Not enough protein and a severe caloric deficit, and no weight training.

BTW - why do you want to lose muscle?
Less than 0.8g/kg bodyweight protien should result in muscle loss, and more than 500 calories below maintenance for a deficit.

Many athletes, including powerlifters, find their performance actually increases after approximately a week off an intense training regimen.
I'd say about two weeks is the most time you should take completely off; even then I would try to incorporate a little extra activity like an occasional pick-up game or taking the stairs instead of the elevators.
This is just from my experience; YMMV.
Keep your diet the same only a little lower calorie wise.
