Has anybody read anything on calorie restriction and how it prolongs
life? I've also found a few articles about how calorie restriction
helps stabilize glutamate in the brain and can be used with mental
disorders as a form of treatment.
Anyways, I gained a little bit of weight over winter, about 30 pounds,
and I'm going to try to lose it as fast as possible by eating nothing
by vegetables and protein for the next month or two. I already
exercise 4 to 6 times a week, and burn around 500 to 800 calories when
I go to the gym. I run and I lift weights. I've noticed that when I
eat less I feel more clear in thought. And sometimes when I overeat my
thoughts get really disorganized and I can't remember anything. I was
just wondering if there is any correlation between calorie restriction
and mental ability in schizophrenia. So far it feels pretty good.
Unfortunately I only eat around 600 calories a day, so I'm pretty much
constantly starving.
