LOSING MUSCLE with Intermittent Fasting - New Study Results

I'm 76 years old. On a keto diet and intermittent fasting. In one year I lost 65 lbs. My muscle mass increased significantly. Got off diabetes medicine. Number dropped from ~250 to ~110. Lost man boobs. Pants size 42 to 34. And on and on. Studies are generalized, not specific. May work for an industry, but not for an individual. Have a good day.

The food industry needs people to consistently eat to keep their profits high. They want people to eat their full 3 meals a day with snacks in between.

I’m so thankful that you are out there catching these reports and presenting the facts to counter these negative messages! I don’t think “they” are attacking IF-it’s the keto diet (& IF is part of that life style) that is at the center of the attack!! More and more people are adopting this lifestyle and it’s impacting so many other diet programs plus the sugar industry…so a lot of $$ behind conducting studies to bring down the keto lifestyle!! Thank you Thomas!!

IF has helped my IBS so far, eating from 12-7pm. Not having to eat in the morning is so liberating.

Cured my pre diabetes metabolic syndrome and blood pressure now 119 over 79 from 140 plus eating 8 times a day weight training all my life and cycling from the age of 50 been fasting and keto for two yrs and all the crap cleared up and I got faster and stronger on the bike ! It works the End !

Study or no study. I will never go back to a life without intermittent fasting.

I have been a low carber 12 years now. It has worked great on many levels. Weight, health, bloodwork, etc. Would never return to the low fat, high fibre starvation diet that got me fat. Low fat hell. I had my first child in 1982. Lost 30 pounds just having her. Right afterwards I had an apron of skin which hung to my knees. Cried when I saw it. I had a 23 inch waist when I got pregnant and no one warned me how big the change would be. Likely worse because I was following the low fat food pyramid. The death diet. The skin over years went up some, but never great. When I went low carb the skin improved a lot more, but if I leaned over in front of a mirror I still had a lot of lose hanging skin. About a 7 inch drop. Also lose skin over the body from losing weight. Knees, back of arms, face, neck, etc. I am also old, which also effects skin. Can't change that. I started intermittent time limited fasting last summer. Just a couple of days a week. Did not want to lose weight, but skin. Still have a hang leaning over, but it is at least 2 inches shorter. Maybe a bit more. My arms and above my knees are also looking better. And my neck is also a bit better. All round I am pleased with the results and plan to keep it up. It is really easy to do and does give results.

I'll tell you what the "problem" is with intermittent fasting! In a phrase, "snacking control"! I people are in control of their snacking, a huge industry will simply collapse! Consumerism is driven by advertising. The marketers are betting they can "persuade" people to desire their snack products--and they're everywhere! If they can't stimulate that desire, they fail...

My take-away; muscle strength went up, muscle bulk went down. As a runner/cyclist perfect!
