what goes first???????????

Question

which goes first body fat or muscle mass.?
when you starve yourself which goes first fat OR MUSCLE
please do tell

Answer 1

Fat goes first because it is easy to burn. Fat is our body's way of storing food resources when we over eat, so it can be used later. Muscle will atrophe, become useless, but you won't loose muscle. Starving is just plain NOT HEALTHY for any reason.

Answer 2

When you starve yourself, the initial weight loss is mostly water. From there on, you lose more muscle because the body feeds on itself to get protein. A starvation diet is about the worst thing you can try to lose fat.
