  • Thanks for your comments though!

  • 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.

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

  • Did the guy at 2:48 say he didn't eat any sort of "grain"?

  • These types of video's do not present fact only opinions.

    They seem to be confused.

    Calorie restriction does not mean low calorie diet. This is a common flaw when most people are reviewing these diets.

    you could eat 3200 calories a day and still be on a calorie restricted diet.

  • He looks like he's 80 instead of 59

  • Awesome Video 4 Health...
