Don't Eat Yourself Old (looking and smelling)

Great visual thinspiration!!! One of my favorite "diet stories" / thinspiration is of the calorie restriction studies on the rhesus monkeys.

 If you know what I am talking about then these cute little guys will ring a bell:

Can you believe these monkey are the same age? Now you tell me which monkey looks "hotter"?  
That's what I thought, I agree, the monkey on the left totally looks hotter and younger than the monkey on the right.
As I said, this was a calorie restriction diet study (Wisconsin National Primate Research Center 1989) and from what I see, just look at them, the proof is in the pudding or should I say in the healthy, low calorie, unprocessed alternative.
The National Institute of Aging sort of rebuked this study recently saying that the monkeys in their study showed no difference in longevity to the other 'control' monkeys.
But come on now, I think The National Institute of Looking Young and Hot would have to agree that who cares what makes you live longer, it's what makes you look good, young, hot and healthy that matters!
Albeit the CR diet also had the benefits of greatly reducing  the risk of getting heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases of aging. The CR monkeys also were said to have "younger-seeming immune systems" and better metabolisms. They also did live 50% longer which shows it "slowed the aging process".
I don't know what the NIA is getting at but these findings show, just looking at the picture above, a very clear picture just what eating until you're full can do to you physically.




Longevity? Is that the debate? What about youth? Who cares how long you live if it's in this body>

Poor little fella!


Summary:
If you eat whatever, whenever and how much you like you will look older (even go grey faster!) and be fatter.
Restrict Calories at the very least by 10% daily and you will look younger and hotter.

Sugars, processed foods, saturated fats, GMO's, propylene glycol and especially deep fried foods will make you look 10 years older and a few inches wider at the least.
It is best when shopping at the grocery store to stay near the walls. Only shop in the produce, meat (unless you are vegan/veggie) and may be bakery (only for some fiber filled 100% whole wheat). If you must penetrate the isles of shame it better only be for some healthy almonds, walnuts and some soda water. 
.....and of course you are allowed to hit the liquor section but that will surely even out all your calorie restriction and may be not make you so young looking after all...at least the next morning right! 


So, here's to you calorie restricted, healthy, way younger looking (inside and out), skinny rhesis monkey on the left.
Thanks for proving that eating an unnecessary amount of food can have such an impact on not only your complete happiness with your reflection but on wellness and your well being too.
Thank you for the visual that I always keep in my mind of your cute little "before picture" that was never an "after picture" like the monkey on the right.

      

This is all I have to say to any ingredients that have preservatives, flavour added, colour added, to any sugar that does not come from a fruit or veggie, to anything processed, to GMO's, to propylene glycol and above all deep fried foods:
