The idea that leaner individuals lose more lean body mass (LBM) than heavier individuals, to me, is inconsistent with some of the information I've read (including Fast5) stating that LBM is really only catabolized once you've been fasting for around 72 hours. Also, the same research indicates that test subjects that weight trained experienced only a negligible LBM loss even on an 800 calorie diet.
