Or may be I should start off with one day...?? Any thoughts?? |
Absvan, you're going to lose muscle plain and simple.
The muscle simply will not survive without caloric intake. The muscle will be the first to be sacrificed, as your body will try dearly to hold onto the fat for future needs.
So in the end, you've lost muscle, while maintaining a disproportionate amount of body fat, all the while lowering your metabolism (less muscle means less calories burned).
