Question:
I've read a lot about calorie restriction. What are the benefits in human beings? Can you live longer?
Do you know anything about this Calorie Restriction Society?
Answers:
Proponents of calorie restriction say it lengthens your life by decreasing your chances of getting all kinds of diseases.
I say fine, but frankly I don't want to live that long if it means living without chocolate, pizza, barbecue......
You know?
You can eat perfectly healthy and not have to restrict yourself to the point of looking like a walking skeleton.
Do yourself a favor and look for some photographs of these people who do the calorie restriction. They look like anorexics!
There are plenty of people who live long lives without calorie restriction. And I'll bet there are plenty of folks who do calorie restriction who still end up dying early from heart attack, stroke, etc.
Shoot, you could get hit by a bus and die tomorrow!
Personally I don't want to die hungry! ;-)
Do your homework and decide. I think it's nuts, but that's just my opinion.
