I fail to see how you can lose fat very quickly whilst protecting muscle tissue. The only way to lose weight very quickly would likely be from seriously dropping calories.....which would result in a severe drop of carbohydrate. The weight loss is likely to be glycogen and water - hence the big drop in bodyweight after only a few days on the diet.
Muscle would obviously be spared due to the lack of carbohydrate.
Unless anybody can enlighten me, i fail to see how these sort of diets preserve muscle tissue. Anyone?
