I just read another portion control thread and it reminded me of this:

I was just reading an article in the newspaper today about this new sect of people called the CR group. They severely restrict calories based on the fact that they think it increases their lifespan. They eat one meal a day (usually just a salad and a piece of chicken - no dressing). They do this not because they want to be thin but because they think that eating that few of meals put your body into a survival mode that will increase their lifespan.

My whole point was - why live another 20 years (if that is the case which I'm still severely doubtful on) if you have to be HUNGRY for another 20 years? Part of life is enjoying food and company and LIVING.

Here's the link below - the article is long so I decided not to include it here.
