Fat cells contain protein, why isn't anyone talking about this!!! · Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life

  SPEAKER_00: I found out something very interesting that I'd like to share, and this is something that I haven't seen talked about a lot when it comes to fasting.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I know fasting, not eating for a particular long period of time.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: The muscle wasting that happens when people are starving after they get rid of subcutaneous fat and visceral fat and all that, and they're down to lean tissue, and then they're not eating, that's a problem.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: And you start to cannibalize different parts of your body that you really need, i.e., muscle and muscle is very important to hold on to.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm doing some research looking at those questions that at least I have.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: If I'm going to fast for a particular period of time to torch off some fat, like I have in the past, what is going to happen to the muscle that I've worked so hard to build and keep?
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: Well, looking at these different studies out there, Peter Atiya puts together something I'll link to, and then also Jason Fung, who's a doctor and nephrologist, he does some research on muscle and fasting and those sorts of things.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: Come to find out, actually, in a fat cell, there's some liquid and there's also some protein and, of course, fat.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: But in every fat cell, you got a little bit of protein floating around in there.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Also, Peter Atia talks about he wouldn't be surprised if a person, while fasting, wasn't getting a fully nourishing meal from off of the fat that their body happens to be burning off during their fast.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: Now, of course, everything has a perfect time period, and some things, and sometimes people take things very long, longer than they should.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: That's why fasting needs to be personal.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: But I find it interesting that people become so concerned about eating, even when they're super fat, super obese like I was, way over 50% body fat.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I still, even at that time when I started, a big part of my holdback when I started to think about fasting was, oh my gosh, I'm going to lose muscle.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Well, now that might mean something to me, but back then I was this big fat blob, and I shouldn't have been concerned with losing any muscle.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: We should all, but at that time I should have been more concerned with the fat.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: But what I'm saying is losing the muscle was a stumbling block for me for a lot of years.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: But I've realized that your body is incredible.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: If you're losing, excuse me, if you're using your muscle, the propensity of your body burning it for fuel is very low.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: And in some of the studies I've seen by very official organizations, it appears that lean muscle mass is spared during fasting, even fasting up to several days.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: That's something to look at.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: And as long as you combine that with a little bit of weightlifting to keep that muscle active during the fast, I think you might have found your key.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: With me, it helped because it took food from that pedestal that I had food on because I was so addicted to it.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: It was almost as if I was worshiping it in every way that I could.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: But pulling back, having gone through a very long fast myself, not as long as other people, people have gone much longer than 14 days, but that really did reset me and give me a whole new appreciation for food.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Besides really enjoying eating again, I actually realized that I had control.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: And when you can start exhibiting control over different factors in your life, those things that are habits to you, breaking them and doing new things, that's when true change starts to come.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: And with anything, folks, change, it isn't easy.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Change is difficult.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: But if you start slowly and make sure that if you are going to go through this process of change, whatever that means to you, and you screw it up, make sure you have the wherewithal to forgive yourself, intestinal fortitude and strength to forgive yourself first and then continue on your path.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Again, the places where people stumble, in some cases, they never get up.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: They are stuck.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: Or, you know, when they're telling you if you ever played football and somebody's chasing you, the last thing you want to do is look back because you might trip, and definitely looking back causes you to slow down, even if just a little bit, and maybe giving those people behind you who are chasing you the advantage.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: So keep moving forward.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: Don't look back, don't regret screwing it up.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: Just continue at that next moment, you get clarity before you continue down that path of breaking the promises you've made yourself.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Connor with Honor Bewell.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: We will talk to you soon, and thanks for watching.
