Proteinâenergy wasting (PEW) is the state of decreased body stores of protein and energy fuels (that is, body protein and fat masses). This abnormality is often associated with diminished functional capacity related to metabolic stresses.
Starvation mode is a state in which the body is responding to prolonged periods of low energy intake levels. During short periods of energy abstinence, the human body will burn primarily free fatty acids from body fat stores.fter several days of fasting, all cells in the body begin to break down protein. This releases amino acids into the bloodstream, which can be converted into glucose by the liver. Since much of our muscle mass is protein, this phenomenon is responsible for the wasting away of muscle mass seen in starvation.
