Here’s a quote from Canadian clinical phsychologist and author Jordan B. Peterson on why he uses fasting…
This is something very cool about fasting, and of course it makes perfect sense from an evolutionary perspective. When you fast enough so that you start digesting your own body tissues, the body tissue that you digest first is the damaged tissue. So then you can die a little bit, because that’s what happens when you consume yourself. But the consequence of that is that you live longer.
I now use intermittent fasting once or twice a week almost year-round…
It helps me lean out after a loose-eating winter and then maintain my leanness. Plus, it has anabolic value. Here are some of the benefits…
- Optimizes anabolic and fat-burning hormones, like testosterone, thyroid hormones, and growth hormone
- Rejuvenates hormones and cells, as well as killing off weak and mutant ones
- Normalizes insulin levels
- Accelerates cell repair and makes it more efficient
So you get excellent health-and-muscle-building benefits from 12-to-14-hour fasts a few days a week—and it’s not that hard compared to torturous daily-grind diets.
Give it a try. You’ve got nothing to lose, except dangerous body fat, and plenty of muscle and health to gain.

Until recently, MPS was only elevated when trainees would lift 70-90% of their one-rep max…
