I also can't be bothered to run a journal search.
Besides, I enjoy my food far too much to be willing to make that kind of sacrifice for some potential future benefits.

"The researchers say that is would be extremely difficult to restrict human diets to this level. They estimate that average women would typically eat 2,000 calories a day would need to eat 1,200 calories and an average man would regularly eat 2,500 calories a day would need to eat 1,500 calories. This would be the equivalent of a 40 percent reduction in calories."
Screw that for a game of imperial stormtroopers
Edit: Some stuff on Wikipedia too en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie_restriction

the impression that I was offering the links as proof ( saying I could not offer lancet publications I had thought I'd qualified it )
I was just showing that it is not pie in the sky. And trust me, I never starve, I eat what I want, I just remember to not gorge and not every day.

On the other hand, it'll be more difficult with a reduced diet to get enough of all the nutrients you need.
I expect it's possible if you're careful.
Also, I know it's difficult to get access to scientific papers without being a part of it, I'd struggle without my university access.

I'm not actually espousing this as a way of life for anyone. Just that It's something I took up ( being on operations in my 20's meant that calorific intake was sporadic anyway ) kind of by accident. I learned of the health benefits later in life and just continued with it. I'm not religious about it, I just ensure I won't get fat on over indulgence of food. I drink far too much beer and wine to be considered a normal case study. I'm told I look well for my age. What age I reach I am not willing to make a wager on.
