can it just be 22 hours? like 6 pm til 4′pm the next day or is that pointless?
Yes starvation ” …
Yes starvation “mode” exists. The metabolism gets slower after a while on a calorie deficit, BUT the metabolism takes time before it slows, it does NOT happen in just a day, actually the metabolism gets raised initially during the first few days before it starts to slow. This is probably because the body wants to have energy to go look for food.
shortened down my …
shortened down my explanation greatly.
Turning the muclei …
Turning the muclei “on full speed” (by adding amino acids) means building muscle faster if it “has been bigger” since a certain amount of satellite cells can support a certain size, anything smaller than that and it will quickly regain its former size due to the amount of satellite cells working. Thats what I mean with “if you lose muscle on one day in a week” will you lose muscle that week?
Sorry if I dont explain better, there is a limited amount of text to write in a comment and I have
We know that taking …
We know that taking things like protein supplements or essential amino acids when fasted stimulates muscle protein synthesis greatly when on an empty stomach. This could mean that the body “knows” there has been muscle loss and compensates later on if food is supplied. I am not saying that is so, just stating a hypothesis of mine. One thing that makes the body “know” how much muscle it has is probably how many nucleui resides in the muscle cells (the protein synthesis factories).
The answer is …
The answer is really not that simple. There has not been any long term studies. Most of what we know from research is what happens acutely in the body. Also, to be exact, muscle wasting and fat burning is something that happens 24 hours a day, just as muscle building and fat accumalation is going on 24/7 at the same time. Fasting decreases fat accumulation resulting in fat loss. It also decreases protein synthesis, resulting in muscle loss. This is Acutely!
yes,the body breaks …
yes,the body breaks down proteins (muscle) first when starved as it uses less energy/easier than breaking down fat,so your muscles waste first,hence starving people with fat bellies and thin arms/legs.excecise burns fat because the muscles are in use and need it,so the fat gets broken down instead

I just came accross this site,I do this anyway!I have been for a few years now,mainly due to suffering from chronic pancreatitis and functional bowel disorder,I usually go fo 3-4 days then have something light.Still overweight though!weight goes up and down by silly ammounts,last 6 month went down 40kg and back up 20kg’s,i dont eat meat,anything fried,has to be bland as possible to avoid upsets.I do however drink a fair ammount of cola and have supplements on the non fast days,never hungry
Brad you ROC! I am …
Brad you ROC! I am currently fasting 3 times per week…because I have found I feel way better on my fast days. I am also not making it a hard and “fast” rule…but It’s not that hard. I notice I’m never hungry anymore so I can eat way healthier and have NO craves NONE. You sir have saved my life. I’m documenting my weight loss and will share that with you in time. EAT-STOP-EAT has saved my life. There are not enough words to express my gratitude…..THANK YOU BRAD!!!!!

Hi Dr. Mark,
The same as i asked you llast time. Please define your definition of starvation mode then please give an example of where this occurs.
And please don’t use disease states as an example.

Sorry , Brad, but …
Sorry , Brad, but starvation mode DOES exist. This is a natural protective mechanism. Anorexia patients are in starvation mode.
You have to be careful of sources of information people. Too many so called experts trying to sell you something on the internet.

look into the Warrior Diet which incorporates controlled fasting everyday and 1 main meal a night that follows the bodys rhythmic sympathetic nervous system. im finding it works for me and i have more energy. just need to stay on it longer for more benefits like Brad is saying. Ori Hofmekler has vids on here as well. good luck!
The question you …
The question you should ask is:
Does fasting twice a week make me lose muscle each week?
In the fasting day …
In the fasting day the body doesn’t lose muscle?
Brad I just want to …
Brad I just want to say thank you so much for your book and advice. We as a nation have been lied too for so long about fitness and diet. I’m am so happy I have found you. I just have one little question though. I’ve been fasting everyday from 11 pm until about 2pm the next day. I work from 3:30pm to 2am. I find this easier for me than going a full 24 hours. Before I would eat when I got off from work. Very bad. Is this form of fasting going to work for me and have same benefits? Your opinion?
