Did the guy at 2:48 say he didn’t eat any sort of “grain”?

Makes sense, gluten is such a waste of calories, yet gluten is the basis of our diet in America.

CR life-extenders in New York magazine fantasize about reaching “actuarial escape velocity,” whereby they basically live forever (oh, and not incidentally, in this scenario no one — or at least no one wealthy — dies: Good luck with that, planet Earth! Hope you’ve alerted Social Security!), but that seems pretty unrealistic. For the time being, what remains true is that we are all going to die, whether when we’re 40 or 140.

The added energy is probably cause after a lot of food, blood gets shunted to the venous portal system of the liver to digest the food, so you feel lethargic. You would have more energy without eating as much, but it might be more nervous energy than healthy, productive energy. You sleep less too, and dream about food. Quality of life is a complicated subject and the jury is still out. Most of us would feel so deprived eating this much less food, that the quality would be reduced…every day.

Actually mitochondria numbers are increased when animals and humans go on CR. They can run further and longer. It isn’t nervous energy and you are productive. Again, from experience and hearing other people who are on long term CR. Quality of life has much to do with how healthy you are. CRers are by far more healthier than their peers the same age. Personally I do not feel deprived at all eating 1700k/cal of lovely nutritous food. I enjoy food more now than before, and I don’t dream about it.

Restricted calories doesn’t mean you eat less. It means you eat smarter. It means you take in the most nutrients for the least amount of calories…

The best anti-aging product I’ve ever seen is actually Alex Chiu’s Magnetic
Discovery. The other people are just nonsense.
