How to Use Fasting to Build Muscle, Lose Fat and Improve Health 

But fasting IS what helped me work on my relationship with food.

So glad I came across this. THANK YOU!!!!!! You guys are very simple in the explanation and how we should approach this. More importantly...you explained how we should adjust based on our goals. Thank you so much

just found MP podcast last week and am really enjoying the approach to fitness and nutrition! Great info

Thanks for the upload! Great advice and much needed tips. Keep them coming. 👍🏽

Great video guys! More stuff like this, I love hearing real life examples and comparison mixed with the science.

I lost 50lbs using intermittent fasting. This was before I was informed by y’all a podcasts that losing weight in a short period of time is detrimental to long term fitness goals. After I got down down to my goal weight of 175 I have now gotten down to 165lbs using halls protocols it took a little over 2 months but I have never been leaner or felt stronger. Thank you guys so much for y’all info. Please never stop what y’all do. #MPnation

Mind pump mafia!! Keep up the good work guys, love the unbiased info you guys are presenting to the fitness industry. Excited to see how fast you grow these next few months/years

Started with lean gains, now warrior. Also, just did a 42 hour fast, was easy; could’ve went longer and will next time. Just be clear, you still have to “eat clean” in the eating window no matter which system you use.

Ty. Too many people don’t know. I used to do this but people told me otherwise. This is dope. And I find when I’m fasted My mind is sooo much clearer

Awesome video thank you guys 💪🏽😀

Great videos!!! I love the tips and all of the valuable information!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!💯💯💯💖❤💜🧡💛💚💙

Good video guys, and I was super glad to hear you talk about the fact that it's not ideal for maximal muscle growth. There's clearly some health benefits that come from fasting and I agree I can definitely help with appetite and satiety as well when you do eat. Definitely though if your main goal is to build muscle you do you want to be making sure to have protein at least 2 to 4 times a day. I'm probably the same as Adam where I incorporate a fast occasionally, maybe wants to max twice a week. All the best you guys and thanks for the content!

Daily - 18:6 or 20:4 Monthly - 3 day water, black coffee and green tea fast Quarterly or semi annual - 7-10 day water + black coffee + green tea fast. Change your life, for the better obviously.

Ive been doing the 16-8 fast for years and never even thought about it. I just didn't feel I needed any food upon waking up and ate my first meal at 12 midday. Just plenty of water. I even do my workout in the morning a few hours before eating. Eating all day every few hours is ridiculous and having this window of time to eat is so much easier and frees you up from obsessing over food. The food industry wants you to eat their cereals and the supplement industry wants you to consume their products all around the clock to make money off you. Its all a total load of BS with so many suckers buying into it!

These are the only guys that actually make sense.

I do Alternate Day Fasting and I have one cheat day and I’m still able to keep building muscle and keep my BF% low

Thank you found this useful

yes i have done this since a kid.... im 58 going on 59,, i look 38 or 42. my doctor said i was way ahead of the game. he said i have the heartbeat of an 8 year old. im still jumping rope 3000 to 5000 skips and 2o rounds hevy bag sometimes everyday. my sex stamina is very above average. however im a double libra sun rising.. thank you for your research 19 days was my longest fast.... the trick is to get happy about fasting make a game out of it and be happy doing it

Love this channel

You know when I was younger I fasted all week M-F and ate what I wanted on the weekends and I was in perfect shape. Go figure I just did it so I could have what I wanted on the weekend. I think now the first fasting method you mention would be best for me at my age now. Thanks for your informative videos.

thank you......

I'm into this method today

Love that warrior fast too!!! Get it get it !! Didn’t read the book 📚 hmm 🤔 should I??

Eating 2 or 1 times a day or every other day 1 time is great for fasting. It gives your insulin a chance to come down and u lose weight not so much from the foods but from having continually low insulin (Blood sugar levels).

IF for life 💪🏾🔥🔥

Hey guys, I just came across your channel recently. Adam, when you incorporate fasting while trying to build muscle, are you lifting on the day(s) you fast? If so, do you break the fast pre or post training? Love the videos I've seen so far! Thanks for the great content.

