Not saying this guy isn't a quack, but I have seen studies (or articles about studies, at least) by reputable universities on low calorie diets that suggest they increase your lifespan.
I can't recall the details, but if you're interested, start googling - it's a legitimate field of study with some surprising outcomes (to a layman like me, at least).

They were based on rats, they failed to hold up for primates and almost certainly will shorten lifespan for humans. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=calorie-restriction-fails-lenghten-lifespan-primates http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=calorie-res...
