About this episode
Fasting is an incredible tool to use when you want to get rid of visceral belly fat, but many of us may feel hesitant because we want to preserve the muscle mass we work so hard at growing and protecting.
If you find yourself in this conundrum, this episode is for you.
Today I share about a way to fast by reducing calories but maintaining protein intake.
New research from 2025 shows that protein intake does not seem to inhibit autophagy the way we thought.
(Study cited here: High protein does not change autophagy in human PBMCs after 1 hour - https://doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.188845)
This means that we can get the biological benefits of autophagy with fasting while still maintaining protein intake.
This is great news!
This episode is for you if you:
- Want to get rid of visceral belly fat by using fasting while maintaining muscle
- Are a Christian who wants to fast without losing physical strength
