Getting down to 800 calories a day, like this subject did, is nearly a “fasting-like” diet, but one does not need to go to such lengths to change up the bacteria in our gut.

It is interesting they posited the bacteria would change this favorably and be responsible for such body changes, outside of the loss of calories. The mice given the changed bacteria had the benefit without changing their diet.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

800 calories per day? Yikes! My target is 1,800 and that’s hard to achieve.

“Around 2 billion people worldwide are overweight.” There’s a huge amount of fear being broadcast about upcoming food shortages, so maybe this problem will take care of itself.

So you can go to the all you can eat buffet as long as you sprinkle some skinny gut flora on your food....

I’d rather have a full belly than a long life and an empty belly.

[Codeflier]

They’re getting ready to tell people worldwide that food shortages are a good thing.

800 calories a day! Good luck in the gym lifting weights. LOL. We live among such promoted insanity these days.

Was this written to prepare us for the Biden famine? 🤪

So, like maybe I should eat/drink yogurt or cultured buttermilk or kefir or sweet acidophilus milk? Just checking. These bacteria have to come from somewhere eh?!

I am all for time restricted eating but it doesn’t even seem safe to lose weight that quickly. Rapid weight loss through IF/CR could trigger gallstone problems for one thing.

You won’t live longer on an 800 calorie/day diet.
It will just seem longer.

Sauerkraut——great for the gut flora.

Wehn you think about it, how many overweight 80 yr olds have you come across?

Interesting. Must be contributing to my strong immune system. I weigh 116 and often forget to eat. Haven’t always been this way, it just happened gradually as I aged. It’s 11:15 here, and I’m forcing myself to go make breakfast. Two meals a day is all I can shovel in.

My friends hate me. LOL

I’m a believer!! I lost kidney function and went on dialysis over 8 years ago due to a rare form of lymphoma. Most lymphomas (blood cancers) have a direct effect on your immune system. It pretty much wipes it out.

I made several lifestyle changes and after three years of dialysis, I was able to come off without a transplant. This was from improved kidney function. I made all of my changes with the full support of my medical team.

One of those changes was a reduced-calorie diet. My daily target is 1000 calories a day and no meat or processed foods. I occasionally go off the wagon and sometimes pig out on sweets, but for the most part, I’ve been doing this for over five years.

So far, so very good!

I’m convinced there are some health benefits to fasting occasionally.

But you’ll never convince me there’s any benefit to not eating enough food for months on end.

Your body needs a certain number of calories each day and that’s just it. Limiting yourself to 800 or 1,000 calories a day for months on end is just slowly starving yourself to death.

Wreaks of climate change madness...eat less, make less food.

What's the point of living longer if you're a frail sissy?

People would look like Monty Burns...
