My own body temperature drops to about 35.3 in the night/morning and I don't find it a problem. I feel more comfortable at a lower bt than a higher one.

David Fisher states that cold really affects him on a severe

CR diet and has to wear long johns to keep warm! One has

to wonder what other side effects he hasn't disclosed.

Oh, this is so good - The non-CR guy has longer telomeres!

[matthewlake182]

a) he might have been born with shorter telomeres b) Telomere length isn't that straigth forward c) There can be a 30x difference and show no correlation with age of death. d) People with initial higher telomere length have a more rapid shortening.

I think IS AMAZING THAT A MAN WITH 178 CM eat only 1.600 Calories and is not anorexic, he weigh 66 Kg. Dave Fisher looks fantastic and even he have some fat (which is good).

Any person could do a 1.600 Calorie diet at 178 cm??, is the fact that Dave start at 31 years old that he can do that drastic restriction??, probably at young age is dificult to do a extremly low calorie diet (like 1.600 at 178 cm)??

@calidude512 I agree that those willing to go CR, are likely taking care of themselves in other ways too. But from my own experience, after a few months on the raw food diet (which I use as CR), my pores tightened up dramatically, and face lifted so that I didn't look so old. The body puts all nutrition and detoxing in the liver, heart and lungs first. So for my outside to look so much younger, that means my organs looked became younger first.

@PamelaViktoria

It could be artificial in many health obsessed people. Someone who cares more about their health and maintaining youthful appearance is probably far more likely to be using face moisturizing products and other methods such as sun avoidance compared to someone that doesn't even care which can stop drying and aging of the skin; it won't stop your internal organs from aging, though...

I would guess that CR shortened his telomeres because in the modern day of toxins and pollutants (electromagnetic radiation especially) in the environment, calories kind of protect you and offset the effects rather than if they were battering your nutrition-less body. Although eating a lot of processed white sugars probably has the opposite effect.

To me, a young looking face means young looking guts and gizzards. It bugs me that the CR guy is said to be starving. He might not feel hungry at all. He looked to be eating the raw food diet. I never feel hungry, except in the morning after a daily 16 hour dry fast.. Other diets may make your butt smaller, but they don't make you look younger. Only raw CR can do that.

well there we have it. telomeres are junk science

[ZRANCIS]

this guy doesnt look thin or weedy at all, looks totally. i want to start CR, but im afraid of weight loss. id love to jow exactly what he eats

I think also it has been suggested that exercise on a higher caloric diet but nutrient dense has the same if not better results. Also it is not suggested for the young or naturally very lean people or women in their child bearing years as it couold result in the loss of their menstrual cycle or infertility and this could lead to early osteoporosis. Its interesting that most croners seem to be men and the women looked aged

[lalealynn]

This is purely anicdotal however most pioneers of CR who have reached the age where it might make a difference Roy Walford died ofLou Gehrigs at a normal age his daughter LOOKS VERY very OLD for her age completely unscientific the other thing is very few people die from old age it does not work like that they die from disease or weakness there is little evidence this works in large organisms
