Question about Fat burning / protein burning ratios during and after Water fast.
Greetings to all,
I have a very specific question about how much fat and how much protein (in fat% vs. protein % format) we would burn day by day on a ten day
Water Fast and even up to the 40th day. I have seen a graph on a "natural hygiene" site, but i am hoping for a very specific answer here day by day (ie: day 1, 50% carbs, 25% fat, 25% protein, day 2: 65% fat 35% protein, day 3: .... For our example, say we have a 200 pound man and say the average bmr is 2500 calories. For the sake of simplicity, let us say that this individual does no exercise at all during the fast..
I feel i have a very rough amateur's idea (overall thru ten days perhaps 80-85% fat, 15-20% protein), but i would like to have a better understanding. I know all of this would vary from person to person, etc, but in that case please provide an average.
As a second part of this question, what about if a person did a 10 day
Water Fast then 5 days of juice only (say an average of 800 calories / day), continuing with the 2 daily walks of 1 hour each. Clearly the ketosis will be severely disrupted. Now with a pretty sizable calorie deficit, what fat burning vs protein burning ratios are we talking about in these 5 days of juicing?
As a separate question, in the same water then juice fast if the person was walking briskly every day (say 65% of max heart rate), 1 hour per session, 2 sessions per day, what % of fat burning vs protein burning would take place each day during the period of exercise, and would this profoundly affect the fat:protein burning ratio in the remaining 22 hours of the day?
What about if there was a single 3 hour walk each day instead, what would the ratios be then as i have read that the body begins to burn a higher % of protein after 45 minutes to an hour. Would the 2nd and 3rd hours be heavily into protein burning, or on a comparable level to the first hour?
I have read that to aquire it's needed protein, the body takes the dead and damaged and diseased and "tumored" tissue first, (also
parasites and such?), before any healthy muscle tissue, but i would like to verify here if this is true. Would the body strictly avoid healthy muscle tissue entirely until all of the bad stuff was gone or might it take from healthy tissue (ie: muscle mass) at the same time as the bad tissue at random?
Assuming the body takes only the bad stuff for it's protein demands (if this is indeed true), is it not to be considered an outrageously good thing to burn a pound or two of protein on a fast? .... and if so, why all the fuss about "protein loss"?
Is there a way to gauge how much "bad tissue" we have left and fast and exercise accordingly?
Another: if we burn toxins, what type of "nutrient" do these burn as?... is it protein?
A final question quite a bit off topic: if we eat 10 grams of excess carbs that our body doesn't use and those 10 grams (40 calories worth) are converted to fat in our bodies, does it get stored as 10 grams of fat (now 90 calories worth)or does it get stored as 40 calories worth of fat (about 4.5 grams of fat? What i am driving at is... would we have to work 2.25x harder to eliminate that fat than we would have if we could have burned it before it converted?
