Just need to input fewer calories than you use. A body at rest still uses calories to maintain basic life. So just keep them hydrated and add certain nutrients that aren’t in stored fat. Unfortunately your body can also use muscle as stored energy. If you are inactive, it will burn muscle more than you’d like. It’s expensive to keep around. So if you’re on starvation diet and not using them. No reason to keep them. The body burns them up. So in the end you’ll be lighter, but also extremely weak. The effort of rehabilitation may be as bad as trying to exercise and diet not in a coma.
Well then it sounds like all you gotta do to get it off the ground is figure out a way to prevent the body from metabolizing muscle tissue
Keep using it. On a more serious note, if you were in s medical coma for something like this, I suppose electrical simulation of the muscles could be done. Idk, not a mad scientist treating rich obese people.
Lol, I'm just picturing all those YouTube videos of dancing frog legs
Exactly! Not a freaky place to work at all. Nope.
That's called exercise.
In a medical coma though?
