I read somewhere that fasting twice a week reduces bodyfat, increases libido, and doesn't make you lose that much muscle.Truth be told, I'm starting to think CICO is bullshit to an extent. Could one build muscle and lose fat while fasting? What has been your experience?
>>7573874148hours of fasting only reduce your glycogen stores if you're not already sub 10% bodyfat and do retarded 1000 reps on these days you should be safe.
>>75738741I always really liked the way Slavs decorated their house. It's nice
>>75738741Those cams look pretty fresh. Do you even operate?
>>75738741Wow. Dude is like me except with Hellenic altars and icons
>>75738741>I'm starting to think CICO is bullshit to an extent.Fasting is CICO though just with added expended energyIf you eat way more than you use you will still gain weight
>>75738741Simply research metabolic disease.It's no pseudo science.Fasting alongside cardio, and basic muscle maintenance is how you beat metabolic disease.It's a regulation of energy usage to provide advantage of numerous situations.Namely>teaching your body it's okay to go without food, body responds by not exaggeratively releasing hunger hormones every time you don't eat>train mitochondria to more efficiently convert energy during glucose depletion There are other advantages, but according to all studies they all vanish the moment the fast is broken. So they are extremely meme worthy.>muscle lossLiterally a fucking meme, your body will use muscle amino acid and tendon amino acid to>protect the stomach>protect the lungs>protect the brain>protect the heart>protect all other organsUnless you are fasting for a week or more you are not going to lose enough muscle mass for you to ever notice.You should not be fasting more than once a month (if multiple day fast) or more than once a week (if literal 24 hour fast).
>>75738741>Could one build muscle and lose fat while fasting? What has been your experience?my experience is going part-time frugivore with calorie restriction works better, keeps your blood sugar from crashing while still getting the effects of protein starvation.
I did fasting by accident when I was in college b/c I would consume only coffee and not eat anything for the days I have to cram for exams since I didn't know what fasting was at that time. One benefit it is it chisels your face by getting rid of the fat round checks, showing off that sharp jawline.
>>75738741>I'm starting to think CICO is bullshitCICO and "a calorie is a calorie" is all boomer pseudo-science. The only reason it could survive this long is that it was invented back in the age of mass media, where the TV was droning the messages approved by the ruling class ans nobody could hear it when a thinking person asked the question "but why are steroids a thing, then?"Your hormones determine your body composition. They regulate how much muscle mass and how much fat you put on, how much fat you burn, how much protein you break down, how much sugar you store in your cells, and so on. If it were different, taking steroids would not make sense, since all they really do is manipulate your hormones.You know what else you can do to manipulate your hormones, besides injecting steroids? Eat. Or decide to not eat. What you eat and when you eat it has a huge impact on your hormones.Eat sugar and you spike your blood sugar, which in turn will spike insulin, which makes your body store more fat.Fast, and you will lower insulin, which prompts your fat cells to release stored energy, and other hormones released during a fast will stimulate autophagy wherein your body breaks down defective tissue and burns it for fuel or uses it to create new healthy cells.
