Spot on.But a 'General Practitioner' would say that as they don't study for this as an expertise. The have whatever general knowledge they know about.
There are NHS successful trials and specialities in fasting for weight loss and diabetes, so they would be hocus pocus according to that GP!
There are some expert Docs that do 'Ted Talks' and have their own channels on the subject.
We, already, know how the body can survive on next to nothing for a month, so a couple of days is nothing in a controlled setting.
The average GP knows the very basics where diet and nutrition are concerned.Your family Doc is a great resource,but be careful,they aren't the oracle by any stretch......far too many take their word as gospel or simply follow their lead without question.
