you wouldnt slow down your metabolism to such a degree with even 36 hours of fasting, that it would harm you or your goals, id say.
you have to remember. we are in shape (well most of us on the board) so our bodies arent doing normal processes like average/overweight ppl.

If one of us did do that long of a fast, it wouldnt be without "support." As in... BCAA's to help prevent muscle breakdown, lots of water to flush the system (which your body burns calories in order to process water so thatll keep your metabolism active) also add in green tea (antioxidents and also metabolism boosting properties) as well as Caffeine.

So if done properly there shouldnt be any negative affect on your metabolism.
