So like it’s ok so long as you consume multi-vitamins? Health side of GGD, help a gay out lol As long as she is getting proper nutrients, she is totally fine. Your body switches what it uses for fuel and burns fat instead. It's similar to the concept of ketosis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not if she is taking the proper supplements, and given she's doing this with doctor supervision, she is fine. Fasting is healthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEZ 6,227 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I'm just afraid that she's possibly on track to an eating disorder, if she doesn't already have one... Yes, I know there are plenty of people who have done extended liquid fasts and who don't have a poor relationship with food or self-image. But everyone I've known personally who has done extreme extended fasts like this was either covering up an existing eating disorder or starting their descent into one. But this being my first assumption is probably because I'm a restricting-type anorexic. And it makes me suspicious of similar disordered eating behavior in others where there might not actually be any. IDK. So I hope this turns out with her healthy and happy and safe and not like me or my friends. ⚡🐲 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn’t her body break down her muscle for fuel since she isn’t consuming proper amounts of protein? Or is that a myth? I need to start doing my own research lol this stuff suddenly became really interesting to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that a myth? I need to start doing my own research lol this stuff suddenly became really interesting to me I forget what the percentage is, but it's really small. The body looks for certain fuel sources first. But even on a diet or fast, the body first looks at fat. Muscle is usually the last resort. She definitely had a higher amount of fat so the body is going to use that first. And yes, even with keto, as long as you have enough protein, you maintain, and can even gain muscle. I myself did a keto bukj once. Trimmed any fat I had, gained muscle. My boyfriend also fasts quiet frequently. I think his longest was 11 or 12 days.

My boyfriend and I have a good amount of muscle, but also enough fat that it’s not exactly pleasing to our eyes. And he’s been trying to convince me on going Keto for a while to eliminate the fat that we don’t appreciate. But I’ve been hesitant because 1) I’m vegan and it seems almost impossible to go on a keto diet with my dietary restraints and 2) I’m scared of losing the muscle that I’ve worked hard to grow lol thank you so much for your insight tho, it made me reconsider his Keto approach lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure people have found plenty of ways to do it. And even if you were to figure that out and try keto, a person loses muscle on any diet, but it's very minimal. Even after my bulks when I do a cut, I "technically" lose some muscle, but it's barely perceptible. I honestly wouldn't worry about that. Also keto, assuming you adhere to it properly, the fat just flies off of you. A buddy of mine took my recommendation for keto and was on it for a little over a year and went from 365 to 250 where he's currently at. He just got back on it too to lose some more. Keto also does wonders for a variety of other things. Helps with anxiety and depression. Muscle soreness (boyfriend's tendonitis went away). Focus, etc. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several friends who have recovered from an ED or are in recovery and I've had the same experience. The thing is – she doesn't seem mentally well or stable enough for this to be a healthy decision. Her frequent breakdowns / episodes and the lack of proof that she's taking responsibility for herself or any steps towards actually getting better (instead of just deleting the posts the next day) leads me to believe that this is yet another form of self-destructive behavior.
