The Benefits of Fasting
Hey Powerbuilders, it’s Coach Gary! Let’s talk about the benefits of fasting and why it’s a powerful tool for your fitness and health.
1. Reduces Insulin Resistance
• Fasting can increase your body’s sensitivity to insulin, helping keep your blood sugar steady. This prevents spikes and crashes, making it easier to manage energy levels throughout the day.
2. Reduces Inflammation
• Fasting helps regulate hormones like ghrelin (hunger hormone) and cortisol (stress hormone), which can reduce overall inflammation in the body. Lower inflammation supports recovery and optimal performance.
3. Enhances Fat Loss
• Fasting can help burn calories more efficiently. Since it helps regulate insulin, your body can better access stored fat for energy, helping you lose weight more effectively.
4. Boosts Metabolism
• Fasting gives your metabolism a boost, especially helpful when you’re cutting and want to avoid metabolic slowdown. It can help you burn more calories even at rest, keeping fat loss steady.
5. Increases Growth Hormone Secretion
• Fasting triggers an increase in growth hormone, which is vital for metabolism, fat burning, muscle strength, and overall recovery. Growth hormone plays a big role in building lean muscle while shedding fat.
