    I think muscle is the easiest form of food for the body to use first..

    By that logic, though, our body would eat up muscle before fat in every day activity too, which makes no sense.  That's why we are able to retain muscle mass while on extended caloric deficit.

    Sorry, I was referring to the state of starvation, the prof I heard was commenting on why 2 guys survived at sea for a month without food or water.

    Yes... That says 382 day fast.
    Well what were the details of this?

    "A 27-year-old male patient fasted under supervision for 382 days and has subsequently maintained his normal weight." Doesn't that mean fasting is useless for losing fat?


    Thank you for reading the article. Oh wait. You didn't. He lost over 250 pounds.
    Where does it say that? copy and paste it

    Page 2 of the PDF, which teh abstract came from:

    Body weight loss
    During the 382 days of the fast, the patient's
    weight decreased from 456 to 180 lb. Five years after
    undertaking the fast, Mr A.B.'s weight remains
    around 196 lb.

    he lost 9 kgs of body weight in 17 days , after 17 days the politicians agreed to the terms of anna


    Tommy, you come up with the oddest statements and put them out as fact....

    Hate to burst your bubble stp, but he must have drunk water over those 17 days or been on an IV drip. That's far longer than a human can survive without fluid.


    he did not drink water and eat any food during his fast but when he went unconscious doctors injected fluid to keep him alive
