Fat in the body is stored energy. So, when your body needs the energy, it uses the fat cells for energy, not muscle.

And, you said 'improper dieting' can result in the 2:1 ratio. Poor nutrition and starvation can do that to you, yes. However, nowhere has anybody told him to diet improperly. I gave the advice of 6 small meals a day to maintain his metabolism, and 500 caloric deficit/day and he will lose 1lb/week, well within the general dieting guidelines. Losing 5lbs in over a month is NOT considered crash dieting. His metabolism COULD be only 1600 Calories, he did not provide us with that information however.
