now when does fasting become starvation let’s talk about that

an average non-overweight person is carrying around

about a hundred thousand calories of fat on their body okay 100,000 they’re only

carrying around about 1700 calories of stored sugar

but a lot of fat and that’s someone that’s not even

overweight now let’s say that person weighed 150 pounds

okay on average and this is a very rough estimate a person that’s 150 pounds

is going to be burning about a thousand to two thousand calories

per day now it could be a little less could be a little bit more but roughly

about between a thousand and two thousand and it really depends on the

person’s age their activity level how much muscle

they have there’s a lot of variables but let’s just take an average 1500

calories okay we divide that by a hundred thousand

we get 67. 67 days of calories to live off of because the

difference between fasting and starving during

fasting you’re living off your fat fuel when you’re starving

you’ve already tapped out your fat now you’re living off your muscle and

your organ you’re turning those two into fuel

so this is a person that is not necessarily overweight like an average

person there are people that have a hundred

pounds of extra fat 200 pounds of extra fat i know one guy

that weighed 600 pounds okay so obviously

they can fast for a lot longer hypothetically

the world record for the person who fasted the longest

it was over a year so really depending on how much fat you have

will determine how long you can fast and it’s interesting because some people

kind of freak out if they just eat one meal a day they

think they’re going to starve or if they have to fast 48 hours realize

that an average person has a tremendous amount of

potential energy fat calories to survive well before they start to

starve okay so when you’re fasting you’re not hungry okay when you’re

starving you are starving you’re very very hungry

when you’re fasting you’re calm you’re serene

when you’re starving you’re gonna be irritable when you’re fasting your be

focused when you’re starving you’re going to be

almost an apathy when you’re fasting you actually spare

muscle so the body protects the muscle okay so it’s not going to use that for

fuel when you’re starving you start to develop

atrophy of the muscle so you have muscle wasting

and you’re also a bit hyperactive when you’re fasting you have a lot of energy

when you’re starving you are fatigued when you’re fasting your body conserves

nutrients when you’re starving you create all

sorts of nutritional deficiencies i mean like they’re called classical or

major vitamin deficiencies vitamin b1 deficiency which is berry berry

and with that comes all sorts of additional symptoms

pellegra that’s a vitamin b3 deficiency scurvy vitamin c deficiency rickets

vitamin d deficiency so you have many many different

symptoms coming up from this when do you know that you’re starving

versus fasting well when you start to develop some of these symptoms

subjectively you will know and this whole thing

depends on how much fat that you have to run your body on

and the nutrient reserves and i do recommend

when you fast you take your basic nutrients so you never

have this being a risk factor right here all right there you go thanks for
