LOL hey jason I have the same inspire fitness equipment great machine durring times like this

[@LegendStudioGames]

Can you please do a video on high protein diets? I'm considering eating 150+ grams of protein on my 16/8 IF days in order to curb hunger and not binge and regain fat from my 72hr fasts. But I've heard protein creates an insulin response, is that something I should be worried about?

[@Teslawaverunner]

Could you possibly do an analysis on the Phoenix Protocol ( August Dunning ) specifically Chapter 3 on water fasting. According to this book an extended water fast beyond a couple of days will result in heart muscle loss ! This sounds counter intuitive , how would we have survived in Hunter gatherer days if by drinking water while on a hunt ( and therefore not eating food ) the heart was destroyed. The medical information in Chapter 3 looks like it is well referenced to medical reports so not easily dismissed. Would appreciate an MD analysis thx

Thanks for posting this. It's important to note that Terry Crews has said he does 16:8 and works out in the morning. He then continues fasting after his workout until 2pm.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:10 🏋️‍♂️ *Muscle growth or shrinkage depends on stress applied, not solely on diet. Adequate nutrition prevents using muscle for fuel unless body fat percentage is extremely low.* 02:20 📊 *Alternate daily fasting did not decrease lean mass (including muscle); in fact, it potentially increased it, compared to fat loss.* 03:42 🔄 *Fasting strategies were more effective at preserving lean mass (muscle) compared to chronic calorie restriction, with a 4x better result in lean mass preservation.* 04:09 ⚖️ *Growth hormone plays a crucial role in lean tissue maintenance. Fasting increases growth hormone, preserving lean muscle while promoting fat loss, without causing side effects like injected growth hormone.* 06:29 🍲 *Fasting utilizes glucose and fat stores for energy, not protein. Body doesn't use muscle for fuel if other energy sources are available.* 07:09 🕒 *Terry Crews practices a 16-hour daily fast, followed by an 8-hour eating window. Exercising in a fasted state can increase training intensity and recovery due to hormonal changes.* 08:04 🌟 *Training in a fasted state, as done by Terry Crews and other celebrities, offers benefits such as heightened training ability, faster recovery, and anti-aging benefits without significant side effects.*

I proved this is true for myself. I did my first 7-day water fast recently, at a point where my lifts were at their peak (bench, military press, lat pulls, etc). I lost 12 pounds during the fast.

Went through a phase in my 40s-60s when I was much, much heavier, and unhealthy. It’s all about the Holy Trinity: 1. FASTING 2. DIET (eating green leafy and cruciferous vegetables, oily fish, avocado, raw nuts etc) 3. EXERCISE - especially resistance training. Get that into a daily routine and you will look better, feel better and most important of all be healthier. Never too late to start!

[@AnovaLisaDragonfly]

How perfect! I’m starting ADF with weight training. A beautiful friend who’s been weight lifting for years says that fasting and lifting don’t really go together, that lifting requires eating throughout every day to stay fueled and feed muscle growth. But I knew I could make it work, get all the benefits of fasting AND lose weight and build muscle. As long as I keep my feeding days high-protein and nutritionally dense. Appreciating this video and the comments.

[@SuperMrAndersen]

This doctor I think was talking about NOT loosing muscle, not about gaining muscle. We have fuel in our body for about 1 day as glycogen. But when fasting where we get protein which we need all the time for blood for example?! I think we need to eat protein every day for just not to lose muscle.

3:41: The numbers in this table cannot be correct. A difference between the two methods in the lean mass of 0.4 kg would correspond to 1.7% only if the total mass is 23.5 kg. As a mathematician, I can tell you that working with percentages can be tricky. So, I also created a spreadsheet with assumed total mass, etc., and there is no reasonable scenario where these numbers can be justified, unless the people in the ADF group were several TIMES heavier than those in the CR group. Another issue is that the differences between the groups might not be statistically significant (difficult to tell, since the sample size was not provided).

thank you so much Doc Jason Fung you save my life God bless

[@We_Must_Resist]

Thanks Jason. That was reassuring. I need to fast for at least 40 hours each week (ie a full day and a night) as well as OMAD the other days. I thought I was doing OK and now you have confirmed it. I have nothing to worry about.

Impressed to see him do one arm pull ups.

[@canna-spot]

everybody can do that like he did - just try yourself

[@Ajayharrysimon]

@@canna-spot how someone that couldn't even do 2 arms pull up do that?

[@Global.Healthete]

That’s basically a normal pull-up guys

[@winstonvillamin8863]

@@canna-spot I can only do 3 pull ups using both arms. Thought it was easy 2 months ago. Excruciatingly hard.

Short answer yes but that's bc your body does so in general. If you take care of your self even when fasting, you can gain muscle. Lift!

[@GerryStilton]

Thank you Dr. Fung for sharing the information!

[@fueledbyplantzz]

This is the best explanation of fasting and building muscle I’ve ever heard

[@bbradley280]

Yep started fasting and lost 40lbs then, started a weight lifting regiment gaining 10lbs of muscle. Feel like I’m in better shape then I was at 30.

[@sokingssddk]

How long did putting on 10lbs of muscles take?

[@bbradley280]

Good for you, Bradly! I have lost over 80 lbs in the past 7 months, while gaining muscle.

This video provides an insightful explanation backed by scientific studies, debunking common myths about fasting and muscle loss. It's truly eye-opening to understand how fasting can actually preserve lean muscle mass and offer various health benefits.

@@jamesvw769 Your idea that if you fast that it necessarily means you cannot afford food is much mistaken.

I have done 7-day water fast 3 times and had great results. I struggled badly with headaches the first 2 times. The third time, I ate once a day (higher fat and minimal carbs from vegetables only) for 5 days prior to my 7-day water fast. I had no headaches, and the difficult first 3 days were not as much of a grind to get through. I think everyone should try a 7-day fast once in there life time to gain control over your mind. I am more patient (no snaking throughout the day) about food, and try to minimize the quick (unhealthy) food options. I now intermittent fast where I eat in a 2 hr window daily. If I have a social reason to indulge over the weekend, I will fast for 48 hrs prior to or after the indulgence. Then, go right back into my routine.

[@zergilli9719]

Interesting input. I had never considered a 7 day fast. The most I could do was 3 days. lol

[@elizabethkoenig5185]

Right now I am on day 9 of an 11 day fast (I usually just fast every other day). Day 3 on has especially been really easy.

I think you for educating the people. We have learned do much from you!

[@ZeeheCorporation]

The body use amino acid from muscles when you re fasting during neoglucogenosis, that's a fact. Glucose produce is used by glucose dependent organs such as brain. Thus, during fasting you use your glucose stock and fat stock, until a certain level of deprivation. Then your recycle your muscles.
