Part 3
Myth 1 – Fasting burns muscle.
When there is extra energy, you build glycogen
When there is low energy you burn glycogen (not muscle)
“Fat Adaptation” is build fat burning mitochondria
There is normal protein turnover throughout the day
And there may be more protein turnover for a few days while you adjust to fat burning.
You can put protein in the digestive tract for a couple of days if you are concerned about this. Use Lean and green food preparation if you’re concerned or worried
But quit trying to play God with biochemistry you don’t know what you’re talking about
guaranteed
almost no matter who you are, especially with respect to any unique individual.
We’re talking 3 to 10 day fasts here
not the 18 hour or 12 hour Ramadan
set your machinery in motion, set up your machinery with smaller fasts,
but then go for the longer fast.
Become ‘fat adapted’ have your metabolism set up to burn fat for energy
And you will have huge amounts of energy for your muscles to use
