[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1552053, member: 6467"] Me again :cool: Second article raises a very good point. "“Practically every process that happens in the body needs a vitamin, mineral or amino acid, and if you don’t eat for long periods then this can affect how the processes work. If you don’t eat protein (the main ingredients of hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters and important for cell structure), your body will break down muscle in order to recycle the components. So muscle breakdown accounts for quite a bit of the weight loss in fasting diets, rather than fat,” the registered dietician and [I]Low Fat Diet[/I] author explained." Perhaps a water fast is too aggressive, and a small amount of protein and fat should be taken each day. The question is how much? [/QUOTE]
