    4:38 A few things that can slow down muscle gain
    In this video, we’re going to talk about intermittent fasting and muscle mass. Can you gain muscle while fasting? Let’s say you want the benefits of intermittent fasting, but you also want to gain muscle, how can you do that? Well, there are several factors in play here.
    Sometimes people think they need to spike insulin to gain muscle mass. They load up on carbs because carbs trigger insulin, and insulin is an anabolic hormone. But, when you stimulate insulin too much, you create insulin resistance. If you have insulin resistance, you can’t absorb protein or amino acids that well.
    What to do to help gain muscle mass:
    1. Do 2 meals a day (do intermittent fasting for at least 16 hours)
    2. Get enough exercise
    3. Don’t go over 50g of carbs (if you’re younger, you may be able to go up to 70g)
    4. Consume 6-8 oz. of complete protein per meal (egg and fish are good)
    5. Get your nutrients (calcium, B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin D, potassium)
    A few things that can slow down muscle gain or cause muscle loss:
    1. Cortisol
    2. Long fasts (72 hours)
    3. Insomnia

    I started 16/8 IF Nov 2018. I went from 175 to 153lb and put on 7-8 lbs of muscle so far. Only down side is that my wife thinks I am cheating on her.

      Tell her it's to please her, to be more physically attractive to her, on top of being healthier, and thus, raising the whole family's quality of life (as emotions tend to always spread to close relatives given enough time or intensity).
      if you have kids, tell her that it's so you can be healthy and grow old enough to see your grandchildren (or grand-grand children).

      Involve your wife in what you're doing. Get her on the 8 hour eating window with you, then try to prepare your meals and eat your meals TOGETHER. Even share in the grocery shopping and choosing the foods you'll buy for the meals. Then most importantly, be affectionate to her. Hug on her, smooches on the lips, holding her hand or putting your arm around her sometimes. I hope you get the picture. It sounds like she's just not feeling special to you as you become more attractive with your life style change... and you might not realize just how much love she has in her heart for you. I think she's just feeling left out or not inclusive in your new life style. Keep talking to her. I'm praying that things will work out for you. When most of what you see everywhere is divorce OR wild out of control singles in many short relationships, and plenty of hurting children being brought into the world then they grow up in the ugliness that's the result of the brokenness of relationships... (you see what I'm saying), it makes me want to pray for marriages... even when I don't know the people.😊 TRUE LOVE AND COMMITMENT has just fallen by the wayside SO it's not enough to just "tell her" you're not cheating... show her too. I said all of that to say... I'm praying for you and hope things work out with your wife.
      FYI... since this was not a marriage counseling video😂😂, I just want to throw in that Dr Berg always post some pretty good information in these videos.😂😂
      Blessings everyone!

    Dr Berg, I have gone through an amazing journey over the past few years.
    I'm an ex rugby player, 196 cm tall and I weighed 108kg.
    Since 2008, I've had:
    Knee operation
    Shoulder operation
    Appendix removed
    Compartment syndrome operations, TWICE
    Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome operation, crazy recovery period!
    I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, ontop of having 2 discs completely crushed over the years of different sports, which lead to a back fusion I had a year and a half ago.
    I couldn't exercise for years leading up to my back fusion, and I had chronic pain in my back. I weighed 103kg, with lost muscle and more fat.
    Just before my back fusion I started doing fasting and low carb.
    Fast forward to now, my gut bacteria completely fixed and my spondylitis symptoms are completely gone! My back fusion is a massive success and I feel great weighing 95kg with a 6 pack and great body composition.
    I would thank you and Thomas de Lauer for my success.
    I haven't posted anything like this before, sharing my story.
    It's greatly appreciated!

      Nick JvR: I am 60 and have been through a bit myself but with the help of people like Dr. Berg, I feel better now than when I was in my 30's. I'm now doing weight training and OMAD. No breakfast, No lunch, just tea (dinner) at 6pm. I have a normal meal but then an hour later I have a high nutritious yummy Kale Smoothie. As I've workout before in the 70's, First time I started back with weights I could feel that love of pumped muscle I never had in years. A great feeling.

    I let myself go for the past few years and was looking a little chubby and I started intermittent fasting following this channel's advice and lost so much weight! My clothes fit how they used to and now I'm back to my slim self again and my aunts aren't commenting on my weight anymore at family functions lol. Anyways now I want to step it up and start gaining muscle and look more toned and less soft/skinny-fat so I will follow this as well. đŸ’ȘHopefully it will help me again. I definitely need to better my sleep schedule since it's all out of whack and adjust some stuff here and there so thank you for this video! Now I can be more efficient 😁. And yes there are times when you fall off and get off track I've been there but NEVER GIVE UP and don't let that discourage you from your goal. You have to dust yourself off and pick up where you left off as if it never happened and you WILL see the results. It's not always going to be a straight line to the goal but that's with anything. What matters is your patience to get to the end goal and you'll get there before you know it. Just keep your eyes on the ball! 😁 Thank you so much for everything. I was on a plateau for the longest time and I never believed I could get back to my high school weight again but I saw that I can and now I bet I can gain muscle and get into even better shape than before! If I could do it ( gluttonous ), I know whoever is reading this can too 😁.

      @TheENofficial In an 8-week trial, researchers split 34 men who were experienced in weight training into two groups and both groups were assigned the same amount of calories and protein per day. The groups only differed in the meal timing. One group performed intermittent fasting with an 8-hrs eating window, while the second group followed a normal diet with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
      By the end of the study, neither group had lost lean mass or strength. However, the time-restricted group lost on average 1.6 kg of fat, while there was no significant fat loss in the normal diet group.
      -> more fat loss without extra loss in lean muscle mass.

  • @alphacause
    @alphacause Pƙed 4 lety +23

    Thank Dr. Berg for this video. The problem with much of the advise concerning muscle and strength gains is that it comes from the professional bodybuilding community. While there maybe a kernel of truth to much of the nutritional advise that they dispense, it really only applies to their community and not to the general public. I could be wrong about this, but this is where the notion of carb loading for muscle hypertrophy comes from. Given the high volume of exercise that the professional bodybuilding requires, along with the copious amount of performance enhancing drugs they incorporate, that extreme lifestyle necessitates high carb intake so as to elevate insulin levels to maximize muscle protein synthesis. That is partly why, for decades, people have been duped by this notion that they must eat 6 times a day, and specifically time carb intake around workouts. While this works for a bodybuilder doing grueling workouts that most people won't do, and such a dietary pattern is required for THEM to maximize the benefit of performance enhancing drugs, such advise, when extrapolated to the general population, only serves to make us insulin resistant and fat. It would be like saying that because jet fuel works well to propel a fighter jet to Mach 2, therefore, if you put jet fuel in your Honda Civic it too can reach Mach 2.

I am overweight, but felt much stronger eating carbs and like my muscles were growing. I really want to enjoy the benefits of fasting, but really hope I will overcome this phase.

    From personal experience (been lifting weights in the strength category for 14 years now), if you do a long fast (72 hrs.) you probably can perform normally in the strength category (6 reps or less at 85-100% of your 1 rep max) on your first workout within 24 hrs. After 24 hrs., your strength will likely go down quite a bit and sure the resistance training will help produce growth hormone to prevent muscle loss and I was taking a multivitamin and getting plenty of sleep, but you will most likely not perform normally in the strength category after your first workout. Intermittent fasting, as least for me, works fine to still build strength as long as I have a meal to refuel.
