Fasted Exercise Doesn’t Help w/ Fat Loss: Fitness Advice That Gets Results | Erika Gasztonyi 

She's clearly not enhanced

​@@luxurybuzz3681bro I don't know what to tell you

It works for everyone, people just choose to keep eating a diet that causes more inflammation

It's the good ol' carb loading. I mean, like, I don't find it makes a difference unless you've just fasted for like 3 days, which I don't recommend if you're trying to build muscle..

Carbs for fuel is indeed nonsense

there was a video of this guy who ran 5 marathons on 5 days straight, fasted. So yeah, we have plenty of stored energy if our body just has access to it

Why should humans be different? Because we are very, very different than animals. Animals don’t cook their food, for example.

@@lmlm_ -- Our metabolism is NOT very, very different from animals. Cooking food makes plant nutrients more bioavailable; it doesn't change out nutrient requirement. Cooking makes animal products taste better. Also, cooking kills pathogens; it doesn't change our nutrient requirements. What is very, very different from animals is our mental capabilities.

I agree- when I eat I am tired. The body uses so much energy to digest.. I don’t understand how this is correct

It's funny how people don't listen and don't pay attention and think that everything is supposed to apply to everyone 🤦 the idea is that having carbohydrates, as well as some protein, is going to HELP you optimize your training. It isn't to give you the ability to do anything, it's just for optimization of performance. I do fasted training 6 days a week (one strength day 2 power days and three rotational days (I do cardio on those rotational days where the one day I go running I will eat honey before I go just to prevent any tickles in my throat) but when it comes to strength days for the legs, I definitely eat before I train just so I can last the duration (3-4). For your information, you shouldn't be so close-minded because you might learn something valuable. Also, we are not like animals, yes there are similarities but we are a completely different creation which does give us the ability to learn from animals, but there's no reason for us to copy them. That is silly

@@Somebodysomewheresometime try going for a walk after you eat. If you don't have healthy muscles, and you feel tired after you eat, that's because you're glycogen stores in your liver are full and your body isn't storing the rest in the muscles, which might even lead to some fat around your organs if you don't have fat around your waist

Same here.

Yes. And also some of us can't bulk up. I was in the gym for years for. Like 2 hours a day. Fueled up properly and just could not bulk up, even though I lifted heavy for my size. I ended up being ok with whatever I looked like.

It also depends on your glycogan stores, if I do fasted training, it is only when I had a big dinner with good amount of carbs the day before

Have you seen her abs? She is

My guy, its from the massive stack of PEDs shes on.

The training routine matters. If someone is training like a maniac and burning a lot of calories then the body will require more fuel/calories.

@@craigkincheloe7779exactly 1400 calories is too low if you do hard training

no proof

I know LOTS of people who exercise who have plenty of intramuscular fat LOL

Intramuscular fat is not visceral fat.@@77dris

There is a scientific paper showing MRI image of healthy thigh muscle and unhealthy Type 2 diabetic one. You can find it online.@@telesniper2

Our livers makes glucose so I wouldn’t worry too much about no replenishing glycogen;)

Chiming in to add that that body fat percentage for menstruation is definitely different for everyone! also relative amounts of various nutrients/hormones also at play

It works for everyone because that's how our metabolism is designed

@@Cenot4ph My body is running on ketones mainly not carbs since I rarely eat any carbs. When I was carb centric and tried to workout hard Id feel weak and sometimes ick to my stomach

Hi good man! I've shared that on other videos but this is my latest eCourse that dive deeper into the details: bit.ly/glute-masterclass

Her diet is terrible for one

She sure is … easy to see that .

What is on gear mean?

@@pepesmama7515 PEDs (performance enhancing drugs, like steroids)

​@@pepesmama7515anabolic steroids

it won't happen to almost any woman who isn't taking PEDs

If you struggle with sleep, eat one meal a day of bananas, like a whole hand of them. Minimum 800 cals worth. I’m serious. And you are right, I am fruit based eater with some meat at dinner and my pms is mostly painless and not too heavy besides day 2 which is the worst day as far as flow. More carbs equal better sleep. I stick to fruit, white rice and sweet potato.