Hi guys, thanks for explaining different kinds of fast but can u also help us out in ways one should break their fast? I've seen with myself that breaking fast with simple sugars or carbs actually made me gain fat rather than an alternate approach of breaking fast with low GI foods or Vegetables n protein.... Maybe this equates to what u call "relationship with food"

Thanks

Have any of the Mind Pump team tried 12-hour fasts? I think I heard it on either Joe Rogan Experience or The Art of Manliness podcast. The guest was talking about intermittent fasting, and recommended eating one meal in the morning, fasting 12-hours, eating a meal in the evening, and then fasting 12-hours at night, to include your sleep period. Just curious.

So do you guys train fasted?... thank you

Do you have a link to the warrior diet book??

Im just a bit speechless after watching this video. Ive decided to keep my comments about the things you said, to myself. Only because ive learned a large amount of informative, and SAFE information on the many other videos Mind Pump have made. Hope you guys get back to what is best for all of us. Looking forward to them.

Soo good

Hello guys, i just started following u. Have a question for u guys. Can i break my intermitten fasting with whey protien?

How many calories should you consume in warrior diet and 16-8 ? dou you consume all for the day. Wouldn't that be unhealthy ?

Ppl tend to forget, your body isn't in a fasted state til its digested all of your last meal, which is usually about 12 hours after your last email. So for example, if your last bite of your meal was at mid ight, your body isn't fasted until noon the next day.

Adam I just saw a video WoWw. Thanks

here's the problem I have: I've been fasting for years. On most gays I have been 18 hours fated and 6 hours not ( or the so called eating window!). When I began working out, however, everything told me to add more calories for weight gain and to get a significantly higher amount of protein. So let's take your lean 16 hour plan for example. How in the world do you get the protein requirement of someone working to build muscle all in 8 hours???? I'm a small person and my protein needs are only 74 grams a days.I cant comprehend eating enough food to get 74 grams of protein in 8 hours!! Please advise?

Warrior diet. Training full body twice a week. Wish I did this ten years ago.

You need to know that even if 16/8 may be good, coming out of it may be tricky as probability of overeating is high there.

I still don’t understand how having an eating window can help with fat loss.. I mean.. what if someone stuffed their face and over eats going super over their daily requirements for calories.. then stops eating for 20 hours.. like would that even help

Been watching the podcast for a while and only found this channel now? 🤔🤔🤔 The RU-vid algorithm is F***ED.

Thank you bros.

Is fasting ideal for a 20 year old tryna get muscle and gain weight ?

I daily do 22-24hr fast and I feel great. I usually do my work out at the 22hr mark and eat when I hit 24hrs

So for us early AM workout people, what would be an acceptable post workout meal if I am technically in a Fast till about 1PM? or is that a plus to not eat after a workout?Thanks

I got fat 220lb 6'2 used to be 160lb. A lot bad weight gainers injury. Anyways cleaned my diet got to 200- 203 worked also weight would not drop... I do 2 days of water fast. No food Tuesday, and Friday... Dropped everyday until 190 for a week... Now it's slower but muscles growing and looking hard.. Now 185... Looking to get 170 - 175

Do I workout faster or after I eat

so how does one fit in a tough workout (heavy lift, or crossfit) around these eating windows? should we break fast right before, or right after working out?

16:8 for me🙌🏾

A ate mostly once a day for 5 days a week for years now. Sometime just 4 days. Mostly raw vegan. I think I m getting fat. For a year didn't go to gym and have hard muscle and need two wifes at 64 (maybe three).

If you eat once a day approximately every 24 hrs it is hard to do for the first five day but than it becomes easy to starve and it feels good but after a few weeks your energy finally breaks down.

Why did I beat all my bodybuilding PR's on my 3rd day of fasting? I had only drank tea and water.

cool love your guy's channel

One day eating and working out, one day fasting and resting

Okay ISSA BIG MON TING 🚫🧢💪💪💯

Let’s fast

Do you exercise fasted?

I'm 5'7" 160 lbs and after 16 hours of fasting I'm typically so hungry I can eat pretty large meals every 2 hours. Can't tell you exactly how many calories because I don't have a food scale but all the ingredients of my prep meals are whole foods and with plenty of protein and healthy carbs. After losing 35 lbs my weight leveled off and now I just continue to get leaner. Think I could bulk if I added one more meal and cut the amount of time I fast down to 14 hours?

Adam is a fucking monster but Sal is THE MAN!

They did not mention it but make sure you drink water while fasting on each type of fasting

Can anyone show met some human studies proving this works? I can only find studies showing it works on mice.. And studies showing that calorie restriction and fasting have the same fatloss benefits.

