1) Comment about life expectancy being higher in countries where food is plentiful - that's b/c they also tend to have better overall living conditions, so the correlation is incorrect 2) CR is about eating less but with higher nutrient content 3) CR is something for adults past 21 - no growing child should take on CR. They should eat healthy and plenty to fuel their growth during development years 4) before you start measuring calories, begin by eating healthy, exercise, control your portions.
does living longer mean that your happier?? why live all those years no stop thinkning about what your eating!!?? just so werid. also is losing weight and being less weight doesnt really mean your HEALTHY!
I'm 5'11" (and change) and my ideal weight derived from several sources seems to be 172 pounds. If I weighed 133 pounds I don't think I could stand up let alone walk!
@Stonewalljackson7 a raw foodist consumes about 1300 calories a day. Less calories means less free radicals, less tissue oxidation, less damage to your DNA. What you know about that?
5'11" and 133lbs? He is asking for trouble should he ever face trying to overcome a serious illness. This lifestyle is probably just as unwise as that of the glutton.
Brink of starvation? Seriously? I'd say people who eat nothing but crappy foods are more starved than CR people, who by the way eat very nutrient dense and healthy food. Besides, 1500 calories may not seem like a lot, but it's no where near starvation and certainly not "next to nothing". Jeese, the media will say anything to attract viewers/listeners.
if done correctly, calorie restriction is an amazing DIET! i started at the young age of 28. americans eat way too much food and then scratch their head at the age of 50 when family members and themselves start developing cancer and other conditions
that's awesome. We easily have the potential to live to 125, and probably to 150 when we tap into the body's photosynthetic properties of converting energy to nutrients. A natural diet is also great for our planet, although i'm not sure how natural this couple is eating with microwaved food and what not, they seem to be misinformed to some extent.
I hate when they say things like, 'but is it living', compared to dieing of a coronary in your sixties, go ahead, ridicule it. Living to a healthy 100 and eating fresh fruits and veggies is definitely living. I have a hard time with burgers, after becoming acclimated to the new diet of whole grains and fresh veg and fruit, burgers taste heavy and nasty. It takes a couple of weeks to get used to, but it's well worth it and it is LIVING! And fast food once a week is still ok.
He's wrong. Longest lived people in Japan eat very few calories -- raw fish (no fatty sauces), seaweed, rice, vegetables. Restaurant portions in the US are double to triple of portions in other countries.
she says "well, we have this component restevarol" .... actually, she must have meant resveratrol; either she made a mistake or she was poorly informed
Its funny to see other peoples points of view that dont know what they are reporting on... But i have to agree he does look sluggish, he could probably use some more exercise.
Hmmm, I think the principle of calorific restriction is sound, but I'd have to agree with Eric3Frog. That Paul guy doesn't look particularly healthy. I think he could stand to gain a few pounds in muscle. The body needs muscle mass, and it looks like he's rather lacking in that department.

There is no reason to count calories, just practice raw foodism with moderate amount of unprocessed meat and eat till your full.

I think he would look and be much healthier with about 10 more pounds of muscle.

It don't matter how he looks, he is healthier than 95% + of people his age and is more likely to live a long life.
