Eat, Fast and Live Longer

I saw parts of this programme this evening on the BBC-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01lxyzc/Horizon_20122013_Eat_Fast_and_Live_Longer/

did anyone else catch it? And what're people's thoughts on intermittent fasting?

I watched it, he ended up doing intermittent calorie reduction which like intermittent carb reduction isn't really intermittent fasting but appears to give some of the benefits but presumably is easier to stick to (or at least sounds less scary).

There are a few threads on the forum about the programme -

(If you type 'intermittent fasting' into the forum search facility you will find lots more info on the subject.)

I watched bits, it shows that starvation mode, is the most overused term in dieting and not so accurate.
