How much muscle mass can you lose in a week?

2 lb. maybe 3 if you're really humping it

>I will be starving for the next 5 days
Haha why? If all you have is water, you'll feel absolutely terrible at first, but then your body switches into some emergency conservation mode and it's not as bad any more. The downside is you'll feel mentally handicapped, weak, and sluggish in general

You'll only be in gluconeogenesis for a day or two. If you stimulate the muscles it will tell your body to hold onto it. Day 3-4 you'll enter ketosis and be burning adipose tissue (fat) and producing ketones in your blood for brain fuel. You'll feel "hungry" for the first few days and when day 4 comes around you should have a spout of energy. HGH will go up and test. levels.
Don't be a normie, this is easy shit. Learn the science and don't trust most of /fit/. Humans have gone without food for extended periods of time just like all other animals. It's part of our evolution.

And there will be literally nothing to eat?

Like this anon >>41214568 pointed out your body will do everything it can to keep your brain working and humans are actually quite good at this compared to other animals, and this has been crucial for our survival because we maintain our ability think and to search for food even after prolonged starvation

A small pack of dry food. Mostly carbs. Lots of snow everywhere so we have endless water i guess.

>the prolonged fasting meme

Your body needs protein, it won't get it out of fat.

Not a single person with a respectable amount of muscle mass has ever done weeklong fasts as diet.
Maybe once a year as detox.

This fasting meme is spread by people that have been casually lifting for a few months and now think it's somehow a good diet because their 12 inch biceps seems to be maintained when they do it.

I've never been to any guerrilla or survival training that only lasts a week. What specific school?

OP was just asking what will happen to his muscle mass if he starves for five days. This wasn't a diet question and nobody's suggesting starving for weight loss purposes, OP just happens to be facing a short starvation period for his military service. And the answer to OP's question is five days of starving won't decrease his muscle mass significantly because his body will mainly burn fat for energy during that time. Also, OP said he'll have some dry food with him so he's not actually starving, just spending five days on very few calories. His muscles will be just fine.

Then I mistook you for one of the shills of said "diet" that frequent this board a lot these days.

My bad.

>>41215230
dry food will probably last for 1 day and we get to kill a reindeer on the 5th so i guess it's 3-4 days of starving

>>41215037
>Your body needs protein
