Hey all! I just joined this topic, and my goal is to pick up whatever I can from this community — mainly to drop some weight and, if I can, visceral fat. Intermittent fasting is something I've given a shot, but the info out there is all over the place about whether it costs you too much lean mass (at 55, that's not something I can risk). So I'm eager to give this method a try and find out whether it gets me healthier. Can't wait to absorb a ton from everyone here, and hopefully chip in somewhere down the line.
 
In my family, intermittent fasting became a big thing, and as time went on, I watched my parents get smaller and smaller. My father in particular shed the bulk of his muscle mass. He's remarkably fit, yet the size and definition he used to have are completely gone.
 
My intermittent fasting routine falls in the range of 18/6 to 20/4, and thanks to both my eating plan and working out, I have gained muscle. Peps can assist with weight loss and with going after visceral fat, yet in the end what matters most is a solid, clean diet plus exercise (both are required).
