226: The Minnesota Starvation Experiment
Listen now
Description
This week on Real Health Radio, I take a deep dive into the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. As part of the show I cover: - How the experiment came to be  - Who were the participants and what were the conditions of the study - The different phases of the experiment  - The symptoms experienced by the men as part of the starvation and also the rehabilitation - What the study can tell us about weight regain as part of an eating disorder - The similarities and differences between the starvation of the men and an eating disorder This is actually the third podcast episode I have done on this experiment. The first one looked at the original study, while the second one looked at information contained in two follow up studies done with the men many decades later.  This episode contains much new information (including a re-analysis study of the experiment that only just came out) as well as an update on the information contained in the previous episodes.  This is my definitive guide to the Minnesota Starvation Experiment.