​@@tropicaopticasleep and hyperglycemic coma aren't the same. :^l

@@mikafoxx2717 I don’t have hyperglycemia, and been doing this 13 years. I get regular blood work. There is a lot of magnesium in a meal of bananas. Still, after the meal I have energy, I just sleep really well later that night. I would open your mind. Also, my metabolism isn’t all effed up and my insulin response is excellent because my bloodstream isn’t clogged up with fat, that that makes a difference in my ability to use tropical fruit meals as a main calorie source during the day. Like 1500-2000 cals of fruit. I should be in the hospital according to you 🤣

Unfortunately I wasn't really asking for general advice from anyone in this comment section about sleep. I only brought it up because the interview between Erika and Mike didn't really touch on sleep. Personally I am on a very specialized keto-biotic cyclical diet for epilepsy. Incidentally my epilepsy began when I was a "fruit-based" eater. A person can't get enough b12 or iron, glycine, creatine or carnitine on a diet of mostly fruit, These are extremely important for the brain. My questions about sleep have to do with the fact that I have two rare neurological disorders that are both affected by hormones. I am more than skeptical of the neurological effect of diets that are based around fruit especially mono-meal diets. There is no evidence that more "carbs equals better sleep" for people with mitochondrial dysfunction and I don't think its right to tout this advice to others unless you can share concrete evidence with a randomized selection of women with epilepsy who have found the same. Also, no where in our past did we have access to white rice or seedless bananas in the quantity that people are eating of carbs today.

@@lostieaddict what in gods name could be wrong with eating a meal of banana or mango for a human being. Sure, when I started out a raw food diet back when I was a raw vegan, I ate lots of nuts, seeds, fat AND fruit, my issues got worse, especially candida and CF. When I found the book the 80/10/10 Diet by Doug Graham I found incredible health transformation, cleared my acne, my IBS, improved my periods, sleep, chronic fatigue and improved other symptoms from Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I also felt mental clarity, and an overall feeling of contentment/euphoria even, especially considering I then had the energy to really exercise and lift weights and sleep great with no need for caffeine. I met with others in tropical locations to live cheap and eat cheap fruit who had healed health issues or lost weight and we were all thriving. But the key was we ate high calorie but only a little bit of overt fat at night with dinner and some of us completely eliminated the overt fat all together for a while to heal whatever issue before adding back in overt whole food fats. Over the years I have been able to add back more fat and even some animal products (at dinner). I just prefer the way fruit makes me feel during the day and is so easy on my digestive system. I’ve tried eating a meal of meat during the day and it doesn’t give me the effects I desire, not the energy and don’t really feel satisfied and often get acid reflux if I try and have more than one meal a day of meat. I also do occasionally have white rice or potato or even whatever I want if it’s out to eat though I really try and stay away from PUFAs so eating out anything I want is less common but fruit for breakfast and lunch has worked great for me. B12 comes from soil that animals eat, but even after being years of an omnivore my b12 levels were low when I started raw vegan, and yes I got injections and I have no issue with that because the benefits I feel from eating fruit outweigh having to have a supplement of b12 occasionally. Iron was low but it was low since before I went vegan. I had all the signs as a kid of being anemic despite eating a SAD diet. But still, optimal iron levels are debatable. I have heard 25 is a great number (Georgi Dinkov sites studies I should find them) and my doc insisted I get infusions when I had that number a few years ago and the infusions gave me bad side effects and I felt no improvements in my health. Mostly it was some hair thinning I was worried about in why I agreed to the infusions but I have bad hair genetics since my mom has alopecia and has no hair and my grandma struggled with it too. I was only suggesting what works for me, because for some people eating how I do now or did back then really helps them when they are desperate to feel better. Definitely not going to work though if one doesn’t eat enough calories or eats too much fat, not ripe enough fruit etc. Eating like that is potentially really good for people who are really weak and suffering and nothing else has worked. The fruit is so easy on the digestive system, hydrating and I was still able to get stronger despite eating only 40g protein a day. Our closet animal ancestors are fruit eaters I just don’t understand why me suggesting one mono fruit meal a day (like at breakfast after one has fasted all night) would be harmful? I guess if you are fat focused and in ketosis a meal like that could make your blood sugar go up and make you crash totally. Yeah I guess sometimes I forget that a lot of people who watch this channel are in ketosis and insulin response is so poor that one of humans most logical and instinctual foods eaten as a meal would make them feel like crap. Oh and we don’t know what fruit was like back when humans still lived in the tropics (that’s our natural habitat since it’s warm enough all year to be naked and not need technology to survive), because everything completely decomposes in the moist hot environment. But look at chimps and bonobos, look how damn strong they are. They are mainly fruit eaters. Why should the least instinctual food, live animals and their secretions, be something that should be a main calorie source for humans? Just because we have adapted to eating it, doesn’t mean it’s optimal. I see meat as supplemental. Same with grains, those aren’t natural either, and I try to not eat a ton of them. But at the end of the day you have to do what’s working for you. Fruit for breakfast and lunch has worked for me for 13 years. I will keep getting blood work, and keep doing any kind of testing I can to prove I’m healthy. And I will continue to share my experience because some people keto/carnivore is failing them miserably and it’s good to know there is other options that have done wonders for other people.

