Fasting means no caloric intake, the body can't store something it doesn't have. And in order to keep your body warm and moving, it has to burn
something, which is existing fat stores followed by muscle and other tissue.
FWIW I've been doing an intermittent fasting diet and have lost over 70lbs in the past 7 months. High of 270, was down to 193 as of this morning. It works for me.
