[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2143321, member: 6467"] [USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER] a shrinking waist is a wonderful thing. :-) On the subject of muscle loss. Muscle repair requires some "metabolic products" which you only get from protein (the details escape me at the moment). This means that if you are fasting, although you get most of your bodily requirements from the breakdown of fats there are some things that fat does not provide, so your body recycles a small amount of muscle. I don't think that the muscle loss is significant, but there is a bit. You are more likely to lose muscle because you are lacking in energy due to the fasting and your body doesn't think you need all that muscle when you aren't using it. :-) [/QUOTE]
