    How long does it take your body to go into starvation mode? Months, weeks, days?
    An obese Scotsman known as "Mr AB" fasted for over a year and lost just under a pound a day, if that helps. He kept it off for several years.

    You may have to define your terms ;-)

    The other way to preserve (and build) this lean mass is to exercise - particularly resistance / weight training. You burn energy while exercising, and build/retain muscle which inturn also burns more energy. This definitely answers the question of whether you are better off not working out and eating less... unless you are intentionally going for the 'skinny fat' look of course. :)

    I hope that helps a little bit.

    Cheers,

    Yup!
    Dont do the same mistake i did. i lost alot of muscle when fasting, and now im having trouble bulking up again, while trying to lose my love handles.
