@ManMundra Thank you Sir for listing down your current diet and goals. After reading your tweets in response, putting down my thoughts.
What are the adaptations if fasting is prolonged to the point of starvation? A typical well-nourished 70-kg man has fuel reserves totaling about 161k kcal
@ManMundra Stored fuels suffice to meet caloric needs in starvation for 1 to 3 months.
In 24 hours of fasting, catabolism of protein stores is triggered + fatty acids to keep up with glucose levels of blood. 75gms of muscle is broken down in the early stages of starvation.
@ManMundra So protein catabolism does take place and may lead to loss of essential Lean Body Mass (muscle mass), and the tone of your body over a long fasting duration of 4 months.
One needs to know how much of your current diet has total carbs, protein and fibre with respect to your goal
@ManMundra So will the body to balance Amino Acids will recycle my old tissues and muscles to get its requisite protein requirement - yes, at the cost of some essential muscle protein and lack of building up new muscle mass which is essential to thrive.
@ManMundra Your health goals can be simply be achieved with a more sustainable, balanced diet approach :)
