RE: Was I dying or was it all in my head? (Part II)
Fasting more than three days is okay and may be beneficial. After three days the body changes to ketosis mode and stops burning muscle once carbohydrate stores have depleted in the organs. This is why someone can fast for weeks and have more energy than some other people. But of course pay attention to your body as we are all different in nature and our imbalances. Also suggest intermittent fasting for a few days monthly , more or less. This is what I do and I find it to work wonders.
Fasting ketosis in a non-keto-adapted person can still affect muscle loss. It's fine if you are already low carb or fast fairly regularly, but can be dangerous for high carb dieters.
Yes true. Good to balance things however we may.
Have to check on you too :)
