1-2 days fasts are fine and healthy.
If you're extending them out near 10 days, your body will begin using it's muscle for energy. This should NEVER be a goal for anyone......except if you're expecting a starring movie role as a prisoner out Auschwitz.
Your goal should be to lose fat. Not muscle, not simply scale weight.....but fat.

Agreed.
Saying I lost X lbs. of whatever isn't really honest in the slightest. At this point, your body has already begun to break down muscle tissue for fuel.
