I read it somewhere and just wanted to mkae sure there's nothing wrong with it:
In the first 3 days, the body is still using energy from glucose (losing fat) After that, the liver starts processing body fat. After 3 weeks the body enters in "starvation mode". At this point the body "mines" the muscles and vital organs for energy. The estimated limit of resistance is 60 days.

you can't gain weight from the fat you already have stored in your body because it's already stored as fat! Your other stuff sounds right, but I think it would depend on the individual how much glucose is in their body to be used up as energy.

The numbers sound about right. The body does start to use up muscles and vital organs after there is no body fat or glucose to process.

When your liver starts processing body fat you lose weight, not gain it. Where do you think its getting the fat from if you're on hunger strike ?
