The answer is to be found in the question itself!Over-eating or eating over your recommend daily cals
Confucious he say: Fadi too cryptic for me today...The answer is to be found in the question itself!
Fadi.
I would say that under eating would have to be the secret to longevity. Nothing but nothing places the body under tremendous stress than digestion does. So it would stand to reason that if we can take some pressure (or rather constant pressure) off our body, then not only would we have energy to spare, but all our systems would be better for it since we would actually be digesting what we're eating instead of overwhelming our bodies with excess calories that would simply ferment and cause havoc in the long run.
Furthermore, I can think of the relationship between insulin and HGH. Now we know that every Tom Dick & Harry (including Sylvester Stallone) want to take this stuff (HGH) and they want to do it because of a simple reason called the fountain of youth.
So where does insulin fit into my analysis?
Well we know that insulin and HGH are not the best of buddies. By that I mean insulin blocks the release of HGH. Now what happens when you continuously eat a high calorie diet for an extended number of years as you have suggested in your post, is that you'll have more of the aging hormone insulin and less of the anti-aging hormone HGH.
I'm sure someone would find a counter argument and say that eating plenty has never been associated with disease or the like. I have given you my opinion based on putting 2 and 2 together and from observing how I personally feel when I'm hungry to when I'm stuffed with food. On one hand I've got so much energy and on the other I want to compete with the African lions to see who would win in a sleepathon or just simply being lethargic.
This is coming from someone who used to eat 13500 calories a day for 6 months straight. Not any more thank God.

He did a whole thread about it, mate. Even with that, hunger was his undoing
No. Not on people eating huge amounts and exercising, only on people eating huge amounts and sitting on the couch watching Oprah. Turns out that's bad for you. I blame Oprah, myself.has there ever been any studies done in regards to huge amounts of food (good food) over a long time i.e 15,20 + years.
There's no reason to suppose it'd be a problem, provided the person exercises to remain fit, flexible and strong. Like I said, they just poo more.Of course its not a big issue but we find it interesting that no1 ever says well maybe its coz you ate 365kgs of steak a yea, and about 730 cups of oats etc etc.
From what I remember large amounts of food causes oxidative stress, which is why 5 people are following a 9meals a day diet of 1500calories from what I remember which they claim they will live over 100yrs old as it causes less stress on their bodys...
Thats what my nutritionist lecturer told us lol so im assuming it does have an effect.
LOL, Ahh I know who your tlaking about here.. This person also tells us SOY food is healthy..
1 billion other physicians disagree..
Also Oxidative stress is a biproduct of life you canot avoid it daniel..
You know the kreb cycle? Well Oxidative stress is the of cellular resperation and ATP burning...
I.E life causes free radicals..
You can not avoid oxidative stress however you can add antioxidants to negate the free radical effects trying to steal irons from imporant cellular structures such as DNA.
Though eating too much causes too much of this oxidative stress therefore you will die 20yrs younger than what you were supposed too... Eat soy and live long and strong I say
