Real Health Radio 042: Minnesota Starvation Experiment

http://www.seven-health.com/2016/06/0...
Hosted by Chris Sandel, nutritionist, coach and eating disorder expert.

On this week’s episode of Real Health Radio I’ll be discussing The Minnesota Starvation Experiment. This fascinating experiment has had a huge impact on me as practitioner so I want to share some insights about it with you. I explain the background of the experiment and why it happened, what took place as part of it, and what the results were. As I go through I also explain why I think this information is so useful, both for those who diet but also for those that suffer with eating disorders.
