I've experienced AMAZING benefits from fasting on a regular basis but I learned that sometimes you can take a good thing a little to far.
I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching!

Glad you are back on track. We are in our 70âs and boy it is true that we lose muscle really quickly without resistance training. In a bad accident and canât lift anything but 3# weights! Screwed up back,,,,so take care and keep your clarity around where you want to be!
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective and experience. I appreciate it and I appreciate your encouragement.
@@JTJaredTaylor please check out âPottengers Humansâ channel on fasting. Long term calorie restriction leads to muscle loss, BUT fasting does the opposite: it helps build muscle due to the huge growth hormone release during the fast, which helps build muscle tissue (as well as help rebuild your organs) after the fast. He shows all the long term human studies (not animal studies) which show this. The periodic fasting didnât do this, but the long term daily calorie (and nutrient) restriction from keto (less appetite) and OMAD and lack of strength training, all of it together, probably did. Hope that helps. Thanks for your videos!
Seems to me the real culprit was not exercising. Itâs more important as we age.
But itâs also true to gain muscle mass quickly, multiple meals and multiple workouts is optimal.
Agreed. I think if I had been focusing on strength training specifically it would likely have been a different outcome. Much more focused on it now. Thanks!
@@JTJaredTaylor thanks for sharing your journey with us.
JT I just want to thank you......I wasnt going to click into this videoBUT something told me too and I am so happy I didI am a subscriber to your channel but you do alot on NMN and other suplements etc I wasnt really interested in so I have skipped over BUT this one hit home...I am a 66 year old female who started intermittent fasting March of last year because I needed to lose at least 50 lbs and since recovering from spinal surgery I also had to start a slow routine with excercize I am 5 ft tall and weighed 170. My husband started the 18-6 fasting and went total keto low to no carb,no sugar was losing so I joined in well from March to today I have gone down to my high school weight of 120 fluctuating from 116 to 120 depends on the dayBUT have NO MUSCLE and I find myself eating less etc like you have just described not enough protein...etc I am truly upset and dont know what my next step should be....I am skin on bones and I listened as you described introducing some foods which would probably have the same effect of weight gain on me as wellI must add that I am and started this fasting keto journey because of inflamation and my Lupus my husband because of Kidney disease and needing extreme weight loss ...Can you make some suggestions on how I can get some/all my muscle back I do yoga twice a week and Qi Gong
Thank you JT sorry for the long message/comment God Bless-Julianna NC
Hi Julianna, Thanks for being a subscriber and thanks for watching! I'm so glad you found this video helpful. The first thing that comes to mind is to not be so hard on yourself. You have SO MUCH to celebrate!! You've made such AMAZING changes! You deserve to put a smile on your face and be pleased with what you've done. WOW. So many people think about it, but few actually commit to making changes. You are one of the few! GOOD JOB!
Now with that in mind think about this as small steps. Just like you did when you wanted to lose the weight. You took one step at a time and made progress a little at a time. That's how this will be, moving forward to your new goal of building a little muscle.
Like you, keto and intermittent fasting changed my life in such a dramatic way I could hardly believe it. It has been amazing and I will always be grateful. I have learned over the years that keto and fasting are good principals to follow for specific reasons. There are also OTHER good healthy principles that you can follow. So don't feel like keto and fasting are the ONLY things that can be beneficial. And don't let someone shame you if you decide to start eating foods that are not considered part of a ketogenic diet. You have new goals now. And new goals require a new approach.
So with that said, I would recommend gradually increasing your eating window. If you're doing 8hrs maybe make that 10hrs or even 11 or 12. Next, consider adding in some carbs. Start with one portion of carbs per day. (about the size of your closed fist) What I mean is add a portion of carbs to one meal. This could be sweet potato, brown rice or some fruit that you wouldn't normally eat on keto. Do this for a while and see what happens. Maybe 3 weeks and see how you feel or if you start to gain weight.
Keep in mind if you have been avoiding certain foods for quite a long time your body may need to adjust to eating them again. Your body will need to develop the enzymes needed for proper digestion. In the beginning you may notice some gut discomfort. That should go away after a week or so.
The other thing to consider is simply adding an additional meal during your eating window. If you are currently doing less than 3 meals per day. See if that helps.
If you want to "get muscle back" the VERY BEST way will be to add in resistance training of some kind. Yoga is great but may not be enough. I would highly recommend that you consider going to a gym and getting a personal trainer. (if you aren't familiar with basic resistance training or weight training exercises) Work with them for about 90 days and then decide if you feel comfortable doing it on your own or if you want to keep working with them. Make sure they have experience working with people over 50. If not, I would recommend finding someone else to help you. NOTE I'm not saying you shouldn't do yoga but suggesting that you ADD weight training.
I know weight training / resistance training can be intimidating but other people do it. And they all had to start from the beginning too. They did it and you can too.
As part of your diet, you will want to be sure to increase your protein intake. As we age our body is less efficient at processing protein into muscle. (muscle protein synthesis) so we need more protein to build muscle than we did when younger. Dr Peter Attia (specializes in longevity) suggests two grams per kilogram of body weight per day. So a body weight of 120lbs is about 54.4 kilos. You would multiply that by 2 which means you'd want to strive for about 108 grams of protein per day. This includes all forms of protein from any food source. IF you have trouble getting all your protein in, you can consider including a protein shake. Try to find one that as ZERO added sugars.
