daily goals - you should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get too caught up in the scale but you should be having other measures of progress as well. If things are progressing don't make any changes - ride those out. If things aren't then reevaluate things. If this were myself and progress has stopped, I'd look at three options: 1. Come down to a cruise or off, lower calories, add slight cardio everyday and lower training volume (not intensity) 2. Add in cardio, change drugs, keep food the same, lower training volume or keep it the same. 3. Keep food the same, add in cardio, increase drugs, keep training volume the same or increase. Personally, I'd opt for 1. As 2 and 3 risk over reaching and driving yourself into a hole which will make recovery harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
