In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about intermittent fasting, autophagy, and your muscles. Autophagy is the state you can get into when you do intermittent fasting - where the body is recycling old damaged proteins. It gives the body a catabolic effect or a breakdown of something. Benefits of Autophagy • Anti-aging • Longevity • Better Immune System • Decrease Inflammation When you don’t want to lose muscle mass while doing intermittent fasting, add strength training as a part of your workout. Loading up muscle to recruit as many muscle fibers as you can. 1. Go heavyweight with a lower amount of reps 2. Go moderate amount of weight to failure Or you can do a combination of both. These two actions can create a hypertrophy effect on the muscle which can keep them bigger and prevent them from shrinking when you are doing intermittent fasting.
