Synopsis
How the body fuels a month without food—and what that reveals about metabolism
A Study of Prolonged Fasting presents detailed observations from a controlled fasting experiment. It explains how energy comes from different body stores and how these sources shift over time. The text emphasizes careful measurement and interpretation of heat production, energy loss, and the role of urine.
- How glycogen, fat, and protein contribute to daily energy—and how their roles change during a prolonged fast.
- How researchers calculate total energy loss from heat, urine, and other bodily outputs.
- How data from the subject are organized into tables and charts to illustrate metabolism over 31 days.
- How mental and physical tests relate to physiological data in fasting conditions.
