New Video + Transcript: Calories vs. Hormones
🕑 Added 2017-06-13 01:02:40 +0000 UTC Hey all,Here's the transcript for my new vid.
Re: Muscle Wasting
(On this video, it would have been better to spend more time clarifying the point around 1:30 about muscle wasting)
I talk about how the body is trying to preserve energy, and so it will try to minimize processes that burn calories and save the calories it has. So, it will burn muscle for energy via gluconeogenesis.
This is the case only if you have reduced your food intake without significantly reducing carbohydrates. That is, if you have cut into your overall calories without modifying the composition of your diet in a way that allows you to enter ketosis, you can expect muscle atrophy.
That is, your body will respond very differently to a ketogenic diet or fasting than a higher carb calorie restricted diet.
Hope that helps a bit. Looking forward to any questions y'all might have!
Cheers,
Joseph
