Young, healthy, 24 BMI males. Lost 3.7 kg body weight in a 3 day fast.
Resting metabolic rate reduced by 5.7 kcal/h (137 kcal/day) and fat oxidation increased by 0.6 g/h to 5.7 g/h (137 g/day). RMR after 3 day fast was 1630 kcal/day. Carb oxidation reduced 50%, protein oxidation non-significant reduction.
Glucose production down 63% after 3 days compared to overnight fast.
