In this video, we’re going to talk about the nutrients that make muscles grow. We’re also going to talk about things that will slow down the break down of muscle. The myth is that you need more protein to build muscle. The whole conversion of breaking down the protein and building it back up requires vitamins and minerals. We don’t necessarily need more protein—we need more nutrients. 

The top two nutrients that many people are missing are:
1. Potassium 
2. Trace minerals 

Other vitamins you need:
• Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K)
• B vitamins 
• Vitamin C 

All of these are necessary for the conversion of muscle tissue. If you exercise, you will break down and build up tissue, and this is also necessary.  

Common issues people have with building muscle:
• Insulin resistance 
• Stress (high cortisol) 

What you can do to help build muscle:
• Intermittent fasting (2-3 meals per day) 
• No snacks
• Have fatty protein 
• Consume a moderate amount of protein (3-6 oz.)
• HIIT (high-intensity interval training) 
• Sleep

    This probably one of those videos that changes the way you look at certain things in this case muscles building and its myths



  2. Luca Duca on April 21, 2021 at 5:04 pm

    I’m confused. Bodybuilders eat 5-6 meals per day, inclusive of snacks



  3. Saiyan Nation on April 21, 2021 at 5:07 pm

    So with all due respect it does seem like you want to help and you have knowledge in this area. However this i can tell you this is NOT a one size fits all area. Some may respond to eating less and not taking protein supplements. But i can tell you in three months doing everything thats in your dont category, I have people asking if im taking steroids. Now i will say im doing cardio and weight training 6 days a week. The other issue i have is any muscle building or training advice really becomes more believed if you look the part. You are a stick figure, thats not to say at one point you may have been jacked and ripped because i dont know. I also dont want call you out and say you dont know what your talking about. But i can say for certain doing all thise donts i have seen great results in a rather short time and im not new to the gym nor am i a young guy.

    1:55 love his disappointment face and phrase 😂



  5. mykkyy2007 on April 21, 2021 at 5:10 pm

    He can’t even spell muscles🤣 how we suppose to…anyways



  6. Juarez M. on April 21, 2021 at 5:10 pm

    Pre/Post workout meal are not good for growth, but at the same time u can PUSH ALOT MORE WEIGHT doing that…
    so in this case, i would stick with ther second option for bigger muscles..



  7. Joe Bodo on April 21, 2021 at 5:10 pm

    Dr berg can you do a video on how to get marijuana to metabolize out of your body quickly



  8. Patrick Patterson on April 21, 2021 at 5:11 pm

    Thanks Doc gonna try this method this week



  9. Dan Letts on April 21, 2021 at 5:11 pm

    What makes muscles grow is training to failure and triggering the growth mechanism. Your goal as a weightlifter is to increase the poundage on the bar. If you’re bench pressing the same weight today that you were a year ago you can’t expect your pecs to be any bigger.

    Muscles grow as they get stronger, so your goal is poundage progression



  10. A T on April 21, 2021 at 5:12 pm

    Muskulls



  11. Artemis G on April 21, 2021 at 5:13 pm

    Great information!
    Thank you 😊



  12. Stephen Atkinson on April 21, 2021 at 5:13 pm

    So, capitalism driven marketing is actually killing the masses. The love of money and the hunger for more in some cases is a serial killer/s. On that note I also really enjoyed the video on water intake.



  13. Emory Holley on April 21, 2021 at 5:19 pm

    All you need is beef and steroids and not in that order…



  14. Matangaro Matangaro on April 21, 2021 at 5:20 pm

    Excellent



  15. Christ City on April 21, 2021 at 5:21 pm

    Where’s the person who usually puts up the points to save us 8 minutes



  16. Phillip Leech on April 21, 2021 at 5:22 pm

    Water: greatest exercise drink ever.

    NO, we never had sugar drinks when we ran distance. "Probably Not!" We burned more calories than we took in, up to 6-7000 calories. I had enemia in Jr. High School because I wasn’t getting enough food, and at the same time I had the school record in the mile. No rocket surgery here!



