The underappreciated role of muscle in health and disease

The best time to build muscle is right now

Building muscle mass applies many passive buffs to your life that go beyond just being strong

More muscle = greater resistance to illness/starvation/death
Protein intake's primary purpose is repletion of lost amino acids during a period of fasting.

Again why I don't care for +24hr fasts, and why meals need to be protein rich

Patients with insufficient muscle had greater risk of death due to insufficient reserves of muscle

hey guys I got this perfect diet

The food is dependent on importing food from several states/countries over, because the food is not always seasonally available

Oh, and it requires a complicated, carefully researched series of supplements to not get mal-nurishment..supposedly
Oh and this diet has never been practiced by humans throughout our entire existence in any civilization in history, but it's totally the optimal way to eat

Oh and it can get expensive because of all the specialized products you need to maintain it
This diet is so perfect we should make everyone do it, even if they don't like it or find the evidence stated for it kinda shaky.

We know better, we should do the thinking for them. Because every other way of eating is literally murder (hell lets compare it fascism)

"There's no evidence for fasting, and its just another fad diet/religion. Just do CICO instead.""

Sigh, fine. You asked for it. Flood gates are open.

Fasting Data thread:

#IntermittentFasting #fasting
In 1973, an obese man fasted 382 days, only taking water, coffee and tea with vitamins and medical supervision.

Noted effects of the Fasting experiment:
-125kg of weight loss
-Symptom free
-No complaints of hunger
-Weight did not come back on

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Growth Hormone (GH) increases to sustain muscle mass during fasting period. As long as you have sufficient fat stores, protein oxidation stays low.

GH also increases fat oxidation, which is perfect for bodyfat loss

Data from 1957

big shock, Diabetics are prone to B12 deficiency

key variable in B12D with Diabetics is Metformin due to various inhibiting factors interfere with B12 absorption

Calcium is required and supplementation is suggestion.

vegan diet is a 5 year ticking time bomb

Case report finds that standard B12 supplements might NOT be reliable either.

Healthy B12 readings found that patient was still deficient.
Condition reversed when additional B12 was administered

Caution is urged to vegans thinking they're getting enough
