Fasting and Protein Intake for Muscle Building

Importantly, if you're low in skeletal muscle to begin with, it can be difficult to get the ideal protein intake that you need if you're fasting. And if you're fasting, you're not activating something called mtor. And you need MTOR activated to build muscle. And you need muscle to burn fat, improve insulin sensitivity, and have a better metabolism. So you want to have fasting as a tool in your nutrition toolbox to help with quickly restoring insulin sensitivity and therefore better blood sugar balance, and to support deep cellular detox and kick up that bdnf, the growth hormone and stem cell production. And then you want to alternate it with building cycles so that you can make sure that you're supporting your skeletal muscle mass as well as.
