Careful there with using bodyweight as your gauge. How much of that was fat versus muscle loss?

It's very likely that it was most of it. It's just how fasting works. Your body enters ketosis in a day or two and uses fat for fuel. Your body would have to be rather dumb to burn muscle at that point.

I don't have a good way to measure that, but if you have one let me know.
I can say that after all this, I was climbing hard 5.10s and easy 5.11s, and I'm 40, and I haven't been able to climb stuff like that since I was about 22.
