Why I Do Not Recommend Calorie Restriction To Get Ripped!

In this video "Why I Do Not Recommend Calorie Restriction To Get Ripped!" i wanted to share with you all why i do not recommend calorie restriction at all for getting ripped.

I also talk about how i have found from my own personal experience that i have never needed to calorie restriction to get a ripped body with around a body fat percentage of 8% that i maintain all year round. 

Instead i have found that just by doing daily intermittent fasting with the 16/8 intermittent fasting method and then later switching to one meal a day that i do not need to calorie restrict or count calories EVER! 

I always eat an unlimited amount of calories on a whole foods plant based vegan diet but i just avoid having three meals a day! I eat around 3000 calories whilst eating on the 16/8 intermittent fasting method and now with eating one meal a day (Omad diet).

So many people in the bodybuilding movement say you need to calorie restrict to get a ripped body with a low body fat percentage but this is a complete myth that i have personally debunked with my own vegan calisthenics journey.

I have always found that calorie restriction and counting calories just really inconvenient for my busy lifestyle and i just feel restricted which has a negative effect on my emotional and mental well being as it just becomes overwhelming for me.

So if you want to achieve a ripped body without calorie restriction then i highly advice you get into daily intermittent fasting which has shown to boost human growth hormone levels by around 2000% in me, testosterone levels by 200-400%, it also gets your body to burn its own body fat as fuel, it lowers insulin and much more.
