With intermittent fasting, it's about 70% fat 30% muscle mass loss. Combine a bean or legume with a grain, and you'll have a complete amino acid chain ie. complete protein. Most beans and legumes don't contain complete protein, uncluding lentils. If you don't consume complete protein, you will lose weight, but you will lose more muscle mass than otherwise.

Interesting.

I have no idea about the metabolic shenanigans, other than the need to avoid insulin spikes, which lead to a crash in blood sugar and massive cravings for calories. Refined carbs do this and are best eaten in small amounts if you must eat them at all. Your pizza base for example is likely made from white flour, which may be pleasant, but is not great for you if eaten too much and too regularly. Neither is the half bottle of wine that I had last night...

On the protein point, I eat meat most days of the week - not always loads of it, but some. On some days I might eat 300 grams of meat. I doubt I will lose much muscle by eating lentils on 3 days.
