Typical protein loss for someone who had starved for 5 weeks would be about 3kg, and fat loss over the same period would be about 10kg (figures read off a graph showing the effect of starvation on the food stores of the body in "textbook of medical physiology" by Guyton and Hall)
OK OK pick us up on our Grammar or terminology if you like...the 'greater loss' might be from fat not muscle..but ANY muscle loss from starvation is bad and at 33% muscle loss to fat that is very detrimental to organ health. Perhaps it would be better to look at the bigger picture in terms of health rather than to score points of someones well meant advice to someone who was adopting an unhealthy if not downright dangerous life choice!!
