Not nearly enough info. We need to know:

  • age
  • height. 220 actually good weight for 6ft male, if there is some muscle. Someone 5'4
  • diet. Soda and hfcs are enemy number one. Sodium in take. Especially if you are 40 and index you'd be surprised how much wegkht you can lose on accou rkfj "water weight" attributed to sodium, things like soda
  • use Splenda in coffee rahte than sugar. If you eat a lot of omelettes or eggs, use pam or spray rather than butter.
  • i dont like intermittent fasting for men
  • btw,I am someone who partakes in Red Bull. I have found the sugar free much worse. The fake sugar has a mechanism whereby it tricks your body into thinking it has sugar. When it discovers it doesn't, it creates incredibly strong urges that I myself could not ignore. So if you partake in something like red bull and can't do without, go with regular PROVIDED it does not contain hfcs. I hate coca cola and American sodas, but if that is something you enjoy and weillnoy give up, get more expensive versions made with cane sugar or or fructose. Moderation is key thoygh. One Mexican coke made withreal cane sugar ok, but is a problem if youyou uh do it every day.

It does drop testosterone but most studies report heightened test levels after fasting. Those levels are also sustained.

I just don't believe it doesn't hurt muscle mass...

It only hurts muscle mass if you totally refrain from any exercise. Studies show that you need to do a bare minimum level of fitness during the fast. In fact the body preserves muscle on a fast because it needs it to hunt for food. Metabolism also goes up not down. Almost everything were told about fasting is a lie. Which makes sense because fasting conflicts with the sugar and constant eating pushed by mainstream food culture.

I increased my muscle mass and lost weight at the same time, despite people saying thats not possible. Workout + Fasting + Chicken

I track my fat, water and muscle %, so I know it works

I merely stated that I am skeptical. When training, I have noticed loss of strength and mass if I miss meals/protrib intake.

It works out if you take in sufficient protein on your eating days which is hard if you overdo the fasting.
