If you don't eat food will it burn all the fat cells? will you pass?

I know it sounds stupid, but I'm curious. I mean, when a person starves, their body will start to literally eat itself after a while, hence the weight loss and gaunt/starved look. I'm assuming that fat cells would be the first to go, although there's probably more protein in muscle tissue.

Sorry, this is getting kind of gruesome...

Anyways, I don't want to die or starve myself or anything, but would fasting as much as possible the 1-10 days before the test help burn more THC-storing fat cells, or would it just fuck up your body and hinder the effects of the exercising/following the dilution method?

I guess theoretically you could just replace the red meat eating with creatine supplements and do them both no problem, but does not eating make your body not benefit from the exercise as much or anything?


If fasting helps the process at all that would be sweet. If I tried this I would be taking supplements still while exercising and drinking of course, I just wouldn't eat anything.

what do you think?

Fasting is a way of detoxifying the body,But your body will only burn so much body fat before it starts to become catabolic and start eating away at valuable lean muscle mass.

thanks sticky!

any idea where that point is?

Fasting will lower your metabolism which will slow the rate your body detoxifies itself. Regular exercise and a healthy diet will increase your metabolism and flush your system the fastest.

You don't want to burn fat cells near testing time (1 week) because the metabolites in the fat tissue(where thc metabolites are stored) are released into the bloodstream and will end up in your urine. It's better to eat big and be lazy during the week before a test.

On the day of the test empty your bladder before giving a sample. Peeing first into the toilet and giving a midstream sample is another tip.

Good luck

So does eating big and being lazy allow your body to build up fat cells over the ones where the THC metabolites are stored? Thus effectively blocking as many metabolites from escaping?

Also, I had exactly a week to be clean when I found out about this..... If I'm planning on using the dilution method on test day, does it matter if I keep exercising up until 3 or so days before the test?

I'd love to hear from FBR on this one.
