Roy Walford claims that your sex drive will increase and you will have more
energy(in his 120 Year Diet book.)

Sometimes in the course of quoting a passage that someone else has quoted
from someone else, it's all too easy to get people's names mixed up like
playing a child's game of telephone. I have written several posts in the last
few days elaborating in detail upon the statement that "ie, they may live
longer but they may be tired, have low sex drive etc." I, in fact, *never*
said that. I wrote several detailed posts *refuting* that statement.

Please understand that everyone is going to react differently. Some may have
more libido, some have less. Some have more energy, some have less. My point
though, in sum, was that those experiencing deleterious consequences from
practicing CR may in fact be suffering *not* from effects of fewer calories,
but from poor macronutrient ratios and/or outright nutrient deficiencies. And
those reducing calories on a Paleo type plan often fare much better than
those eating the extremely low fat/high complex carbohydrate and sometimes
even Vegan diets that many life extensionists practice. Please see my
previous several posts for more detail.
