I've been fasting since I was 19 & read the book, Fasting The Ultimate Diet, by Allan Cott. Now I'm 60 & people say I look 40! Amen

Muscle wasting is so hard to happen in the first place. A patient needs to be in bed for weeks with inadequate nutrition to have atrophy. I'm noting a lot of bro science youtubers are making it seem as though this happens in the span of hours. It just gets everyone anxious and misinformed.

Nothing better than a cup of coffee and going for a steep walk fasted, after say 30mn there is like an injection of pure happiness, this lighten the backpack. And suddenly the scenery looks better, the wind is sweeter, the birds sing more, etc. Eating a breakfast in the morning is probably bad; my instinct says.

I never got ripped up until I started fasting. Traditional bodybuilding diet works but it sucks!

I water fasted for 18 days and almost immediately was back to lifting the same weight as before the fast so I don’t think I lost muscle 💪🏼

I lost 70lbs doing exactly what you are saying. Once I added resistance training while fasting I put on lean muscle and it completely changed my physique. One of the best decisions I've ever made!

I just finished a 7 day fast and weight trained 5 of 7 of those days back to back. My arm particularly grew in cm.<br>Someone said I lost muscle, I laughed.

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!

I started fasting every other day 2 weeks ago and have already had a drop in blood glucose and have had to tighten my bra strap around my torso 2 notches. So happy with this method. Thank you Dr. Fung!
