do you mean that this is a plausible hypothesis, supported by evidence, or just a speculation which would, if true, explain why calorie restriction might not work for Eliezer? If the former, could you point me to the relevant evidence?
I think I remember Eliezer complaining somewhere that calorie restriction (or something like that) makes him tired or just unable to do his work, but I don’t remember the source. I’m pretty sure that he tried it.
Thanks. When you say that

Yes, he did. He found that as little as missing a meal knocked him out.
Currently, he’s found a ketogenic diet which is working for him at least in the short run.
Do a three day fast and see if you can still be as active physically at the end as you are at the moment. That’s a very easy experiment.
If you don’t believe that changes in eating have any effect on how your body works there not even a price involved.
