What are the implications for diet and human health during aging? We will probably never know whether dietary restriction can extend the human life span because of low compliance to such a demanding nutrition regime.

Considering what I have seen amongst my friends I tend to agree with this. And yet, without really even thinking about calories except as an interesting "side bar", by eating the way Dr McDougall recommends and fine tuning a bit to achieve my health goals, I have reduced my calorie intake by at least 40% (very conservative estimate and could easily be, in reality, 50%). Compliance seems effortless and pleasurable to me. "They" don't know what they are missing...

I am not connected at all, don't really follow, but get the impression that most continue to struggle with extreme portion control and perhaps often unconscious feelings of deprivation when it can be done so enjoyably, easily and healthily.
