> effects of the caloric restriction protocol on the muscle mass of human subjects Some think it's a myth. It makes sense if you think about it, the body uses a lot of energy and resources to build muscle (and tendons, and to mineralize bones) only to destroy it right away at the first intake dip, not even considering the primary source for energy storage, which is fat? Caloric restriction burns A LOT of fat. It's why it's there in the first place. https://www.dietdoctor.com/does-fasting-burn-muscle https://www.dietdoctor.com/does-fasting-burn-muscle
