Thanks. I am reading about calorie restriction with great
interest. Empirically, when I restricted my calories as part of my
weight loss effort, I started feeling much better. Could be a
coincidence.

I reckon it's useful to know about it - even if you don't practice it.

*Mild* CR seems beneficial for both QOL *and* longevity - and
seems like a bit of a no-brainer to me. More severe practice
can notoriously have some drawbacks, though.
