    Why women should FAST differently than men… | Exercise & Nutrition Scientist Dr Stacy Sims

    07:57Why women should FAST differently than men… | Exercise & Nutrition Scientist Dr Stacy Sims
    • And I bring up that movie WALL-E from the early 2000s with the little robot who's like wandering around society and you see all these people on these floating beds watching a screen and one of the guys gets kicked off by WALL-E accidentally, falls down, he can't get up. And he's looking around going, why can't I get up? What's going on? I'm like, that's today's society where people are not able to actually pull their own body weight around for a significant amount of time because it feels too difficult. Whereas we look at all the stuff that comes out with nutrition and all the trends that come out with nutrition from fasting to carnivorous diet to the old-fashioned paleo, all of these things that people are trying to do, we turn to exercise and we change the modalities of exercise. Are we doing intense exercise? Are we doing low intensity? Are we doing resistance training? Are we doing cardio? What are we doing? All of these things in exercise are significantly stronger stress on the body that create more adaptive changes than all these crazy diets. But people find exercise too hard where they don't have time. So if I, in that example where a man and woman come to you, you would, you wouldn't recommend the woman to fast in the same way that you'd recommend a man to fast. Is there any differences that you'd recommend in training if they were, if their goal was to lose weight? Yep, absolutely. So when we're looking at, regardless of age for women, because we see that women don't age in a linear fashion like men.
