Any Aussies hear about this? @tara?
I hadn't heard of it till you pointed it out. I can imagine there might occasionally be a case for short term calorie deficits for adults for particular purposes, but this sounds like longish term very low calorie - semi-starvation - for quite young people. Likely to be harmful to most or all and potentially extremely hazardous to some. If the ethic s committee can't see a problem with this, they would seem poorly informed at best, from my PoV.
Glad to see there's resistance.
