Building muscle in a caloric deficit

[SheWantTheD]

LOL. Why would I lie about this? You guys are getting so mad about this its making me laugh now. You have been conditioned to think one way your entire life now that someone tells you there is another way to live you call him a liar.

Here is the scientific basis for how I can only eat once every 3 days and yet maintain enough energy to do whatever the average person who eats 3 times a day can do. Its very simple. My body goes into a state called KETOSIS. Ketosis is a state where the body shifts from using glucose (which comes from food) as its main fuel source and instead starts running on ketones (which are produced by the body when it starts using stored body fat for energy). The brain runs just as effectively (if not more) on ketones as it does on glucose. Same with the rest of the body. So you see my friend. I am not going around drained of energy for 3 days at a time. I have just as much energy as you or anyone else you who eats everyday. I just get my energy from ketones rather than glucose.

what if you have low body fat %? What happens then?

Sorry for the cap locks,

But

ONLY TWO THINGS BUILT ACTUAL MUSCLE TISSUE AND GROW THEM

Protein and Hormones,

No surprising you is building muscle while fasting. Also the biggest and leanest I got was eating one meal a day. The only reason I even eat twice a day or three sometime is for socialization and I eat when I bored and want to be entertained.

One of the bliss of life is working out fasted or drinking an espresso in the morning before pumping iron.

Look at all these replies and believers of modern science. This is the arrogance of man. In the nutritional world, physiological world and medical world, we know SO little about the human body. Anyone who tells you they KNOW or regurgitate what they heard has no clue.

You go to these so called doctors or PHD holders in nutrition and ask them what causes heart disease, the biggest killer in America, you will get a WIDE range of answers or they tell you they have no clue.

One big meal a day is a whole lot different than 1 meal every three days.

Stop playing games. You know what I mean. There was no time in the ancient past where people were eating everyday let alone 3 times a day. Life was tougher back then so our bodies had to be incredibly resilient to deal with the stress nature brought about. What I'm doing is simply activating the survival mechanisms that have been lying dormant in our bodies because we have become so soft as a species because of how easy life has become.

Just think of it this way. Nowadays the average person has to go to the gym and lift pieces of iron to get the lean muscular builds that our ancestors were able to get just by living. Our ancestors didn't have to life weights to get muscles cause they were living tough lives where they were lifting all types of shyt in nature that was stressing their muscles causing them to get stronger.

Stop being a soft bytch and fast like real men did in the past.

I am the original man, I eat when I’m hungry

A diet so easy a caveman can do it

Dude i know does 18 hour fasts n he said same thing as u

Fasting is remarkable. Its like the ultimate hack into our biology. It has no downsides. And all sorts of upsides.

Here are some of the benefits of fasting that I've discovered:

(1) Body fat is melting off my body like I'm Frosty the Snowman in the middle of summer.
(2) I don't get hungry anymore cause fasting suppresses the hunger hormone Ghrelin.
(3) I have more energy for great lifts at the gym.
(4) I can build muscle more effectively cause it boosts levels of growth hormone in the body.
(5) I can recover quicker from weight training cause it also boosts stem cell levels.
(6) I save money cause I eat less often.

I could keep going on when it comes to the benefits. And I honestly can't think of a single negative. Its the main reason why I keep saying this is a lifestyle to me and not just a fad diet. I will continue to fast for as long as I live. That's how much I love this new way I'm living.

By the way that's bro paleontology. You're really pulling this out of your ass. Early humans were scavengers who also relied on a large portion of their food coming from plants

No its not. The same principle applies. When you eat all your food in one sitting you activate the same hormonal changes. I just like to extend those benefits to the extreme (72 hours) so I can get the benefits of these hormonal changes to the max. But if you only fast every 24 hours you are still getting most of the same benefits (just to a lesser degree).

It runs vastly better on ketones, purest form of energy

The purest form of energy for our metabolism is literally glucose. The goal every biochemical pathway is to find a way to produce glucose.

Lemme guess a white man told you that so you believed him?

The only way humans could have developed the huge brains we currently have is by eating lots of meat. Our big brains consume so much of our caloric intake. Eating lots of plants is simply not efficient enough to power a brain as big as ours. We needed meat which packs way more nutritional value in a smaller bite. And the only way to get lots of meat is by hunting.

Stop believing these lying cacs who change their narrative every decade or so when it comes to every science. A few decades ago we were headed for an ice age. Now they're saying we're gonna melt the polar ice caps. A few decades ago it was man the hunter. Now cause vegan diets are popping off they wanna tell us early humans were predominantly plant eaters. Stop listening to these liars and use your own common sense. Our ancestors evolved in the plains of Africa where hundreds of species of large mammals roamed. You really think with all the gazelle, buffalo, and giraffe roaming around that our ancestors weren't getting busy and eating them muthafukkas? Lemme guess the white man told you black people couldn't hunt so you believed him?

You read a couple terms on the internet and for some reason you feel like you can run with it. Some of us actually took biochemistry in school and got tested on it.

And yes 1 meal a day is totally different than 1 meal every 3 days. Your liver will make sure of it. So much can happen in 48 hours.

If you been starving for 2 days and your liver sees some free floating protein best believe your liver is sparking gluconeogenesis and turning everything into glucose.

We don't even know if you're black.

You’re dehydrated if you’re not shytting

I shyt once or twice a week. What I meant in that post is I'm not laying big turds. Even though I'm eating lots of food on the days I do eat, I end up only shytting very small amounts. I attribute that to my body becoming more efficient in taking nutrients it will use out of the food I give it. Back when I was eating everyday I would lay a big shyt everyday. My body was not being efficient with how it utilized the food I was giving it because it knew it was gonna be refed every day. Now that my body has realized I'm not gonna feed it everyday it has adapted by becoming more efficient with the food I give it. So instead of discarding large amounts of the food I give it as waste it is now only discarding small amounts of the food I give it as waste.

Heres the thing. Fasting works, we all know this on a calories in vs calories out basis.

However, if you lost 30 lbs I can guarantee you that you lost a lot of muscle. You may have lost a significant amount of fat but you 100% lost muscle.

more than likely your glycogen stores have been depleted and when you ate, whether its from sodium, carbs, or a lack of water... your body just holding onto the water you put on 6 lbs of it.

i can vary 6 lbs on a day to day basis off simple things.

This is how kids in 3rd world countries do it

nikkas ate one meal a day and still went soccer training everyday

So you believe he added 6 pounds of lean muscle in two weeks?

No its the same cause it activates the same hormones. About 10-16 hours after you consume your last calorie you body will enter into ketosis and start using stored body fat as fuel. If someone is only fasting for 24 hours they are getting roughly 8-14 hours of fat burning. When someone extends that fast to 3 days they are just getting more fat burning using the same hormonal change (ketosis). You think its somehow different cause you have never experienced fasting induced ketosis. If you did you would know that when you're in ketosis there is no difference between fasting for 24 hours or 72 hours.

Your problem is you are trying to extend that feeling of hunger you experience over 24 hours versus 72 hours. This is your fallacy. When I'm fasting for 72 hours I am NEVER hungry. That is because when the body enters ketosis (which remember happens relatively quickly) the hunger hormone Ghrelin gets suppressed. So to me it doesn't matter if I'm fasting for 24 hours or 72 hours. Both feel the exact same. You are just making the assumption that it must feel different so fast for 24 hours versus 72 hours because you are using your own limited experience.
