Oh and with school coming up and having my first class at 8am every day… I was thinking something like this because I REALLY don’t want to cook breakfast in the morning:
7:00am - wake-up, MAG-10 pulse, coffee
10:30am - Anaconda Protocol 2, lift at 11am
1:30pm - big meal of high protein/moderate carbs
5:00pm - big meal of high protein/moderate fat
8:00pm - big meal of high protein/moderate fat
10:00pm - sleep

The warrior diet is a type of intermittent fasting, but a drastically oversimplified and (by many accounts) ineffective version.
I would not judge all intermittent fasting protocols based on the feedback from the warrior diet, as I have seen (and experienced) nothing but positive things regarding Martin Berkhan and John Keifer’s protocols, whereas the results are mixed with the warrior diet.
Obviously training frequency is going to be a concern with something like this if you are training multiple times in the same day, but it is conceivable that one could have their first session of the day during the transition from fast to feeding- for the sake of the example, we will say that the fast is broken at 12pm. Possibly something like the first anaconda protocol to take advantage of the metabolic advantages afforded by the heavily fasted state (much of the research done on leucine and CH was done on fasted individuals, recreating the scenarios presented in the research = getting closer to recreating the results) taken in during the first training session. Followed by a fairly large (moderate carb) whole food meal 1 hour post (2-3pm, and then the second training session around 6 pm with a (relatively) lower carbohydrate intake peri-workout while maintaining a high protein intake during this time. You could even periodize the training so that the first session is higher tension (promotes glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis) with a reduced neural and fatigue cost (think the eccentricless stuff CT has been talking about) and the second session a higher volume power based session where the real growth is stimulated). An EOD training schedule seems like it would be appropriate, with the second day being a drastically lower calorie/low carbohydrate day and possibly some energy systems/depletion type work involved. To me, this seems like an excellent recomposition strategy. Of course, this is all speculation and I don’t have the time or resources to implement something this complex. Just thinking out loud if anyone was interested.
