:mjlol:BRUH! Muscle loss, aka Catabolism, does not happen in major quantities in such a short fast. What you might think is muscle loss is really

a lack of muscle fullness due to a low sodium content in your blood. Not eating and not taking electrolytes means you will slowly lose sodium content, and sodium is what

holds water weight, giving you "size" per se. Next, you will deplete glycogen, a major component of feeding your muscles while you work (aka move), and glycogen depletion

leaves you looking mad flat as well. Check any low-carb dieter and see how sucked the fukk up they look.

The major caveat though is muscle memory is greater than all of that. Whatever you thought you lost during a fast will come back in very little time once you resume consumption

of food. Your muscles will not disappear, though you may feel a tad bit weaker during the first few fasts. Muscle loss to a serious degree is bro science. Don't believe the bullshyt.
dosnt lypogen deplete after 60 hours. I think 96 is too extreme

Breh, it's GLYCOGEN, and it depletes at the rate of activity. If you are on a 72 hour fast and you hitting weights and cardio on all those days, you might be done before the end of day two.

The upside is it is easily replenished, all you have to damn do is consume some carbs, and you are good. Don't even worry about that. The only thing you should be concerned about
during fasting is the lack of electrolytes, and there are non-caloric ways to get those so you don't become sick as a dog.