+Mind Pump TV does the fasting include the intake of fluids as well. What do you think about protein shake meal replacements for breakfast & lunch and then have a meal for dinner?

I'm interested in the benefits of intermitent fasting but every morning when I wake up I feel I'm starving. I love having a huge breakfast and I can't imagine how I'd be able to go to the gym on an empty stomach. I feel I wouldn't be able to do it.

Dude I pooped my pants when I saw the thumbnail, while adam looks like he's trying to poop his pants hahahaha

What actually counts as breaking a fast? If I had a preworkout supplement during my fast would that break the fast?

can you drink coffee during the fasting window? thinking about trying the eat stop eat

I tried 16:8 fir a month and all I got is that my metabolism slowed down and my trash can (belly) poped out like a was 3 months pregnant. Intermittent fasting is not good for bulking.

Should we drink water during the fast you didnt really say anything abt that?

How much calories should you eat when you're fasting??

Good content. 0:67

Agoge Diet really took my diet to the next level. Not only diet, but life. I can see improvements in many aspects of my life. Guys, you rock! #Agoge Diet

Guy sounds like Joe Rogan

Hi

Deep bros!

Can I workout fasted ?

Does Sal even lift ? Nice job Adam!!!

Relationship with food...? I'm fasting because I broke up with food.

Can you drink water on the full day fast?

MOST NORMAL PEOPLE WILL NOT EAT THOUSANDS OF CALORIES IN A 4 HOUR WINDOW SO DON`T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF SITTING DOWN AND EATING FOR 4 OR 8 HOURS. YOU CAN EAT ALL YOU NEED (NOT ALL YOU WANT LOL) WITHIN 1 HOUR.

The biggest problem with these bodybuilders/fitness people that try to teach you how to build muscle or lose fat is that majority of them are on gear (steroids) and a lot of people do not know that 1/3 of American active males are on gear, so when that 2/3 of people that have no clue, look at that Men's Health front page at your grocery store and think what am I doing wrong, why do I not look like that they turn to these videos. With that said, looking at these two "gurus" that are on point about dieting and keeping low body fat are for some reason not shredded because of their gear and water retention. These videos give good info and what these guys are telling you is correct but their chemical build is completely different from your average joe. A person on steroids can fast for weeks, as long as they take multivitamins their muscle will not break down because of all the testosterone and HGH, this is how bodybuilders get shredded before the competition. People need to come clean on steroids, the bodybuilding industry needs to come clean, all the supplements, protein shakes and all of that other bs crap they sell is for those people that have no idea that steroids exist.

What do you mean by "eat all your food" when you say you have to eat all your foot in that 8 hour period? The same with the warrior diet. when you are in your eat window, how much are you supposed to be eating? Are you trying to eat your whole day's worth of food in that window?

What about water, tea, coffee??

Can you make a video on how to lose the flabby arms and thighs?? :( Thank and God bless!

16-8 how many times a week bro?

Visiting *Agoge Diet* was a life-changing decision. Who would have believe that creating a diet plan is so easy.

As I started following diet and training plan from Agoge Diet, I took my confidence to the next level. Girls finally started noticing me.

You make eat stop eat sound more difficult than it really is. It’s just 24 hour fast. So stop eating at dinner one day and don’t eat again until dinner the next day stop at 6pm and start at 6 pm the next day. So you don’t have to go a day without actually eating anything.

Soo,Can I build muscle with the warrior fasting 20/4 or not?if yes,what I have to eat between 4h window to build muscles?thank you

So simple, yet so effective. That's how would I describe diet plan from "Agoge Diet". Now I belive that simplicity is the key to brilliance.

Does Okibetonic Secrets really help to lost lots of fat? I've learn many good stuff about this popular fat burn methods.

I was having a pizza with my friend when he said he was on a diet and pizza is his regular cheat meal and part of diet plan he got from Agoge Diet. I thought he was crazy, but after a month I noticed his body has changed a lot. He looked better than ever. I should really visit that website

Can you have coffee or tea while fasting?

1 day farted 6 days fed?

Any one tried the Okibetonic Secrets (search on google)? I have noticed several awesome things about this popular diet plan.

Woodprix is a good solution for every woodworker.

My work buddy laughed when I told them I was planning to reduce weight with just using Okibetonic Secrets, but after I showed these people incredible results after I used it they're begging me to share with them about it. Of course I won't tell them the detail about this diet plan, haha
