Going on I have warriors.
So today we have a site SC beauty lashes as she gives us
a video on her 60 days of only juice fasting and water and
she say states that this is only to kick-start my healthy
lifestyle change.
Now, I have my thoughts on juice fasting.
We're going to go ahead and take a look at the video and
see what the progress was for her.
I turned off the audio because it's just music and you could
kind of you can read what what what it says during the during
the time of the video and I don't want to get hit with a
copyright strike.
So we're going to go ahead and play this.
We're going to look at the results and then I'm going to talk
to you about what I think when it comes to juice fasting.
All right, here we go.
So she lose loses 18 kgs.
I could already start to see a difference.
This is slight but I see it there.
Yep.
Now definitely seeing a difference from the beginning.
Okay, I was prefer when they do these things to use the same
clothing by consistently throughout.
I mean wouldn't paying you to do that because what what that
does is it tells us based off of the how the clothes fits
you just the little micro stuff that we won't be able to see
that's day 60.
Okay, so that's her day 60, right?
That's day 60 and it would go back here.
Yeah, she definitely lost a lot of weight because she said
she lost she started at 104 kilograms ended at 86 kilograms.
Okay, so she lost a lot of weight now.
Let's talk about this guys.
Let's talk about this.
Now the thing that the thing that I want to talk about when
it comes to juice fasting is it removes literally one of my
favorite one of my favorite macronutrients.
Not one of my favorite my favorite macronutrient.
What am I talking about protein?
The power of consuming protein goes without you without saying
you protein is create it come it puts into your body.
The amino acids which are the building blocks for muscle
tissue muscle degradation happens when you don't consume
protein because that is one of the pillars of protein synthesis.
You need to consume protein.
You need to be at a caloric surplus.
That's not happening if you're losing weight.
So you already can't just you already can't do one of the
pillars by default.
Then there's resistance training which will start to reduce
over time as you're losing weight, especially if you're not
consuming protein.
So you start to chop at that leg as well.
And then there's also meal frequency.
Now if you're doing a juice fast, that means that your meal
frequency is probably pretty low.
Some people just do breakfast lunch dinner juice fast.
Some people just do breakfast then dinner or lunch then dinner
whatever it is.
There's going to be some sort of time timing elements in there
where they're not consuming as much food throughout the day
and even if they are they're not consuming protein.
So you are literally chopping every single protein synthesis
leg right from under it.
No protein consumption.
No high-frequency meal.
No resistance training and no caloric surplus four pillars
for building muscle completely locked knocked out.
There's basically no protein synthesis taking place.
What will happen is that your body will start to degrade
muscle.
There will be multiple instances of glucose neogenesis where
your body is using your muscle tissue breaking it down and
turning it into glucose for your energy.
You're going to be losing quick weight.
Yes, a lot of that is going to be water a lot of that is going
to be muscle mass and some of it is also going to be fat obviously
because you are at a caloric deficit, but when you give your
body a reason not to maintain muscle, it will not maintain
muscle.
Now when it comes to these kind of fast as well many times
the fiber is even removed from the vegetables itself.
Technically without medical supervision.
You really shouldn't do a liquid only diet because there's
so many nutrients that it is missing and protein being one
of the most important now.
I'm not knocking her for what she did 60 days on juice fast
is way too much.
You are destroying muscle tissue.
I would prefer that you eat and do fasting so that at least
you're consuming your an adequate amount of protein, especially
during a caloric deficit so that you can retain as much protein
as possible.
Think about it the way if you lose protein considering that
muscle is highly highly metabolically active.
If you are losing protein, you are making it harder for you
to now maintain this weight loss is much easier now to regain
weight because less calories will make you hit a deficit will
make you hit a surplus or a maintenance level, right?
So the more muscle you have on your body the better it is in
terms of your calories out because how of how highly metabolically
active your muscle tissues are which is why protein consumption
is super important during weight loss because your body will
automatically slow down metabolically, but how much that slow
down will be will determine will be determined by so many different
biological factors like how much muscle mass were you able to
retain the the less muscle you were able to retain the less
metabolically active your body will be especially during the
BMR burning, which is the majority of your your calorie burn,
which is the base the basal metabolic rate.
So I am not a proponent for juice fasting.
I am sorry if anybody is out there a juice faster, but I would
prefer for health and just for overall by positive biology to
maintain muscle mass and all these different things and have
protein go into your system and even just the consumption of
protein and how metabolically how the thermic effect of protein
which is much higher than all the other macronutrients.
It's at 30% so for every 100 calories of protein your body has
to burn 30% of that.
So you end up actually only storing you can't actually even
store protein person can't even get stored like in body fat,
but you actually only end up basically consuming 70 calories
because of the fact that your your body 30% of that protein
that came in automatically is used to break down that protein
that came in while with with the carbs is about 10% 10 to 15%
and with fats is about 3 to 5% so it's protein is more it has
a higher thermic effect and then when it helps you retain muscle
it helps you build muscle it creates a more metabolically
active body.
I would recommend doing this.
Does she lose weight?
Yes, how much of it is body fat?
How much of it is muscle?
We don't know but just based off of the scientific literature.
I'm sure that a dangerous amount of it was muscle tissue.
All right.
Let me know what you guys think down in the comment section
below and hit that like button hit that subscribe button hit
that share button to help somebody out when it comes to this
kind of stuff because some people take fasting and they put
it in a complete bucket like one little bucket and they say
all fasting is good even juice fasting when in reality it is
not. All right until next time guys.
Peace out.
