31. How Dieting Causes Bingeing: The Minnesota Starvation Experiment

from The Road to Carnivore · host Joanne Ozug

Welcome to Episode 31 of The Road to Carnivore Podcast! The Minnesota Starvation Experiment is one of the most stunning studies ever done, and shows us how restricted eating can cause deranged food behaviors like bingeing. This 15-minute episode discusses this 1940s study of healthy male subjects who started hoarding utensils, licking their plates and tableware, diluting and rehydrating their soup, and more. It is dieting, calorie restriction, or semi-starvation, that cause binge behavior in humans. See the show notes and resources here on my website. **Do you want your kids to eat more meat and less junk? Check out my ebook How to Get Your Kids to Eat More Meat...and actually like it.
