Eli5 How did the morbidly obese guy(Angus Barbieri) who fasted for one year not lose all of his lean body mass(muscles)? Does the body actually work to preserve muscle mass and not break it down when fasting as a morbidly obese person?

He didn’t entirely fast. He took a few supplements one of which gave him amino acids, which your body uses to make/repair muscles.