check out knees over toes guy, he has a lot of stuff about knee injuries

I agree I have zero strength difference fasted or not but that’s because I’m fat adapted

Because of Randle you have to eat low fat on this diet, it's absolutely terrible from a health perspective. You want to make health gains, switch gradually over to high fat low carb

Instagram?

She's built like a guy. She's definitely on estrogen blockers to attain that physique. Women can't get that lean naturally. As a guy, her physique is not attractive - it's not feminine.

OMG what are you smoking? Have you seen Erika or met her in person? NO. @@nattypatty3667

Erika G fitness !

that's what I said to the officer, but they still took my cocaine and put me in jail

Except our ancestors ate carbs every day and were thin, and weren't bodybuilders. Look at old video and photos.

​@@melissakey2483Wasn't the fiber content higher then? Modern fruit has been made sweeter with less fiber. They were moving more too.

@@melissakey2483 I used to bodybuild for years and now I’m a dancer.. I’m pretty active these days still but I am not eating as near as much as 300 carbs and I’m not ripped like I used to be..

Yeah squats destroy my back, even with 0 weight, but I've also got more than sciatica going on. Degenerating herniated discs and previously broken back.

the problem with squats is that many people don't have the flexibility, either in their glutes or ankles, too much sitting on chairs

💯

Carbs are BS, stick with high fat it's much healthier

you will build plenty without carbs too

Im definitely insulin resistent🤦🏽‍♀️...im.trying omad and low carbs ..its going great...im a girl so i do not want big.muscles on me....but i am.trying to achieve to lean look😊

@themindhelp9584 you probably wouldn't get big muscles very easily even if you tried to. I think smaller meals more often is better than OMAD. ONAD is OK if you're resetting your got, after that it's not necessary

Yo bro, I see you in the RP space!

It's due to a lack of fat

She's not natural. She has striations in her shoulders, strong vascularity, and very little body fat/water retention. Pretty much impossible as a woman to have those without the help of PEDs

Welcome to the reality warp of the internet

She gets her eating advice from Bro science

It's still possible in your 70's and 80's and it's been proven

When you’re as strong and lean as her, please let me know and I’ll have you on the show!

​@Highintensityhealth The commentor is right, you should do your homework. What stimulates, is muscle fatigue. Why do isometrics work?

Must be nice to not have a destroyed core and hrs to spend in the gym. How about the ones who cant do this? No videos on that. Guess we screwed

@@Highintensityhealth You should have Drew Baye on your show. He's easy to reach on his *_HIT List_* private forum.

​@@HighintensityhealthDoes it totally count if you're not natty?

It's a bit of a Valley girl sounding voice.

majority of women dont have to concern themselves with looking like her. i am not pointing fingers but you are on the right track

Yes, Erika is natty!

😂 Like Mike O'Hearn

@@Highintensityhealthoff cycle?

No fucking way

Her upper body is still weak compared to a guy. She probably can't even do 175 on bench
