Hello. sorry if my English is bad. I have a question on losing weight. And I need to do it fast for I joined a December weight contest. so for background. I have 5 months on lifting on the gym. My weight before was 110 klg(242lbs) now it’s 73klg(160lbs). I have loss that since I stop eating more, less sugar, hitting the gym and then with my active work. now my body gained muscles and can lift 550 lbs in leg press. My goal for this year until the year end is to have at least a shredded body or beach body for the weight contest. now my question is…
​
body background:
Why I want to lose weight?
Why did you choose Intermittent Fasting?
Do you have experience in IF before?
What is your goal after the contest?
Why ask help here?
So any question I need to entertain. pls do, I want to grow big and strong using this IF diet method. cause I fuckin love good clean food.

Yes, IF can be a great tool, but when we care about maintaining the muscle we spent so much effort building or have aspirations of getting really lean low body fat percentages - not just smaller, that still require some additional planning.
You can’t just ignore your nutrition because it gets a little difficult to track during the holidays or stop being consistent because you ate more than intended at a special occasion and want to fast completely to make up for it. That’s not going to lead to the results you want.
You still need to adhere to some basic muscle sparing principles if you want to get really lean. It doesn’t need to all be boiled chicken, rice, and broccoli at every meal, and IF can help facilitate some occasional food choices by pushing more of our nutrition together, but I’d encourage finding a better balance.
