More harm than good?

A commenter asked if it's possible to eat too few calories and in turn, slow down your metabolism.

I promised to research it, but I should have turned to Diane Lamb, one of the N&R's researchers from the start.

She sent me these articles from the Arizona Republic.

The short answer is yes. If you don't eat enough, you will slow down your metabolism. Well, at least eating enough is one of the few things I don't have a problem with.
