Dr Jason Fung. I believe he's an endicrinologist. He has clinics where his primary focus is the treatment of diabetes and obesity. It seems like his main tool is fasting and intermittent fasting. He used to have a ton of free data on his website. I think some of it is still around, but I think most of it is in a book now.
I've done fasting and intermittent fasting, and it enabled me to lose weight. Intermittent fasting may mean that you eat 3 meals a day, but limit them to an 8-12 hour period. It could mean that you only eat one meal a day with no eating/snacking in between.
The idea is that we eat too frequently these days, like hobbits. Breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, elevensies, second lunch, afternoon snack, supper, evening snack, etc.... By eating constantly (and almost everything these days is full of sugar and/or complex carbs) our blood sugar is always high and doesn't self regulate the way it should.

During the 6 day fast I had a lot of energy and clarity and would totally do that again. BP was at 157/103 and now in normal ranges.

Yep, I did similar. I've done 3 days, but not 6. What I used to do was anywhere from 2-3 days of fasting per week. ie, minimum 24 hours (dinner then nothing until the next dinner) or mostly 36 hours, dinner, skip a full day and then breakfast on the third day) and sometimes 48-60 hours. Depending upon what I did, I'd do it 2-3 times per week. I lost weight and felt fine (didn't really notice that I felt better, but I definitel didn't feel worse).
