    How to Build Muscle with Fasting | The Ultimate Guide - Thomas DeLauer
    1) Fasting & Catecholamine Response
    Fasting increases catecholamines, which burn fat through the activation of HSL and Perilipin, and increase blood flow to muscles
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
    2) High mTOR when Breaking Fast/Insulin & mTOR
    Per a study in the journal Nutrients, “a postprandial increase of insulin and glucose acutely activates mTOR within metabolic tissues”
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
    3) Foods that Boost mTOR
    A study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise demonstrated in humans that ingesting essential amino acids shortly after working out increased mTOR activity
    Elevated protein synthesis from a workout occurs 1 hour after exercise and can continue 24-48 hours after
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
    A study published in the journal Clinical Science looked at 9 healthy participants, age 25-45, who led a sedentary lifestyle that supplemented with 4 grams of DHA and EPA daily for an 8-week period
    The pathways which regulate protein synthesis (mTORSer2448 and p70s6kThr389) increased by roughly 50% (50% more active in the presence of higher omega-3 fatty acid levels)
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
    4) Sodium, Fructose & Glucose for Enhanced Carb Absorption
    Study - The British Journal of Nutrition
    The ingestion of glucose:fructose was at an average rate of 2.4 g/min resulted in 65% greater oxidation than glucose only and very high peak oxidation rates of 1.75 g/min were reached
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
    5) Fasting & Mitochondrial Density
    To increase mitochondrial density you have to upregulate the expression of AMPK (for mitochondrial biogenesis) and force your body to improve its functioning
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
    6) Training at the end of your fast - P70S6K
    A study from the European Journal of Applied Physiology had subjects split into two groups that were trained on two occasions separated by three weeks - one of the sessions was performed on an empty stomach after an overnight fast
    Found: Increased p70s6k phosphorylation during intake of a protein-carb drink following resistance exercise in the fasted state - fasted training group saw a bigger increase in p70s6k
    link.springer.com/article/10....
    7) MCT Oil at Night - Thermogenic Effect
    Allocate MCT oil towards the end of your eating window to get more of a catecholamine response before bed
    Study - European Journal of Clinical Nutrition
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8...
    8) Caffeine & Glycogen Loading
    Caffeine (combined with carbohydrates) following exercise can help refill muscle glycogen faster than carbs alone
    Study - Journal of Applied Physiology
    www.physiology.org/doi/full/1...
    9) Grass-finished Meat
    Animals that are fed green grass also store more vitamin A in their livers, which is why grass-finished beef is higher in beta carotene - the precursor to vitamin A
    Vitamin A is useful because it supports protein synthesis - Vitamin A levels decrease as protein synthesis increases
    www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6...

      I have done intermittent fasting before with good success. However, if I am weight training and trying to build muscle and say I need to eat 1,800 calories per day, do I need to fit all 1,800 calories into my eating window no matter how small that window is?

    Let me save you 20 minutes:
    1. Workout hard and in a fasted state
    2. Break your fast right after finishing your workout
    3. When breaking your fast, stick to lean protein, small amounts of lean carbs, a source of fructose (ie. an orange), and Omega 3

    Dude, your videos are great. I struggled with type 2 diabetes control for 3 years now. I followed the suggested dieting plan given to my by my doctor, took the medication and still was unable to control my blood sugar and my diabetes kept getting worse. About 6 months ago I invested in a home gym, started watching your videos and switched to a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting on a 16/8. My diabetes is now in remission, I've lost 60 lbs, and I no longer need medication. I just wanted to thank you for your content. I started this journey at 420 lbs. Now I'm halfway to my goal weight of 300 lbs.

I also am wondering if you experienced any issues with your lifestyle transition initially and what your doctor might have said to you about switching your lifestyle gears in the way you did.

    Intermittent fasting and prolonged fasting literally saved my life. I am 47 and look at my avatar. I am no huge bodybuilder, but I am strong and healthy. It takes a while to get used to the idea of not eating. I am addicted to it. I eat anywhere from 3-8 hours a day. I try to hit 18/6 most days and then I love to do a 48 hr or 72 hr fast at the end of the month. MTor is indirectly proportionate to longevity. I battle with wanting to be big and strong and wanting to live a long life. I am slowly turning towards longevity. The things that happen in your body when you don’t give it food is almost magical. It can heal just about anything.

I’ve been fasting for 10 months now and it’s changed my life! I’m finding out that a protein shake mixed with oatmeal water ice, blueberries has been a great fast breaker for me!

