Wondering about starvation mode...

Hey - I just have a question. If you're sick and don't really eat much for a few days(like three days) does your body go into starvation mode that quickly? I'm pretty sure it takes longer, but I don't know.. And also, during those days would you lose a lot of muscle instead of fat? Just wondering.

Your body will not go into starvation mode that quickly. Your body is smart enough to adapt to changes. Starvation mode only happens if the damage has been inflicted over a long period of time. Also, you will lose water weight instead.

no, the body can take pretty good care of itself.  it is only after long abuse that the body will respond hormonally.

You won't lose muscle.  Just rest, drink fluids, eat what feels good if you can, and get well, and don't worry too much.  Try to eat nourishing, comforting things.  Your goal is to get well fast so you can get back to your healthy plan.
