[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 2092692, member: 468755"] Hi Dex not sure what you mean with long term fasting i.e [I]one long prolonged fast or small fasting periods for years. [/I] My understanding of the benefit of fasting is weight loss which is done by breaking down body fat and sending it to the muscles.When we sleep at night our body effectively goes into repair mode ([I]repairing the micro damage to muscles that has been done through out the day[/I]). It is illogical to think that the body will break down muscles to repair muscles when there is fat that can be used. o_O This is just an opinion: I think that this is the perceived effect "fast = muscle loss" because muscle loss can be seen in as little as 2 weeks if you stop excising and people have been attributing this to diet/fasting for years and it has just become a "[I]Known Fact" ;)[/I] :bag: [/QUOTE]
