Caloric Restriction is the holy grail of living a long and healthy life. Look at these two rhesus monkeys. They're both 27 years old. The left one could eat when and how much he wanted, the right one was put on caloric restriction for his entire life.
>"Scientists have known for decades that caloric restriction—reducing calorie intake without malnutrition—slows aging and extends life span" >"Something about eating a diet that is low in calories but nutritionally complete causes a dramatic reprogramming of cellular metabolism that can't be replicated by exercise or by eating smaller amounts of high-calorie foods."
STOP BULKING Our ancestors in the stone age weren't bulking either, they were on caloric deficit for 99% of the time, this is the normal human condition.
What are these high nutrient low calorie foods that they were eating?

Assuming that 27 is towards the end of the lifespan of a rhesus monkey, how did they look in mid-life? Did the bulking monkey mog the other one?

Your body works less to digest the food, it's not a mystery. Fat people are accelerating their death the same way you break a machine from using it too much.

This is very interesting, ive personally noticed it with my own body when i was a teenager i had to get my bone age checked, inbetween i would bulk/cut. My bone age would actually increase slower when i was cutting or maintaining, and increase a little faster when i was bulking for certain periods.

comparable to wear and tear? OPs article suggests it's more of a genetic adaptation
