In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about intermittent fasting, autophagy, and your muscles. Autophagy is the state you can get into when you do intermittent fasting - where the body is recycling old damaged proteins. It gives the body a catabolic effect or a breakdown of something. 

Benefits of Autophagy

• Anti-aging 

• Longevity 

• Better Immune System 

• Decrease Inflammation 


When you don’t want to lose muscle mass while doing intermittent fasting, add strength training as a part of your workout. Loading up muscle to recruit as many muscle fibers as you can. 


1. Go heavyweight with a lower amount of reps 

2. Go moderate amount of weight to failure  


Or you can do a combination of both. These two actions can create a hypertrophy effect on the muscle which can keep them bigger and prevent them from shrinking when you are doing intermittent fasting.