Finally be patient and give yourself some grace. As we get older it's harder to gain muscle but NOT impossible.
I hope this helps. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
@@JTJaredTaylor Thank you so much JT for your in depth response I truly appreciate everything you said and I do celebrate what I have done and will take ALL your advice and slowly try all and incorporate your suggestions and recommendations and let you know how it goes again Thank you so much and God Bless you I'll be in touch and let you know
Julianna
@@ernajuliannaprimo9745 You're very welcome. I hope it helps. Good luck to you!
I started fasting since im overweight, but I exercise 1 hour / day, drink whey protein and take a multivitamin..... Feel fine.
Awesome! Fasting has actually been incredible for me I just got carried away. I think if I had been focusing on strength training the whole time I would have had a different experience. I'm not throwing it out altogether just changing my approach. Thanks for sharing your own experience. Glad you're feeling good.
What supplements reduce hunger? Ghrelin? Thanksâ€
Thats a hormone not a supplement
Just curious, what do you eat on a typical day? Could you make a video?
+1.0
What are the macro's of you meals after the 'correction', please? Thank you!
Itâs really hard to know what supplements to take and what to stick with not knowing what we need to know to proceed. We watch all these various videos on our health and well being, we follow some of them then boom you get a bad test result because you followed one of them. My culprit seems to be MCT oil. Five months into taking this supplement and my triglycerides, cholesterol, potassium and co2 have gone crazy. So while doing all of this itâs good to have all levels checked regularly! Hope your on your way to strength training in a positive direction!
Hey! Sorry for not responding sooner. I'll try to list what a typical day looks like here. Yes, I plan to make a video. Thanks for asking!
Breakfast:
Lately has been what I call my SUPER Shake.
About 4-5 cups raw organic spinach loosely packed. (meaning not pressed down to fit more) just a few very large handfuls. I sometimes alternate with kale and rarely organic mixed greens. 32 ounces of water. 2-3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil. One full cup organic blue berries, or mixed berries (when keto I was only doing about 1/4 cup). 1/2 to 1 tbsp ground flax meal. A pinch of pink Himalayan salt (I recently stopped doing this) 1 tbsp monk fruit. After blending I add 10 grams of collagen powder and 25 grams of whey protein (recently I bumped this up to 50 grams), and 5 grams of creatine. (I don't always put creatine in this shake but I always take 5 grams of creatine every day). Blend it again and I'm good to go.
I add the collagen and protein at the end after everything else is thoroughly blended because adding it early on tends to make the shake very foaming which I don't like. Too much air.
I drink this shake every day. Often it's for breakfast but sometimes it's lunch. I've only had it for dinner on rare occasions.
Lunch:
Can be 1. 4 eggs a slice of cheese (usually Brie or Manchego) and a handful of berries. (this was a common meal when doing keto) 2. 4 eggs and 1 sweet potato. (obviously not keto) 3. Deconstructed burger 1 or 2 burger patties a pile of romaine lettuce, sometimes cheese, dill pickles, a few slices of onion, mustard. Sometimes tomato and sometimes half an avocado (If I have one). Sometimes mushrooms. NO bun. 4. The above shake. 5. A stir fry of some kind with lots of veggies and some kind of animal protein. 6. A palm sized peace of grilled steak or chicken and the rest of the plate full of steamed veggies. Usually broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Sometimes mushrooms. 6. A can of sardines and a salad.
Dinner:
Any of the above mentioned meals but very often number 5 or 6.
In addition. I usually eat one handful of nuts per day. Usually pistachios or walnuts. Sometimes almonds but rarely. I also eat a little bit of dark chocolate nearly every day.
I have been experimenting lately with eating more fruit such as bananas, mangos and apples. I've also started including more plant based protein foods like lentils, beans and quinoa.
I'm also planning to add in more fish. Just eat it more frequently.
I think that's about it. I hope that answers your question and at least gives you a general idea of what I eat on a regular basis.
@@JTJaredTaylor Thanks for responding.
@@user-ou3ro4ik9d Hi, please see my reply to the above comment. The great thing about doing keto is that you don't really need to track macros. You just make sure your carbs are low enough. That said I'm not doing keto like I used to. I've been experimenting with adding in other foods and may start tracking macros at some point and maybe even calories. I hate getting that granular but I might start. Just haven't yet. Thanks for asking and thanks for watching.
Why didn t you try doing exercise?
Great question. I was exercising extensively the entire time. But focusing on running. Once I realized how weak I was I started to focus more on strength training. That said, if I had been focusing on it the entire time I may not have lost so much muscle mass.
@@JTJaredTaylor in fact now you said it, I remember a guy who told me he had lost muscle, only running! without doing fasting as far as I know.
I think I may have lost some muscle because of the fasting, and of course like you I lost many fat.
Great channel by the way, I like and thank channels like these, relating personal opinions and effects.
@@untio Yeah running can do it, especially if you are fasting. Thank you so much for watching and thank you sincerely for your comment. I really appreciate it.
