John has been wanting to loose about 15 pounds for a while now and I too could stand to drop a about 10. Menopause for me, and post treatment effects for John made it more difficult. I'm sure aging plays a role too. Enter the 5 -2 Fast Diet. In the book they reference the impact of fasting on protective effect of normal cells during chemotherapy base on the work of Dr. Valter Longo at USC.

Here are two links you may find interesting. Sounds like it may be related to what Tom posted. On the video, it's pretty technical but at about 22 minutes in, it got easier to follow.
