Why starve yourself when you can have the same, or better, health benefits from eating a healthy, tasty low carb diet?

the mathematical model? That really doesn't prove anything. Infact, what a waste of resources. While there is zero evidence to my knowledge that LOW CARB extends maximum life span. It has been tried already. No doubt it has benifits though!
Do you have to be skinny to get benifits from CR!?
NO!
Genetically "fat" mice on a calorie-restricted diet are as big as some other fully fed mice - but they live 50% longer when calories are reduced. It's got nothing to do with weight at all. Whats also interesting is that the mice that are on CR end up consuming the same amount of calories during their more extended life span as the controls did when they were alive.
