Let me rephrase. Any CR which does not impact on your own potential
performance and resilience (OK, let us exclude from our priorities the
ability of living as long as possible on our body fat) in any sense is
fine to me.

In fact, I would expect the purpose of any dietary style or
supplementation to *maximise* them.

Within such limits, I wonder if the break even point really requires
any deliberate, that is "unnatural". substantial restriction.
