Yes, whenever I've done 48 hour fasts, I've had the same experience. This is due to the depletion of glycogen in your liver and muscles. At that point your body doesn't have the fat-burning machinery quite going yet, so you a

It's very likely that it was most of it. It's just how fasting works. Your body enters ketosis in a day or two and uses fat for fuel. Your body would have to be rather dumb to burn muscle at that point.

It's not like your body is going to eat its own muscle! It's not that stupid. The muscle loss is due to the normal wear and tear of daily activities. If you train hard during a prolonged fast, it's likely going to lead to mor

There is some good evidence (both studies and anecdotal) that there is some muscle memory in the sense that it's easier to regain muscle that was lost than to build it in the first place. So even if you lose some muscle during this who

I'm not able to look for articles on this right now, but I believe that it was shown that your overall daily intake of protein is more important than the time of ingestion.

What about water fasting for longer periods? Have you gone 24/48/72 hours without any food? I find that longer fasts tend to work better for me, since I end up eating more calories in the 8 hours window in a 16/8 IF regime. B

Yes, you are right. And humans commonly engaged in a feasting/fasting cycle of having too much/too little food. But we've pretty much stopped doing the fasting stage. Look up "autophagy". It's a beneficial bodi

Unfortunately the human body is quite a bit more complicated than that and a single article on examine.com is woefully inadequate at capturing the complexities. While people's metabolism doesn't seem to vary too much from person t

It doesn't really have a proof of anything in there - just some empirical observations and heavy hand-waving.

You'll have to go to the previous paper[1], where this Todd function is supposedly defined and...it's not defined there either. I mean, the whole thing is really sad and not something that I feel like talking much. Just give thing

Now can you imagine...in someone's eyes, you are the person they are not even sure if he likes them or appreciates them or not!

I think you might be conflating ketosis with ketoacidosis. Very different things.

Yes. It's quite easy to build up expressions one by one, whereas when you read those expressions, your eye and mind won't necessarily track through the same "derivation".

If you reduce the Formula 1 car's performance by as little as 25%, you would be able to get a much much higher mileage. Those things are so optimized that they break down much faster and easier.

If it's a temporarily biased coin, you can make some money off of it.

It's not so much about how much you can make but more about how much you need to make to stay afloat. It's a very different story depending on whether you have $0k in debt or $300k in debt.

I think you're wrong. Let's investigate the trigonometric functions from the point of view of differential operators. Those are essentially functions that take in functions and spit out functions. The operators we'll look at

This can be modeled fairly easy. Let's say we want to do X. In our estimation, it would take some amount of work E divided into effort P over time t (so E = Pt), to borrow language from physics. We estimate this quantity and set out to

A good first step would be to create a good life for them that they could always go back to in the event if such a crisis. If you are happy or at least content being by yourself, even if you get cheated on, you can get back to normal. If yo

Have you got checked for sleep apnea? Have you tried sleeping elsewhere? On a couch? What about sleeping in a semi-seated position? Would that work? How's your weight? Does it go up or down? Finally, if you are in bed for 30 minutes an

No. This 1985 paper you reference talks about a logical argument for why there is no paradox, whereas the discussed paper is talking about how the uncertainty in the parameters is enough to yield something that is not a paradox.

Sometimes we even leave it as "i" instead of "0 < i < n" or "i = 1 to n". Sometimes the range of the summation doesn't even need to be determined in intermediate steps.

You have something similar in mathematics. Recurrence relations. Since we are dealing with a sort of time difference inside a computer, something like "x = x + 1" can be interpreted as "the value of x at the next time unit is

The angular diameter of stars that are light-years away are really really small. Yet they are visible to the naked eye and cameras all the time. So it's not just about the angular diameter.

Replace "comment out" by "turn off the electricity for" and maybe we can binary search it.

Anecdotally, I've found that many people who are health-conscious come from a place in their lives where they were very unhealthy. So it became a thing for them to try out everything in order to get better. This should improve memory a
