hey guys I had a question does

intermittent fasting cause muscle loss

so I just created a video on that it’s

going to be a short video the answer is

no okay let me tell you why well first

of all intermittent fasting triggers a

hormone called growth hormone growth

hormone is the main hormone that spares

muscle protein breakdown in your body it

protects it cortisol the stress hormone

and insulin both cause destruction of

your muscles okay so stress eating sugar

having instant resistance being a

diabetic destroys your muscles one study

which I’ll put a link down below states

that forty hours of fasting did not

trigger any breakdown of muscle at all

skeletal muscle that’s and they

basically there’s other studies that

show that you can even go longer without

breaking down muscle protein so if you

were to go having even one meal a day

and thinking that’s going to be

destructive to your workouts not true

your body’s not stupid it’s if you don’t

eat you actually do stimulate certain

hormones that protect the body against

loss of muscle and this has been going

on a long time in the evolutionary

process of the body so your body is

adapted to not eating

okay so ketones going on a ketogenic

diet or cutting down your carbs will

also stimulate the this the protection

of muscle as well so that’s growth

hormone spares protein eating in general

suppresses growth hormone so every time

you eat you actually block growth

formula right the main hormone that

spares protein so intermittent fasting

can boost growth hormone by between 300

and 2,000 percent that’s significant so

there’s other things that will also do

it like low blood sugar keeping your

sugars out of the diet deep sleep deep

quality sleep will do it live and b3

niacin we’ll do it in a minute fasting

we talked about that in hard core

exercise those are the things if you

want to protect your muscles those are

the things that you do thanks for