    @davidbakino617 4 роки тому +46

    WARNING : Fish oil/Omega 3 taken RIGHT AFTER workout will BLUNT muscle growth to some extent (even if it does increase protein synthesis). The reason is because Omega 3 are a potent anti-inflammatory (especially in the doses suggested in the video : 2-4g). And that inflammation that occurs during about 1h after your workout is a REQUIREMENT for your body to start kicking off the muscle growth response. So taking Omega 3 right at that same moment will reduce that inflammation post-workout and thus hinder the muscle growth adaptation response occuring in the next 24-48h. So waiting about 1h after your workout before taking your omega 3 (along with protein, glucose, fructose, salt) is a safer bet. Don't worry, studies have shown it doesn't make a difference to delay your post-workout meal. In fact, your absorption of it will probably be better since after that time, your blood will have "left" your muscles and gone back to your core and organs to allow for optimal digestion

    I just started a second job and up until recently I thought that meant I would have to cut back on either fasting days, or workouts.
    This video gave me the knowledge that motivated me to develop a plan, and the reassurance that what I was doing was safe (which I needed before I tried something that sounds so crazy)!
    I'm 23:1 fasting, working 13 hour days, and still have enough energy to push myself without injury. Never thought working out in fasted state was even healthy, let alone beneficial 😅
    I should mention it took cutting out an energy supplement that I "thought" was helping me get through the day and worth breaking my fast for.
    Once I was on a complete fast (Black Coffee + H20), it fell into place.
    Post workout meal hitting all the bases as you state in this video, trying to keep fats to a minimum. Supplement routine during meal, and consumption in under 30 minutes.
    Can't give enough praise for this video! I have renewed hope for my gains 😎

    i gained about 30kgs on my leg max lifts in about 3 months (from 125kg to 155kg squat), and about 10/15 on my arm lifts (standing shoulder press, bench). Eating only at dinner time, and training before dinner, for about 4 hours. But I did also gain about 18kg in body weight, because I was eating and drinking like an animal. For about a month straight I also drank a couple bottles of wine or more (holidays back home) every single day. Still gained. So basically, I gained just as much, if not even more, as when years ago I would eat every 2 hours. The main variable I see in gaining strength, is eating in a surplus, regardless of the timing. Sometimes I even ate hours after the workout, not bothering with bringing anything with me to eat right after workouts. Having tried quite a few different methods, I always seem to be mostly correlated with overall calorie intake. If I eat like animal, I gain strength, and that's even if i binge drink day after day for a month. One very nice thing with training fasted and doing a 20/4, or similar, is that i'm not hungry nor do i have cravings during my workouts.

I've been searching for days for an answer to my question about when during a fast to exercise, what changes occur in the body, etc. Although we were aiming at a slightly different targets, you covered it all here. Thanks!

    Excellent! I've been looking for exactly this kind of information and your presentation is 100% complete. Been doing 16:8 IF with noon till 8PM feeding window, but I think I'm going to shift that to breakfast to late lunch refeeding in order to adopt your programming. Thomas, you are the best synthesizer of diverse health and fitness information on YT!!

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 🏋️ *Strategic timing and understanding body mechanisms are crucial for building muscle while intermittent fasting.*
    01:25 ⏰ *Training in a fasted state can leverage catecholamines, aiding in fat burning while preserving muscle.*
    03:19 💪 *Utilize mTOR activation strategically by timing workouts near the end of fasting periods to optimize muscle-building potential.*
    05:39 🥩 *Lean proteins, specifically rich in leucine, spike mTOR levels, crucial for muscle synthesis during intermittent fasting.*
    07:47 🐟 *Adding a small amount of Omega-3s before breaking a fast can significantly increase protein synthesis for muscle building.*
    09:23 🍚 *Timing specific carbohydrates post-workout with salt, glucose, and fructose can optimize absorption for insulin spikes and muscle building.*
    12:25 ⏱️ *Training in a fasted state elevates mitochondrial density over time, enhancing overall strength and muscle mass.*
    15:28 🌿 *Consuming MCT oil before bed can increase resting energy expenditure, aiding fat burning during sleep.*
    16:10 🍽️ *Consider adjusting fasting periods to align with workout times, enabling strategic caffeine use post-morning workouts for increased glycogen uptake.*

    Love you videos! Could you please clarify something? In another video you talk about it not being crucial to eat protein immediately after working out, and that it’s actually better to wait because protein synthesis is much greater hours after finishing a work out. In this video you mention that is better to work out at the end of your fast. which is better for losing weight and bulding muscle?

    This sounds to be going back to how I imagine we've evolved - going for a period without food until we find something to hunt or catch which may require us to run after it (working out) after which we'd feast on and load up until get to repeat the process.

    2. Break this fast with small meal of....
    Glucose ( Fast digesting 30g - 40g )
    Fructose ( 15g )
    High Quality Salt ( 1/4 - 1/2 TSP )
    Lean Protein
    Omega-3s ( 2g - 4g )
    Add a little caffeine with post workout/fast meal for additional benefit.

      Or work out between meals. You might actually perform better that way. Whichever way is more convenient and sustainable for you. Also, nitpicking about glucose, fructose, salt, etc. is just pointless. Don't make life too complicated when it's not necessary.

    To replenish glycogen stores - A good carbohydrate food for your post workout meal requires, 3 things, low in fructose, high insulin index, high in glucose. Best food carbs - Apricots, kiwi’s, pineapple, white rice with maple syrup, rice cakes with jam.
    Just my opinion from 20 yrs of training.

  • @LLee0

    How to build muscle with fasting:
    1. Workout before breakfast (in a fasted state)
    2. Break your fast immediately after workout
    3. Stick to
    - lean protein
    - 30 - 40 g of carbs with 15 - 20 g of fructose (e.g. fruits)
    - 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of salt (speed up carb absorption)
    - a little bit of caffeine (speed up carb absorption)
    - 2 - 4 g of Omega 3 (helps protein synthesis)
