Default Interesting questions rustpot!

Here's my very unscientific take on this particular tidbit from Dr A.

"its likely that your metabolism will adapt at a certain point - in a sense developing a tolerance" Seems if ya turn the switch off and on too many times, eventually you burn out the switch.

Seriously though, I think he's refering to homeostasis. It would seem to me that if you factor that in and ,say ,do the weekend carb fest/induction monday your body would adapt. It would come to expect that. Then on the other hand if that was the case, what would be the point of CCLL? am I making sense?

I especially liked this little tidbit really, if only for the fact that it's suppossed to be a WOL not a quick fix.
