The events of the first two phases (of starvation) occur even during relatively short periods of fasting or dieting, but the third phase occurs only in prolonged starvation and can end in death. There are those who would argue that anytime you are depriving your body of regular and quality nutrients, that you are not in the healthy zone. http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/ap/vdgconcepts/digestive/reading5.mhtml Aug 07 06, 10:41 AM
