so I want to create a quick video to

answer this question why doesn’t muscle

loss occur during fasting or in a minute

fasting okay it has to do with this one

single hormone called growth hormone

human growth hormone when you do fasting

or imminent fasting you majorly trigger

this hormone in very large quantities

and growth hormone protects and

preserves body protein and muscle is a

body protein and there was some research

done that validates this what they did

is they had this group of people take a

drug which suppresses growth hormone

okay so we just take growth from the

picture while this group of people were

fasting okay and what they found was

they actually lost 50 percent of their

muscle without the help of growth

hormone so growth hormone is the key

factor that preserves and protects your

muscles from being lost fat is the

tissue that is used for fuel okay when

there’s no food available muscle is not

the tissue used as a fuel source only as

a last-ditch effort to help you survive

when you’re starving but you would have

to be very very into that stage of

starving and very sick before that

happens so exercise is really the main

tool to help you build muscle fasting in

a minute fasting is a tool to protect

and preserve the muscle from being a

lost as well as in the reparative

functions of muscle alright thanks for

watching

hey guys so I hope you’re gonna make it

to the Kido House summit October 13 and

14 now we’re going to cover a tremendous

amount information but there’s one thing

that I think is going to be very

important to fully understand it’s a

situation where someone is fasting doing

one meal a day and it’s really healthy

keto yet still the person is only losing

tiny amounts of weight per week okay

like barely anything we’re going to talk

about exactly why that is what to do and

how to correct it and it usually has

nothing to do with metabolism this

information is completely

brand-new and not on any YouTube videos

and I will see you in October
