Try Kion Amino Acid Supplement - Amazon
In this podcast, the host discusses his approach to fasting, particularly a 36-hour fast he performs once a month, which he finds effective for cleansing and maintaining muscle mass without extreme difficulty. He emphasizes the importance of supplementing with amino acids during fasting to preserve muscle, noting that zero-calorie amino acid supplements are ideal since they provide the building blocks for protein without breaking the fast. However, he acknowledges that many of these supplements taste terrible.
After experimenting with different supplements, he found Kion, a flavored amino acid supplement, to be both effective and palatable, making it easier to stay hydrated and motivated during fasts. While not promoting the brand specifically, he encourages listeners to find a supplement that meets their taste and nutritional preferences. He also shares his fasting schedule, where he begins fasting after a morning meal on Monday and concludes on Tuesday evening, ensuring he still gets at least one meal each day.
The host concludes by reiterating the importance of muscle preservation, especially for those over 40, and invites listeners to share their own supplement recommendations.
