Ok this is my first post but I was always a lurker and have read alot of the posts. =)

anyways, I don't get why they say that 5 days or so of starving yourself, your body stores fat and burns muscle..

And ketosis, which is a result of restricting carbs.. Burns fat

I would think that starving yourself for 4 days would force your body to make ketones and burn fat the same way...

Not trying to promote starvation diets here, this is just how I would see this lol... I don't understand what the difference is and I was just wondering why..
