[QUOTE="Rashaddd, post: 4802935, member: 592162"] Pretty much definitely mostly muscle. You're starving your body, and then likely eating a lot, and then going into a state of rest. Basically you were 1. waking up, your body's glucose levels are very low 2. you eat a little bit, this tells your body to wake up and increases your metabolism 3. that little bit probably wasn't even a 'good' little bit, and your body used it all up in an hour 4. metabolism is still increased for the next few hours at least, while your body still has very low glucose levels. What does it do? Eats the most readily available nutrient stored in your body- muscle. All day. 5. at dinner you probably eat more than you should in the first place because you're hungry from not eating all day. 6. you go to sleep and that thousand calories worth of food you just ate is mostly stored as fat, because you are now inactive and its all your body can do with it unless you lift weights, but even then, at least half of it will be turned into fat. 7. rinse and repeat. Now you probably lost SOME fat, maye 10-20% maybe a little more, and yes, its POSSIBLE your body doesn't react to those circumstances EXACTLY as I described, but for the most part...it does. And its why starving yourself, and especially skipping meals/not eating breakfast are the worst things you can do if you're trying to lose weight. [/QUOTE]
