because starving your body to fuck before starting a training regieme for something quite hard that you've never done before is entirely sensible.

course it will.
You know starvation diets destroy muscle, right? the stuff you're going to need for running?

you can't do that much in 2 weeks, surely?
and you can build it back up, it's not permanently gone.

In a year I haven't come close to rebuilding any significant strength in the arm I broke
and that was only about 6 weeks of "nothing"

So, oh god yes you can. And no, it's not permanently gone, but the timescales you are operating on you won't get it properly back.

don't worry, i am eating the recommended amount of protein and vitamins along with the water
it's just a quick new year kickstart, nothing else.
