I have tried extended fasting a handful of times and found it to be a miserable experience. I conclude from this that the body does not store fat in order to use it as a reserve energy source. Therefore its purpose must be as a reserve source for raw materials. Raw materials used in the maintenance of soft tissue.
What is a good estimate of the bodies daily demand for these raw materials? 50-100 grams?
If correct then the 20kg of excess fat I have to lose should take 200-400 days if I stick to a diet of skim milk and orange juice which avoids consuming new fat. That would be 1-3kgs of fat loss in a month, which would not be very visible on a scale if I would also be increasing lean mass at the same time.
I wonder if there are ways to increase the bodies demand for fat? Body builders increase demand for protein by intentionally damaging their lean tissue with exercise. Is it possible to intentionally damage soft tissue and force a higher rate of regeneration and increase daily demand for fat?
