OOOPS-did you see THIS bullet point?

Sudden adult onset Calorie Restriction shortens the lifespans of mice.
Though the lifespan enhancing effects of calorie restriction have been known since the 1930s, it was also known that if adult mice were suddenly put on a calorie restricted diet, their lifespans were actually shortened. Dr. Walford found in the 1980s, however, that if mice were slowly transitioned from an ad lib to a calorie restricted diet, then their lifespans increased. The time for this transition recommended by Dr. Walford is a minimum of 6 to 9 months, but preferably 1 to 2 years. [p. 78, BY120YD]

Yikes, I didn't see that! There was another article on weight loss and some negativity with it.

I still think that there is no doubt the weight loss is healthier than keeping the weight on.  One factor is-if the mice were obese up to that point-maybe the damage was already done....some many variables it makes my head hurt.  I just try to do the best I can and don't worry too much about it.
