Ok Peanut..the link to the Video that Marty gave us shows a Dr. refuting claims by Jillian Michaels in regard to losing weight by intermittent fasting..may not have medical reasearch to back it up but its common sense stuff..If you took the time to watch it then you would know this is the Wheat..not the chaff..so to say.. I have subscribed to this Dr's videos and such...no cost to do so..he makes perfectly good sense to me...I'd say he is worth the time to watch..

i watched the video earlier the whole way through and found so many errors and misinformation that I gave up writing it all down .
Basically it is not intended to educate and inform about nutrition and health but rather to refute Jillians claims about fasting and weight loss .
The video attempts to cover a lot of complex topics in a short period of time and thus is pitched at an extremely basic superficial level regarding physiology and metabolism . There is so much left out and some of his comments are either factually incorrect or misleading due to the somewhat simplistic explanation about autophagy and Insulin etc.
He even states (9.42 minutes ) that 'different amounts of Insulin is dependant on the quality of the food ' which is of course complete nonsense. Insulin production is dependant on the presence of Carbohydrates and sugar in our food ...quality has little to do with it .Anyone with a blood glucose monitor can demonstrate this for themselves.
Sorry max I guess we'll have to agree to disagree about the quality and accuracy of the information in the video .
