@MrMaryJanes You're probably right that someone eating 3500k/cal a day and is fit would do better. But is life about running and cycling hundreds of miles? For some maybe, for others no. CR is found to be more effective than exercise (see my blog for studies). I do kung fu twice a week. Shaolin kung fu. I slightly incrase calorie intake during those days.
@MrMaryJanes results from Raw foodists vs CRers show that CR results in better health markers (studies from Dr fontana who studied both groups at WUSTL). So there you go.
@matthewlake182 Again, i can promise you this guy would keel over after attempting to keep up with anyone fit and eating a high carb low fat diet 3500+ calories a day. The possibility of living longer is a joke if you cant even be active more than an hour a day at most.
@MrMaryJanes calorie restriction increases mitochondrial biogenesis. (more energy). Do you know that experiments on animals show that fewer calories actualyl results in more energy and activity? No probably not. You have to do the research! I eat 1750 k/cal a day! check out my blog ;)
@matthewlake182 Any way you put it, 1900 calories a day (calorie restriction) to live longer is a joke. You need to eat more to live more as DurianRider says =). This guy may live longer, but he isnt living life as intended. He is getting the absolute minimum amount of food possible and living at very low levels of energy. I prefer to eat 4000 calories from raw foods and be active all day rather than 1900 calories and have little to no energy just so i MIGHT live a little longer in the long run.
@MrMaryJanes read on Okinawa longevity. They were naturally CR'd and had the longest life expectancy in the world. Also the highest number of centenarians in the world. They ate fewer calories and high nutrition.
@MrMaryJanes You're not understanding anorexia well enough. He eats a very nutritious diet, is part of a study on aging. His bmi is above the normal range. Anorexia is completely different. Anorexia results in pathology and possible death. CR results in greatly extending mean and maximum lifespan.
@MrMaryJanes Not a joke. The only proven way to extend lifespan. I've been on it since I was 18 (now almost 27) and I also do Kung Fu. No problems at all! It keeps me very young! see my blog "matts cr" :-)
sounds like another Durianrider 811 minion. You actually called him a jerk because he doesn't worship fruit like you do and "has the audacity to throw away (an) apple"?
He is healthy with what he is doing, and looks much younger than his age suggests. instead of hating because his practices doesn't fall in line with your perception of what health is, maybe you open your mind, look objectively, and learn a thing or two from him.
there are starving people in this world who would KILL for a nibble of this jerks apple and he has the audacity to throw away the apple and only eat the peel!!!! what?!??!? i eat what is considered a very radical diet - i'm a low fat raw vegan. 80-90 % of my calories come from raw fruit (sweet/non-sweet) so i agree that what he is eating is super nutrient dense and while that is well and great and all you NEED carbs to fuel your body...so you can think, exercise, FUNCTION.
CR is an attractive lifestyle for a certain "geeky" kind of people, who love to think they can, through a diet manipulation, control their health almost completely. It also possesses an intuitive quality (less wear-and-tear from free radicals, longer life). However, when carefully examined , CR reveals itself as a bit of pseudo-science with sectarian overtones. Check out the link below for explanation why.
@adamc404 its not about whats natural for humans to eat, or what we would have eaten before the agricultural revolution, its a biological phenomina which works in all species, nutrient rich, calorie poor
decided to go back to CR.after practicing it for 3 months I learned alot about my body .And found myself with more energy after long workdays.Im gonna get between 1700 calories and 1900 a day compared to 3000 estimate of what i used to eat before.But eating 3000 calories i had stage 1 high blood preassure and resting heart beat of 62 and lots of fatigue.When i did calorie restriction my resting heart beat was 55 and i had normal preasure.before CR i weighed 160 and 5'10 during cr i was 140
175 pounds my arse. He was probably over 200 lbs. back then.

@matthewlake182 1900 calories a day? Sounds like anorexia to me.

@MrMaryJanes and this is not a low carb diet. Why would it deplete your glycogen? lol I'm guessing you've been watching durian rider ;p

This is a joke. Calorie restriction will eventually deplete your glycogen ,etc and you will crash and burn.
