Re: question for chrisb1


Hello menina,
...
The amount of weight you lose at the beginning of a fast is usually commensurate with the amount and type of fat that you, or anyone else has.
In other words the heavier someone is, and the more excess weight they possess, the more weight they lose within the first few days. This also depends on whether the fat is of the loose/soft and/or flabby kind (where they lose more) compared with hardened fat deposits where less is lost.


Hi Chris :),

I am just curious, would not fat loss in a fast be dictated by the energy needs expressed by the body in the form of "basal metabolism"?... the exact amount of calories burned in fat (and lesser amounts of protein) that the body is requiring and utilizing in energy?  That's what seems logical to me and anything else would seem contrary to nature. 

Also, and separately, based upon what i have read, i estimate our fat to protein tissue ratio of what we burn over a long fast to be about 8:1 or 10:1. Would you agree with this and do you have any sources to support it?

Complete agreement and no questions on any of your other points, thanks!
