Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I admit that I take a lot of what Thomas DeLauer says with a grain of salt, since some of his videos have misinformation (I have a degree in exercise physiology and specialized in metabolism, and sometimes I get the impression that he misinterprets some of the research he reads). I did like this video and thought the discussion with the Dr. was good, and they both made some good points. I agree with their viewpoint on the effects of severe calorie restriction and I'm not a fan of using IF for calorie restriction. I still eat TDEE-500 or so cal. during my eating window, so I'm not using fasting to restrict my calories for the reasons they outlined in the video; I use IF to change the timing of my eating in order to correct my metabolism/increase insulin sensitivity, that's all. I do disagree with him on his take on daily fasting. It's easy to get your TDEE (or calorie range for weight loss) in during a 6-8 hr window, especially with a high-fat keto or LCHF diet. I'm not sure what you mean by maintaining calories on a fast though, do you mean eating calories to maintain weight, or how many calories to eat on fasting days with 5:2?
I didn’t watch the video, but calories are such a horse shit measurement - a total swindle. For a calorie to have any meaning, the body would have to respond to different types of calories without distinction. But we know right now that the body responds differently to calories of broccoli than it does to calories of coke. Totally irrelevant metabolic measurement, worse than BMI.
