A q.bio report. Basically MRI + DEXA + blood work + urinalysis. It's a few thousand dollars each go but much better value than doing all the tests as one off's (if you can even get them). I did not supplement with any drugs but your body does produce up to 1,250% more HGH in a long-term fasted state(!). You're also completely deprived of glycogens so your ability to perform anaerobic work to gain muscle is probably not going to happen without some more bio-hackery. I heard second hand that Tim Ferris did two long term fasts. One under medical supervision where he was confined to a hospital and lost significant muscle mass; another where he went about his normal routines and (surprisingly) didn't lose any notable mass. Which matches what we know about muscle atrophy in ICU patients for instance - confine someone to a bed and they're going to waste away.
