Yes... On the whole yes...

By what I've understood (in Ben Best's site) thin

rats (geneticaly programed to be burners) put on the EOD

experiences an increase equivalent to an CR50 diet when

in an EOD feeding.

Fat rats (genetically programed to be thirfties)

experiences an increase equivalente to an CR30 diet

when feeding intermitently EOD (because they armazen

more calories in EOD feeding).

Alan Pater: Correct me please if I'm wrong.

So, the fasting state has an lonvevity enhancing

effect without an discontinuation of the mean caloric

value (I'm not sure why this happens, perhaps because

we cannot get all the calories of the foods we it

and armazen it, and I don't know if this is aplicable

to humans).

Example: In a Fisher 334 rats with

80 kcal/week (in mean) feeded in EOD has the

lonvevity of CR50 rats feed 40 kcal/week (in mean)

in the standard way. Strange isn't

it? The human equivalent is to eat 4400 kcal in one

day and fast the other! The question then arises:

It is not the same than to eat ad-libitum 12hours and

fast 12hours?

Aparently not... The fast should be long (compared

to the lifespan) for this to happen...
