I watched this last night.it was very interesting but it frightened me to death.What do you do in life.Do you live for the moment or face years on a very strict diet which includes fasting on 600 calories twice a week.
I hope somebody can come up with some good answers on the forum.

Yes a decision to be made, and as the presenter highlighted, works for some better than others, but for those that it does, 2 x 600 calorie fast days a week could be a good trade off for 5 normal days and with added health benefits, it does give the individual options.

Like everything else nutritionists and scientists come up with, it needs more research, but I found it fascinating nonetheless.   :)
