Well... I'm sorry to say that I have read some of the material posted above... It does seem to have some merit to it (scientifically), at least on the part of longevity.

why sorry?

The most interesting aspects for me are the effects on hormones. From an evolutionary perspective it makes a lot of sense.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is "catabolism."
I'm into bodybuilding and maintaining an anabolic state is a priority

No BS here, but intermittent fasting does work. Well in my case it's working great. Dropping bf while maintaining lbm. Don't take my word, do your research.

I hit the gym around 10:30am (fasted). While working out I'm drinking BCAAs. Post workout meal is around 12:30/1:00. My last meal is around 6-6:30pm. I do this 6 days a week with one cheat day. Gotta spend time with the old lady..

Not a good idea.
You're not supplying your body with adequate nutrients to compensate for the amount of training you're doing.
You are going to lose muscle, which will slow down your metabolism even more.
Catabolic refers to the metabolic process that is characterized by molecular breakdown and energy release, such as the decrease of muscle mass. Thus, it means "muscle loss" in many common bodybuilding contexts.
