I think we all have some anedoctical evidence as to the dividends of
caloric restriction, but I suspect they may be especially important
when nutrition is NOT optimal, in particular in terms of
proportionally high carb intake.

I am inclined to believe both that carb damages are somewhat limited
if you eat very little of anything (see famine societies...), and that
eating very little of anything make for a slower, more parsimonious
metabolism anyway.

OTOH, one wonders what's the point of exchanging performance and
intensity against duration. A distinctly anti-transhumanist attitude,
if one asks me.
