Healthy evening
Yes, prolonged hunger can cause muscle loss
Starvation mode : can lead to muscle loss and trophy
Weight loss : losing more than 25% of body weight is often associated with significant muscle loss
Physical symptoms: other physical signs of starvation include weakness, fast heart rate , shallow breathing, thirst , constipation, dizziness. Skim may also become pale and loose , and eyes may sink in
It’s common to lose more muscle mass when losing weight, but that protein and exercise can help maintain muscle.