  17. Matt Fitness on April 21, 2021 at 5:23 pm

    This is a very interesting and helpful video in my opinion. I’m learning more new things I’ve never knew before in this video. Thanks for the information.



  18. Merih Habtetian on April 21, 2021 at 5:24 pm

    And water when thirsty



  19. Andrew Hagemeister on April 21, 2021 at 5:25 pm

    Great insightful video.



  20. daniel benitez on April 21, 2021 at 5:26 pm

    Ok I’m gonna go down to 3 wholesome meals per day with no snacks & see if that works, mister



  21. Wes D on April 21, 2021 at 5:27 pm

    I get so confused with all this information. I’m not denying this information is correct but, Dwayne Johnson eats 7-8 meals a day and is built like a racehorse. He’s certainly not fasting.



  22. Dr. Anubha Khare on April 21, 2021 at 5:27 pm

    Awesome video sir
    Can u please guide, do v hv some more ideas/ supplements apart from IF for weight gain in diabetics



  23. Niladri Chakraborty on April 21, 2021 at 5:31 pm

    If u eat only twice a day and do weight training u will collapse soon



  24. Victor Ortega on April 21, 2021 at 5:32 pm

  25. kingmd13 on April 21, 2021 at 5:32 pm

  36. Claudio Junior on April 21, 2021 at 5:41 pm

    Nutrients to make muscles grow " steroids.



  37. Daniel Coombe on April 21, 2021 at 5:44 pm

    Firstly, the fastest way to grow muscle is to constantly have a full stomach. And the type of food is better suited for flavour so you can keep eating. In addition, fifty kilograms of body fat will grow muscle in areas that you miss when your working out in the gym. And as long as your stomach is full the body fat in combination with the exercise will grow muscle all over your body at maximum speed. For example, you will grow about a litre of muscle per month if you concentrate on maintaining a full stomach with a heavy amount of body fat and exercise.



  38. Jessica Agosto on April 21, 2021 at 5:45 pm

    You are amazing Thankyou and God bless you🙏🏻



  39. RATHNESH RATU on April 21, 2021 at 5:45 pm

    Dr. Berg is spot on with the protein overload, I used to consume almost a Kilo of chicken along with 4 eggs everyday, Whey protein and ton of carbs from 2016 to 2018, when I used to workout. It actually depleted my energy and hardly did anything in the gym, now I have IBS, bloated all the time, fatigue so much that I can’t even climb stairs.



  40. AManofSorrows on April 21, 2021 at 5:48 pm

    You spelled "muscles wrong!



  41. WG Superstar on April 21, 2021 at 5:49 pm

    All the while Berg has toothpick arms



  42. Pawel Niewczas on April 21, 2021 at 5:50 pm

    This is all fascinating. Thank you. But can you please explain a slight inconsistency Dr. Berg? You said in this video that IF promotes the growth hormone. But in the video about the cancer you stated precisely the opposite. Here we want the muscle to grow. In the other video, the motivation is for cancers not to grow. Is the growth hormone promoted or diminished due to IF?



  43. LIL RISKY FROM LOS on April 21, 2021 at 5:54 pm

    he mispelled muscles



  44. Giovanni A on April 21, 2021 at 5:57 pm

    Protein Protein Protein



  45. Kiss The Spirits on April 21, 2021 at 5:57 pm

    Thank you so much Dr. Berg. My diet is very much made by as much advice I can hear from you and your findings. The knowledge you provide I consider the most valuable to a healthy diet, to comfort in better well-being in daily life and for the preservation of ourselves until our aging days. Thank you again and may your teachings here continue to live on for the generations to come and know you. I give you my proud salute in gratitude.✌🏻



  46. D J on April 21, 2021 at 6:00 pm

    Big phara will not be happy with this doc. His advice can illuminate chronic long term disease from which they extract billions



  47. Paul Phillips on April 21, 2021 at 6:01 pm

    Great video…I’m finally listening and following- glucose down from 240 to 104 on keto and fasting…after 2 weeks- feel euphoric



  48. Ian McAleece on April 21, 2021 at 6:01 pm
