I get eating one meal a day, no qualms from me on that. But long-term fasting? You do know that your body has to get protein from somewhere to repair itself. Also, that small amount of glucose you need to power parts of your brain comes from protein, so it will tear down muscle mass to get it.

I like much of what J. Fung says, but I think he is out-to-lunch, dangerously so, on fasting.

Also, remember "The Biggest Loser" effect? Extreme calorie deprivation/exercise led to severe and permanent reductions in metabolism. I'm just curious why you wouldn't think this would lead to the same situation.

I'm thinking that people need to try to think critically about what he is saying and do some research. Don't just guzzle down the koolaid just because you like Dr. Fung.
