Diet-Do we really need as much food as we think we do?
60 minutes ran an interesting segment the other night. It was about another miracle drug that is suppose to make us live longer. From what I saw it appears to make the body think you're super thin even if you're not........doesn't sound good to me.
Anyway the thing I found interesting about the segment was the idea that not only eating less but eating less than we may think we need is the best way to stay healthy. I think the basic idea is that if the body feels it's not getting enough food it goes into a defensive posture releasing certain chemicals and other things to adjust to not getting the normal amount of food necessary.
I can believe that. While starvation diets is certainly not the way to go, a little less than what we think we need sounds like a good plan. If the fashion models would give up the cigarettes and drugs they would probably outlive us all! :D
