[QUOTE="Bebo321, post: 1246861, member: 68730"] Hi there, I was interested to watch the film below (apologies if you watched it too). I find it interesting that (according to the evidence provided in the clip) there is an observable difference in the slowdown of metabolic rate between those who 'diet' vs fast. That is, when fasting the body's metabolic rate doesn't decline - in fact it increases (at least initially) What are your thoughts? Regarding the very low calorie (let's face it pretty much fasting diet) - I wonder if preferable results are evidenced by the twin cycle hypothesis? (I've attached the Counterpoint study - p271 has the info) [URL]http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/documents/BantingDiabeticMed.pdf[/URL] Basically, observations suggest that a fast (mimicking bariatric surgery) puts the liver into overdrive - in that it is constantly fuelling the body (so there is a negative energy balance). After 7 days, fat loss from the liver constitutes 30% of overall weight loss and insulin sensitivity is normalised. (You'd probably be ready to keel over too!) With regards to a diet's effectiveness at improving BGs/insulin resistance (either by maintaining a low calorie/carb approach or by making a more drastic cut in calories), I wonder if perhaps there is something about a constant negative energy balance that helps 'reset' the liver?
