Even most religions do not make children fast because their bodies require more nutrients to grow. Certainly occasional short fasts, (less than 24 hours) are fine but not longer ones. How appropriate is intermittent fasting for teenagers? Many athletes follow a schedule of 24 hr fast, then exercise, then breaking the fast with a high protein meal. It’s efficacy is unknown, with mostly anecdotal evidence. There is minimal muscle loss during short term fasting, so BCAA is not needed, but often used by bodybuilders.
Since growth hormone is high, you theoretically will recover and build muscle faster in this state. Most people fast for 24 hrs and then do their training – this is called ‘training in the fasted state’. Should there be any differences between intermittent fasting on training days and non-training days? And during the fasting periods – or days – is it advisable to take supplements such as BCAA’s to prevent muscle loss? How should intermittent fasting be used in conjunction with resistance training to maximize muscle growth and fat burning? I don’t advise fasting during pregnancy or breast feeding. There is a concern of nutrient deficiency which I think far outweighs any potential benefit. Can women fast during pregnancy and after birth during breast feeding?
Not only is it safe, but training in the fasted state has several theoretical benefits that many elite level athletes are using. She wants to know if she can fast or is this not recommended for people who exercise? My daughter who is 31 and a healthy weight exercises (rowing) four times a week. Reducing down to 2 meals per day is also possible, but not longer duration fasting. My advice is to severely restrict added sugars and snacking. Is fasting an option for children who need to lose weight?įasting is not an option for children.
