Your body will use this tiny bit of fat before accessing body fat, but you will still get all the benefits.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/132527/question-for-if-experts/132538#132538 Answer by FED at LiveCaveman.com for Question for IF Experts FED at LiveCaveman.com 2012-07-04T20:06:37Z 2012-07-04T20:06:37Z <p>I would not say that I am an "expert", but in the past two months I have found success in implementing a daily IF (8/16) and have achieved much better results than paleo or primal on their own.</p> <p>I do not count coffee with a tbsp of coconut oil or butter, fish oil, fasted pre workout BCAAs (10-15gms) or my 2 daily Brazil nuts into the "feeding window" and only consider my first real meal as the official start. I do tend to eat my second meal about 4 or 5 hours later, so sometimes the coffee/supplements/etc. do fall into the 8 hour period, but more often than not they don't.</p> <p>My abs are visible for the first time in a while and my strength and muscularity have been maintained unlike what happened when I followed a strict Loren Cordain style paleo. That time, I got abs, but I also looked rather skinny and emaciated.</p>
