If you cut off all food intake for <96h no muscle loss will occur. You will lose water weight, glycogen, and fat (unless you are very low bf% already).
If you cut off water for 96 h you will most likely die.
There may be some autophagy related benefits.
GH boost increases is a complete utter cope and has to do with FFA mobilization and oxidation.
If you wanna lose weight, you can achieve same thing with caloric deficit.

This is not rocket science

I learned that growth hormone increases lipolysis. Am I wrong or what
Or are you just referring to the mobilization of free fatty acids to the liver for beta oxidation

 

[DrTony]

You are correct. GH is NOT anabolic.

autophagy related benefits

Does it have to be dry or water fast for autophagy?

is a complete utter hope

Complete utter hope??

I meant cope. You need not cut water for any potential health-related benefits unless you wanna commit suicide.

It says that the 5 day fast resulted in a significant increase in GH pulse. Which you said is cope.

You are correct. GH is NOT anabolic.

What? GH stimulates amino acid uptake and increases muscle mass. At least that's what I learned
