Announced topic: fasting-mimicking diet versus classic fasting
According to the description, the episode covers a nutrition trend from the USA called fasting-mimicking diet, in German Scheinfasten. Prof. Reuter is to explain how it works and how it differs from classic fasting. The description also raises the question whether the positive effects of fasting could be reached without giving up food entirely, and names calorie restriction, cell cleaning (autophagy) and metabolic processes as topics. These are announced questions, not results reported in the description.
