So I weight 202 pounds right now, 6’1. A bit chubby.
Would it be a good idea to lose weight by fasting for a month or more?
I’d still take my supplements and maybe eat 60g of protein but that’s it.
How much muscle would I lose if any?
Fasting for 40 days safe?

no

you probably dont have anything to lose. if you do lift you'll lose a lot of muscle though
Nolan Robinson
youre a fucking idiot if you think fasting for a month would actually help your body. focus on fixing your body composition by lowering your daily intake of calories and count macros. get at least 80 g of protein a day, and maybe look into intermittent fasting. dont lose your muscle like a fucking fag, and work out every day
Brandon Peterson
Yeah I definitely do, I have chub on my stomach and some on legs. I don’t have much muscle to lose right now but I’d prefer not to lose any either way.
People have reported feeling amazing while fasting and if fasting doesn’t acrually make you lose significant amounts of muscle why not?
Would I actually lose muscle? I mean shouldn’t I be using up my fat for energy? And I’d still be getting some protein and all the vitamins and nutrients I need.
Angel Stewart
No, let your body get into that shape over time. And it'll take a while to get fit again. Just lower your daily intake of calories and work out. You don't need to be autistic about losing weight.
Leo Bennett
your body will burn through just about as much muscle as it would fat, and since you cant consume protein on a fast you wont have anything preventing muscle loss. literally just look into intermittent fasting for weight loss, consume lots of protein and work out. youll still lose muscle but if you want to lose your chub you have to be willing to look like a skelly for a while until you can bulk again
Gabriel Baker
>fast
>still eat tho
KEK no hope for you fatty
Carson Roberts
fasting will destroy your metabolism, and when you try and get back into lifting you wont be able to bulk without your body turning all your calories into fat, a fast isnt worth it if youre trying to change your body just count calories and macros and work out when you can
Jonathan Wilson
lol fat nigga gotta eat protein supplements on fast because big strong boys take sups
Caleb Brown
Only to not lose muscle.
240 calories a day might as well be fasting.
Aaron King
Nice bro science.
OP check out the archive and look through the latest /fast/ thread. Proper fasting with electrolytes will burn through more fat than muscle. Some muscle, yes but mostly fat. If your body burnt through equal parts fat and muscle you would never be able to gain any.
Julian Green
Would getting some protein help avoid that partial muscle loss?
Ryan Price
I was stuck between jobs and didn't eat for ~60 days
Went from 185 to 115
Went to the doctor and they said all my levels are normal
Every time I tell this story here people call bullshit, not willing to try to prove it to anyone this time so don't @ me
You will sleep 12-18 hours a day toward the end and be delirious but it's completely possible and you will not die
I don't think you have the willpower to hold out if you have access to food though, I only made it because I absolutely had to
Ryder Flores
Definitely safe so long as you listen to your body and get your electrolytes in. A good long fast has a number of profound health benefits outside of weight loss as well.

That isn't fasting - it's just a big deficit.
William Collins
>burn as much muscle as fat
Source?
Adam Nguyen
Maybe that’s a more accurate state,ent but it is pretty much a fast. The protein is there only so that I lose less muscle.
Also thinking of possibly doing a low dose of dnp.
Tyler Morgan
Your fat is food. If you have too much just stop eating for a few days.
99% of people fail caloric deficits. Studies show prolonged calorie deficits just continue to get harder mentally.
Cut 500 calories for 6 months lapse, balloon, start over another 6 months, think about food constantly, crave fucking everything.
Or
Fast, get your bitch ass through 2 days of hunger then be good and finish in a month?
Most on this board won't ever make it bc they are too bitch ass to fast.
Elijah Miller
THE FUCKING DEFINITION OF A FAST IS NO FUCKING CALORIES YOU FUCKING INCEL DONT CALL IT A FAST JUST CALL IT WHAT IT IS YOU FUCKING FAT RETARD
Joshua Price
Please don't listen to these people who are saying fasting isn't healthy. It's a great way to lose weight, and the growth hormone released from being in a fasted state is muscle sparing, so you will not lose as much muscle as you think. Given your size, I think a longer term fast like that is doable. Just drink water and make sure to get your electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium.

You can lose fat without losing any muscle, and you can actually lose fat and gain muscle simultaneously.
How long have you been lifting seriously? Because depending on how experienced you are affects how much of a deficit you can be on and still gain muscle.
Eat at a 20-25% caloric deficit to your TDEE, while eating enough protein, 0.75-1g/pound of body weight, i like to have too much than too little. and also follow a workout plan AND do daily cardio, not just to lose fat but for health too. 20 minutes a day of biking/jogging.

Why didn’t you go to a food bank?
