That was kind of tongue and cheek (both excellent protein sources by the way) I trust that my body will recycle protein from places that are non critical first. Also, it has been my experience that It's fairly easy to build muscle. The amount of total protein "loss" over the course of a few days is minute and probably good for you.
These are just my uninformed opinions.
However, I do agree, if you have no adequate fat supplies to support extended fasting than you probably shouldn't do it. I would consider extended fasting a length exceeding 3-5 days.
More opinion, take it for what it's worth. I'm willing to admit I could be exactly WRONG and am willing to change if required. |
