Intermittent Fasting Conserves Muscle Mass - Check Out These Athletes!
7 years ago when my friend introduced me to a cleansing and intermittent fasting, my first response was that I would waste muscle by starving myself.
Boy was I wrong! Your body is AMAZING!!! When you reduce calories it conserves your muscle because your body knows you need it!
Studies show that after a period of intermittent fasting that fat mass decreased and fat free mass (muscle) remains the same. The fat mass went down because the body burns off fat for energy.
I’ve found this to be true for myself and many of my athlete friends. I was having a massage yesterday and the woman complimented that I had a lot of defined and powerful muscle, would probably maintain very strong bones in my old age and she could not believe I would be 49 on my next birthday.
In truth when I see pics of myself before I started intermittent fasting almost 8 years ago. I appear older then and more youthful now!
Intermittent fasting helps with insulin sensitivity, brain health, metabolism, healthy aging, energy, athletic performance, appetite control, digestive issues, targeting fat, releasing unwanted toxins and so much more.
Here’s my friend David in his 50th year. David practices intermittent fasting weekly.
My friend Angelike also practices intermittent fasting weekly! This mom of two is one of the most powerful and healthy women I know.
I hope this glimpse into intermittent fasting gave you a hunger to know more. I would love if you considered following an intermittent fasting plan for 30 days and see how much better you feel including lowered acidity, lowered inflammation, decreased fat on your body, better brain health and so much more. I and my team have coached over 12,000 people using the same intermittent system and support products David and Angelike use!
There is so much more than what I shared here. I'm sure you have questions! Feel free to reach out to me or leave a comment! I’d love to hear from you.
