In this episode, Sarah & Ashley bring back Kathleen Stewart to continue their discussion of the Minnesota starvation experiment and the importance of eating enough food. It highlights the consequences of under-eating and the need to increase calorie intake. The conversation emphasizes the significance of the experiment's findings and their relevance to modern health issues, the normalization of low-calorie diets, and the need to find the high end of one's maintenance calorie range. Takeaways: Under-eating can have severe long-term consequences on various body systems. Prolonged calorie restriction can have severe repercussions on the body, including damage to organs and intestinal health. Finding the high end of one's maintenance calorie range is vital for optimal health. Gradually increasing calorie intake and focusing on nourishment is important for overall health and well-being. Longer periods between dieting phases are necessary to allow the body to recover and avoid weight oscillation.
