What is /fit/'s experience with Intermittent Fasting (IF) and the 'Greek God' program in general?

have any anons tried either of these? and is IF an effective way of cutting?

I'm about to be finished with my bulk cycle, and am curious as to whether or not I should try this fasting method. thoughts?

There are a few anons around who have the Warrior and Greek God pdfs, I remember they were a common request in the filesharing threads a few weeks back.
The diet info seems pretty solid but the actual lifting programs are shit.

aha, i'd be interested in taking a read of the pdf, as I don't want to spend money on the program.

I'd likely just stick with my own lifting schedule, as from what I can tell, the program says to only work out 3 times a week, whereas i'm used to going 5-6 times.

although i'm mainly curious about dieting, as i'd like to find an effective method of cutting in shorter periods of time, which seems to be where a program like this would shine.

As long as you're in a deficit.
It's still possible to gain fat weight on IF if you're a retarded hambeast eating fast food every day/drinking the sugary jew.
But the typical IF protocol is 16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating. If you're eating normal, healthy food then it's quite difficult to eat a large surplus in an 8 hour window. So that is what it essentially becomes - a caloric restriction.

I'm following Greg's stuff and gains have been fucking amazing, specially with the reverse pyramid training stuff. My OHP and Incline Bench are strong as fuck in a matter of a few months and currently doing pullups with 100+lbs attached (I couldn't do BW x 8 when I started). All of this while cutting.

And the diet strategy is awesome as well. I'm for the first time of my life enjoying cutting to 6-8% bf.

My current diet is pretty solid, I don't eat shitty foods, etc.

I'm mainly curious if it's a faster way of cutting. by increasing my deficit even further. What I want to avoid though is losing gains as well as just burning fat due to having too large of a deficit.

example is when i'm bulking i'll be eating ~3k calories a day, while exercising, while cutting i'm usually down to ~2.2k. I'm thinking of going with IF in order to cut down to say 1800 calories a day, although am a bit fearful of doing this, as I don't want my lifts to suffer, have low energy levels, etc.

We don't know your stats or your macros. If you're going to cut then don't expect your lifts to be amazing. IIFYM calculators will give you the ability to fine tune everything, but at the end of the day it's all about your willpower.
First week of IF was torture for me, since I would normally eat before going to bed.
Some people just fast for 24 hours once a week and eat normally the rest of the days, technically it's still "IF".
But if you say your diet is solid then I would jump on the IF for a month and see how it goes.

okay, thanks, i'll give it a try, would you recommend a 8hr eating / 16 hour fast split? or should I go even stricter?

I would try 16/8 first and see how you handle that.
If you want to restrict calories even further then there is the 20/4.
16/8 is what Greg does though.

okay, sounds good, i'll definitely start out with the 16 / 8.

Also, presumably it's best to stick with IF, even after reaching my desired body fat %, do you have any experience with how IF works when bulking?

As long as you can pound in all your calories and be in a surplus in that 8 hour window then it would be beneficial for bulking as well since IF helps burn fat and preserve muscle. Can't be bothered to find the study, but it shows that hgh is higher when working out fasted vs working out with food in your stomach.
