Where am I wrong regarding the benefits of waking up and working out fasted for fat loss versus the 30-30-30 method that suggests eating to prevent burning lean muscle, as discussed in the episode 536: Underrated tips to optimize metabolism | Casey Means, M.D., Stanford-trained physician and the clip Muscle and Metabolism? Which approach is better?
At 75 and grossly overweight, nondiabetic but with a lifetime history of elevated cholesterol (by today's standards), I changed the way I eat on March 1 to a carnivore diet exclusively for 2 1/2 months. I also practiced intermittent fasting usually 3-4 days a week. Since then, I have eased into more of a ketovore way of eating, only using low-carb vegetables. I have lost 22 lbs and feel wonderful. However, I am worried about muscle loss and tendinopathy. I use the night hours as the longest part of my fasting protocol. If I eat before bed, will this practice affect the fasting? Thanks for your insight. Janis R.
