Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 I'm returning to caloric restriction after getting a bad cholesterol test recently. I gave up CR some years back due to complaints about physical weakness. Many discussions have not changed since then, such as which popular diets merit the most attention. My question for this learned group is: Do you know of any data to support the notion that calorically restricted individuals who are adequately nourished (and I'm ruling out really stupid food choices, such as trans fats here), and eating a variety of ancient foods, including animals and vegetables, will be affected by various popular diets. Let me make this dramatic: Can one be calorically-restricted, eating hunter-gatherer foods, and still commit suicide at the dinner table? Or would caloric restriction override the presence of a little saturated fat, etc (after all, I won't be eating that much of anything)? Put another way, are we wasting time focusing on which diet works the best when the true issue is whether we're overeating or not? I'm looking for perspectives that I'd bet my life on... literally.
