I'm not doctor but I why skip lunch if it's hard to do? Eat something healthy and enjoy your time and days spent on the earth. I'm not saying ignore eating healthy or exercising. Those are key but punishing yourself to optimize for the possibility of living longer is a weird one. Especially since diet science seems to be far from perfect.

- mtberatwork 5y agoI generally agree with you, but for me I'm not necessarily trying to optimize for an ultra long life span but instead am trying to optimize for going out peacefully. I don't want my end years to be in some miserable, decrepit state in which I am unable to do much. In the end, all we can hope for is a peaceful exit.
- seer 5y agoWhat I gather is that eating less = living longer, and living better. Skipping lunch "feels hard" only at first, supposedly. Friends have been doing the no lunch thing for other reasons and report that after several weeks you just don't feel the need to lunch at all. For me that sounds like a little bit of hardship now, for a big gain afterwards. I get the time to think about / prepare lunch back, and can now enjoy my dinners way more, as I don't need to really think and restrain myself on how much I eat then. Obviously I wouldn't trade feeling bad for the rest of my life for a longer life, but it seems that's not what's happening, hopefully. It's more like "invest a bit of pain now, gain a lot of pleasure later" kinda dynamic. But I'm in the middle of this thing though so we'll see :)
