The thing that you have to do is to keep trying different plans until you find the one that gets you the results you are looking for. The most important thing is to keep on trying and you will find it. If you check out enough diet sites you will find certain things that run through all of them and these generally are the things that you use to create your diet foundation. I kept on searching until I found one that would allow me to eat whatever I wanted and still get in shape. I also shared this with some other people who thank me daily. Keep trying and don't stop! http://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column/07/eat-less-live-longer/#comment-2924 Steve Parker, M.D. Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:09:06 +0000 http://www.dietsinreview.com/diet_column/07/eat-less-live-longer/#comment-2924 Here's the URL for the St Louis University news release: https://www.slu.edu/x23994.xml I'd say the new findings are quite preliminary. Even the St Louis researchers call for more studies. But the possibility is intrigueing. Since I'm at a healthy weight, I'm not sure I would want to cut back on my calories by 300-500/day. Might depend on how many years I could gain. I wouldn't do it for an extra 2-3 months of life. To maintain my current weight while cutting back on caloric intake, I assume I would have to reduce my physical activity by almost the same amount. Then I might lose the longevity effect of regular exercise. Eventually my resting metabolism would slow a bit. Average life expenctancy in the U.S. is at an all-time high: 78 years. -Steve https://www.slu.edu/x23994.xml I’d say the new findings are quite preliminary.
