    itll take a little time before your body will start the process of gluconeogenesis (turning muscle into glycogen) from severe caloric deficits so itll depend on how long your on this diet

    i got my information from this video

    correct me if my source is wrong

    Definition of a little time can mean 3 days. That's pretty quick. You could hit it in a day too.
    Your liver glucose stores are about what your brain needs if you sleep all day. 300-400 cal.
    3 days of doing low carb eating along with low calorie diet say 1200, not eating back exercise calories, and going in and doing a high intense spin bike session burning 800 calories almost 90% carbs.

    If you do the math, it doesn't take 0 food to accomplish this as Omar claims.

    Many high cardio folks doing not enough carbs and/or calories for their level of activity can accomplish it each and every week. 4 ozs a week, in a month you've burned off 1 lb of muscle mass.

    The math for muscle used in this manner, 600 calories per lb, compared to fat at of course 3500 cal per lb about.

    It was good to hear Omar NOT say the muscle glycogen could be used, many commenting on that show their lack of knowledge when they hit that one.
