so let’s answer the question is it

possible to gain muscle mass when you’re

doing in a minute fasting let’s say you

want to get the benefit of doing in a

minute fasting yet you also want to gain

muscle how would you do it well there’s

several factors here sometimes people

have this idea that they have to spike

insulin to grow their muscles so they’re

gonna do carbo-loading because after all

if you stimulate carbohydrates you’ll

trigger insulin and insulin is an

anabolic hormone makes sense right but

in reality when you stimulate insulin

that much or too much you create insulin

and resistance and if you have insulin

resistance

you can’t absorb amino acids that well

anymore this is why a pre-diabetic

or a diabetic or someone that has

insulin resistance doesn’t absorb

protein or amino acids that well so here

you are trying to gain muscle mass but

all this glucose and this insulin is

creating a resistance to that protein

going in your body there’s this product

called serious mass and I have a picture

of it right here or you’re supposed to

take this product and bulk up right two

scoops is 252 grams of carbohydrates

this is two scoops and the first

ingredient is multi dextran okay this is

way worse than sugar it’s way worse than

hyper just corn syrup it’s like 110 on

the glycemic index so what’s gonna

happen you are going to bulk up but you

are gonna bulk up with a lot of fat this

is going to spike your blood sugars and

create a lot of complications alright

let’s talk about some other factors I’m

gonna recommend you do two meals a day

okay if you’re trying to develop more

muscle mass not one meal a day but two

meals a day and at the very minimum do

intermittent fasting 16 hours so you’re

basically fasting for 16 hours and you

have an 8 hour eating window so let’s

say your first meal is at 10:00 in the

morning and your next one is at 6:00 and

you can do any pattern you want but just

starting out this would be the very

minimum to start seeing improvement

because

we want to do in a minute fasting to

spike growth hormone but as you do it

you want to start increasing this more

in more and more and more until you get

to a point where this fasting is 21

hours in a three hour eating wind out if

possible we also have to make sure that

there’s enough calories in your meals

too because if your meals just don’t

have enough food it’s gonna be really

hard to grow muscles so you’re gonna

have to determine how many calories you

need but the average person will

probably need somewhere around 1,500

calories per meal or a little bit more

alright the next thing that’s really

important is exercise volume exercising

enough using heavy weights really

working your body to the point where you

are getting sore and you’re creating

change all right number three

carbohydrates maybe you want to keep

your carbs on the high end but not go

over 50 grams well depending on your age

let’s say you’re younger maybe you do 60

grams maybe even 70 grams but don’t go

any higher than that that way we get the

benefits of ketones so you’ve been

consuming enough carbs to keep normal

insulin so when you do a low carb diet

in a minute fasting we’re not bringing

this down to zero if all we’re doing is

bring it to a normal range so you’re

still gonna have the anabolic effect of

insulin but you’re just not going to

have the insulin resistance so as you do

this you’re gonna have the benefit of

absorbing Meuse amino acids too so that

brings us to number four having a

complete protein branched chain amino

acids are not complete you cannot build

muscle protein with just a partial

profile of amino acids you need the most

complete protein and the best protein

out there it would be the egg protein

okay fish is good there’s other types of

essential amino acid blends especially

when you’re taking them when to fasting

just to really make sure 100% that

you’re not actually losing any muscle at

all but that being said if you’re

fasting 16 hours up to 21 hours you’re

not going to be losing any muscle and

also make sure you have enough amino

acids so 6 to 8 ounces per meal

depending on your age if you’re a little

younger and you’re more active maybe you

do 9 ounces per meal

now nutrients you don’t just build

muscle

with protein you need other nutrients

calcium B vitamins magnesium vitamin D

potassium very necessary and this is why

you want to do the healthy version of

keto some other factors that can slow

you down is having high cortisol that’s

a stress hormone and that can come from

not sleeping so sleeping increases

growth hormone and cortisol inhibits

growth hormones so this is one way to

really create a loss of muscle mass and

this is one problem with women going

through menopause is the adrenals are

backing up the ovaries and there’s a

spike in cortisol and a lot of times we

have a loss of muscle and it looks like

fat but it’s atrophy so cortisol is very

very destructive on your muscle so you

want to keep your stress as low as

possible now if you’re doing prolonged

fasting

I wouldn’t go past 72 hours if you’re

trying to maintain your muscle mass not

that it’s going to be a problem but if

you’re new to this if you go too long

and you don’t have enough reserve built

up it could create a little loss of

muscle alright guys there you have it

these are the factors to help you

maintain and even grow more muscle mass
