Ok, Warning – I get pretty philosophical with this post.
Number one question I get about fasting?
What about losing muscle mass?
The truth is (as I point out in Eat Stop Eat) you don’t lose muscle while following Eat Stop Eat because you are resistance training AND fasting.
Of course, this naturally leads to questions about how much protein a person should be eating.
In fact, there were enough questions about protein that I ended up having to write my book “How Much Protein?” to properly answer the questions.
These questions led me to some questions of my own…
Mainly…
Why Protein?
If people are so concerned about their muscle mass, why is it protein that they asked about? Why not anabolic steroids?
After all even the most DIE HARD protein pusher will admit that the effectiveness of protein is very limited.
Protein just isn’t going to make you massive.
Anabolic steroids on the other hand…They have a very good track […]
