# There was a study
Reduced calorie intake in rats (or maybe mice) increased their lifespan. I don't think it's been conclusively proven and definitely not for humans.

The reduction was quite severe too. It wasn't just 'eat sensibly two times a day' but more 'You'll always be fucking hungry'

# Fair enough.
I'm going to remain sceptical. And decide what to eat myself.

# Osaka
and btw, I have been doing this since I was 21, I'm 42 now, 5'9" and 13 stone.
It has most definitely been proven with the osaka / Hawaii ( using ex pat 2nd and 3rd generation Osakans ) studies showing the difference in aging patterns and mortality rates. Plus it works for me. Not a soul I meet believes I am more than 10 years less than my actual age unless I'm just climbing off their couch after a weekender.

# If there's only one or two communities studied, it's very difficult to disentangle diet from social and cultural factors.
Personally, I eat plenty of food but it's mostly healthy, most of my meals tend to be about 50% vegetables.
I'm only 21 so it's hard to compare, but I'm about 6 foot and 11 stone.
