I'm not too concerned about the dietitian's comments. Conflict keeps things interesting, and the reporter, Ali Gorman, RN, did a great job of working with the testers and built a balanced story so it's clear it's "news" and not an advertisement.
I don't know where dietitians get their information-
I know they mean well and some are clearly not in this dogma rut, but researching the literature or Googling "intermittent fasting" is apparently foreign to many.
I think I've mentioned this here before, but the corporate sponsors of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) may have inappropriate influence over the ADA's advice, and may be the reason the ADA insists people "eat right" (their website is eatright.org) rather than "eat less." Why the ADA has corporate sponsors at all puzzles me.

> I thought it was a bit ;( because that dietican had to say, "I do not recomend this diet" Grrr! =) Most poeple like that dont realize that fasting is actually really good for your body. Dieticans especially think that you need to eat all those "mini meals" several times daily to "boost metabolism"!
