ABC Catalyst episode: "The Truth About Fasting" - will air 27 July 2021

Post by OzSport »

For those in Australia (or who have VPN :D), Catalyst will be airing a special episode about fasting on 27 July 2021!

There isn't yet a specific web page for the episode, just a general blurb about it on the show's main page (https://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/); here's what the blurb says:

"COMING SOON - The Truth About Fasting
Air Date: Tuesday 27 July, 8.30pmIntermittent fasting is growing in popularity. To better understand the benefits and impacts of these diets on our bodies, dietician Dr Joanna McMillan tracks five Australians fasting over six weeks."

Good idea, but i am not sure 6 weeks is long enough to see much difference.

Of course, they may be measuring internal things.. and thus six weeks may be plenty.

But if fasting for that period of time had any serious benefit, I think we would all have heard about it decades ago.

We have had a natural form of fasting in place for centuries as access to food was not always readily available.
Well before there was a “supermarket on every corner”  
Now it just go to isle seven, the meat isle instead of  “if you can’t catch the rabbit you do not get to eat the rabbit”
Most of our natural survival / hunting and gathering skills are well and truly forgotten.
