Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about the Minnesota Starvation Experiment. Conducted from 1944 to 1945, this clinical study explored the physical and psychological effects of semi-starvation and refeeding. While it’s a historical study, its findings remain relevant today, particularly as we examine current health and weight-loss practices. Jenn dives into the participants’ experiences, the dramatic impacts of calorie restriction, and what we can learn about achieving health goals sustainably, not through diets or restriction. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that ties past research to modern challenges and solutions. Like what you're hearing?
