This is certainly not true for me. Fasting 16 hours a day has changed my life. I eat relatively healthy but been eating a lot of sugar, full pizzas etc so I doubt I’m at a calorie deficit more than once a week.

As an aside, I had cancer and worked with surgeons professionally. And I am exceptionally skeptical and disappointed in the curiosity of doctors and surgeons. Some of my doctors would repeat word for word answers. My oncologist didn’t know basic questions.

When you cite your skepticism, are you saying those doctors aren’t exploratory in their opinions of diet?

How did you work with these doctors in a way that’s relevant to the topic?

Apologies for my ignorance and assumptions but wouldn’t you need to gain weight after surgeries for cancer?
