More useless Attia advice: Let's all starve ourselves and be miserable from age 40-75 — an age range when we can really enjoy ourselves — so we can languish around like feeble vegetables from age 76-96. Idiotic! Just eat healthily, live with gusto, and accept the lifespan nature has in store for you!
But what is the connection between caloric restriction and HEALTHspan?
Anorexia is not linked with life extension quite the contrary
So hilarious bc all the healthy 90 something’s I know do not restrict calories. They eat real food and eat well. Yes obesity is a health issue but why make things miserable ( except for the ONAD crowd who love trying to feel superior 😂)
I eat only one meal a day…dinner. I do not even get hungry until dinner time. Your body can adapt to just about anything.
2024 and we are still holding onto antiquated theories like Raymond Pearles "rate of living theory" wow.
When did they mention caloric restriction?
You don’t hardly see old fat people.
Because fewer insulin spikes, which is also achieved on a ketogenic diet without the starvation.
Didn't PBS's Frontier House demonstrated caloric restriction was healthy?
I've decided I don't want to live old and end up in a nursing home being abused by some lowly paid psychopath with suppressed anger or fetishes. I think 90 is good and I'm done. the world has gone to hell anyway. I'm not a mealworm… and I'm already on 1200 calories a day and that's hard. so I'm good.
Isn’t it protein that shortens telomeres?
My weekly ~40 hour water only fast (Sunday night > Tuesday noon) is a great "reset" for remaining metabolically flexible, increasing insulin sensitivity & overall health (autophagy)/longevity.
I have done this for ~20 years so it has become a foundation for my life… and now I am learning (from videos like this) the science behind why this is a beneficial thing to do.
