I was wondering what gos on inside the human body when you have no calories for one day. I would asume your body would deplete all carbohydrate stores and you would drop a pound possibly. I also wonder how long it takes before your body truely begins to starve and eat at its own muscles. How much damage could one day witout food posibly do? And what?

If you don't eat for one day what does your body begin to do? Just one day?

I am curious about this too. On weekends I sometimes sleep in and miss breakfast and my mid-morning snack.
That which does not kill me makes me stronger.

Not too much, just don't let it become a second day.
Are you thinking of QOD'ing or something?

Just make it up in your other meals. This happens to me very infrequently (e.g. if i'm out bboying and don't get in until 3am) but i simply make up a calorific protein shake and consume the calories i would have had from any missed meals in that.Originally Posted by rhollan

You will go into ketosis, at which time your body will be using it's stored fat for fuel.
One day w/o food should be fairly harmless. You'll prolly feel great the next day.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

IDK... doing intermittent fasting, I feel pretty great.Originally Posted by Zachary53088
Maybe because fat oxidation goes up when you fast for a short period of time, even if it makes you cranky.

I fast for 25 hours twice a year for religious reasons.
I come out of it ok every time, although I feel physically uncomfortable (headache, fatigue, etc...) after the 18 hour mark.
The key is to eat a lot of protein and complex carbs before beginning the fast, and to not overload when it ends.

Fasting produces euphoria. Your body doesn't have to spend energy digesting food, and you get an energy kick. Eastern religions have taken advantage of this for centuries. It becomes unpleasant after a significant amount of time.Originally Posted by Zachary53088

Keytosis!
Ketosis, just because of what it is, is a secondary condition. The process that leads to it begins when the animal, for whatever reason, stops eating. This action is the primary factor that must be addressed. Without this initial act, ketosis would not happen at all. And it must be dealt with quickly, because when the animal stops eating, the sudden lack of an external energy source causes it to turn for survival to its own body's reserves for a replacement source of energy. These reserves are in the form of fatty tissue.
So I guess that means that your body will use its own fat reserves for energy.
Keytosis!
