D- Here are some of my musings on this topic, I think they are pretty close to Professor Devany's. 1) EF does contain components of calorie restriction in that one attains a high degree of lean muscle mass which therefore requires more calories. 2) One eats nutrient dense foods with high antioxidant values. 3) One eats frequently. This is hormonaly wise(which I will expand upon later) but also the body tends to release antioxidants with each meal. Small nutrient dense antioxidant rich meals provide and release large amounts of antioxidants. 3) Eating paleo avoids most of the foods which can disrupt gut wall integrity and predispose one to autoimmune issues. 5)Eating in a hormonally intelegent way provides one with a hormonal profile which is conducive to health and youth(hGH,DHEA...) Time will tell....
