So I went to the doctor today to get some blood work done. I have a history of Diabetes in my family and have been battling some extreme fatigue for the last couple of months.
I went to the KU health center and the doctor I saw started asking me about my diet and I just told him in general I'm eating more whole foods and trying to cut calories(I said nothing about fasting or how much I was cutting, I have about 1500-1800/day except my fast day). He then went on a lecture about hibernation/survival mode and the slowing of your metabolism. That just struck me as odd since in Eat Stop Eat, he said that every MD he's talked to has agreed with him that your metabolism could not slow down by calorie restriction.
