not an expert in fitness, but i guess your best strategy is to just focus on losing fat first and then start building muscle

i've had periods of barely eating anything and i wouldn't say this is true. since most fat/overweight guys have more fat than muscle, it seems logical that you'll still lose more fat in the process.

again, i might be talking nonsense since i never got into this matter properly, so take this with a grain of salt

2 days fast aint gonna cause muscle loss

in my case, it was 3-4 weeks with a 500 cal intake max weekly, a couple of times in a row (with a week or so of normal eating in-between). i'd say most of the weight i lost was accumulated fat. idk about op's situation, though

Im going for 5 -7 days
ur gonna bitch out but still not super bad muscle loss, your body will target fat as its just a better fuel source. eating your own body takes actual starvation

you should just go in a extreme deficit tbh instead of fasting, 2 weeks of bring pretty hungry vs 1 week of being in intense discomfort :ogre:
