At that calorie level it's basically a fast mimicking diet, so part of the benefit would be autophagy and the respawning of stem cells. It's hard to tell how much that helps however.
- acangiano 8y agoThat’s definitely a factor. That and the automatic reduction in carb intake with such a caloric restriction. I mean, if they fed them pure sugar, they’d still be getting “only” 200g of carbs per day which is still less than what a lot of people who developed diabetes used to eat. More realistically they are likely getting significantly less carbs per day with elements of fasting thrown in.
