I feel better when coming back from lunch, so it’s not the “re-routing blood to the digestive system”. But it could be something with sugar level management, yes, my body expecting to be fed at 1pm, so not taking the expense to start using stocks to provide me with sugar when we are near that time, instead waiting for the coming meal, or something like that.
Anyway, I more wanted to say that diet/calories issues aren’t simple, and that “rodents live 20% longer when on calorie restriction in a lab” is just weak evidence that it would be good for us to do so. There are many aspects to consider (differences between men and rodents, effects on intellectual abilities or overall well-being, immune system strength, capacity to recover in case of disease/wound, effects on different ages, sex or corpulence, …) and studies that evaluate all of that are lacking.
Maybe calorie restriction is worth it, but there is just not enough evidence to tell. Saying “Most living people don’t optimise for that either. If they did, more would practice calorie restriction.” seems to me broad overconfidence.
