Some basics: Gradual weight loss (1 lb/wk) is better tolerated by the body. Rapid or starvation based loss first depletes your reserve carbs, then fat (which creates ketones). When your muscles are not receiving enough energy from carbs or broken up fat or dietary protein they begin to break down your muscles to get energy. You likely need closer supervision or you can hurt yourself.
