BMI TMI update #5

I woke up this morning and rode the stationary bike. Had a healthy breakfast, lunch, and snack. Took the kiddo for a bike ride.

Then came the carnitas.

Well, you can cut your calorie intake to 70% of what is normal and maybe live to be 120 (at least if you are a rhesus monkey), but what good is 125 years of misery? (On another blog, a primatologist said the thinner monkey showed signs of being unhappy. Not being a monkey, I have no basis on which to judge.)

As I said before, the key is not to feel deprived.

Besides, eat right, stay fit, die anyway:

If caloric restriction can delay aging, then there should have been significantly fewer deaths in the dieting group of monkeys than in the normally fed comparison group. But this is not the case. Though a smaller number of dieting monkeys have died, the difference is not statistically significant, the Wisconsin team reports.
The Wisconsin researchers say that some of the monkey deaths were not related to age and can properly be excluded. Some monkeys died under the anesthesia given while taking blood samples. Some died from gastric bloat, a disease that can strike at any age, others from endometriosis. When the deaths judged not due to aging are excluded, the dieting monkeys lived significantly longer.

So they all lived longer, except the ones that died?

ohhhh, carnitas...! Want, need...
