Just watched this show,fascinating. Some eye opening ideas!. Calorie restriction,Peleo diet, Raw Paleo diet ...the Fruitarians seemed almost normal!. Just don't ask about Fecal Transplants....!
I thought we were going to see a munro transfer on mainstream telly!
I wouldn't want to be living next door to the guy eating the raw sheep. And that CR couple looked really decrepit - were they really only in their mid 60s?
Theres a theory that the first person who could live for ever has already been born - that the rate at which life expectancy is increasing means someone born now would live to see the next life-extending innovation and as a result live to see the next one and the next one.
Just don't ask about Fecal Transplants....!
Not such a new idea as people imagine. Hitler suffered from 'Meteorism' - uncontrollable farting and was being treated for it with pills called Multaflor containing the shit of 'vigourous bulgarian peasants'

I think I'd live quite happily for a long time with Giles Coren.
Very watchable programme, the CR couple freaked Mrs 2000 and myself out though, very odd. The sh!t swapping thing nearly had me bring my dinner up, thought he was actually going to do it!
Glad it ended with the chap who just eats a bit less than normal and quite a balanced diet, at least that is almost achievable.
Oh and blue shorts fruitarian, happy to share a banana with her......
I like Victoria Coren.. A lot.
And that CR couple looked really decrepit - were they really only in their mid 60s?
yeah they looked terrible!

+1 unfortunately she was nowhere to be seen
Sorry Bro she's married to David Mitchell.

Another one who though the calorie restriction couple look old and decrepit for their age.
The paleo guy looked his age. Although doing well in the gym.
IMO people on fad diets 1: don't actually [i]like[/i] food and 2: hate themselves. In a previous age, they would have been religious fanatics taken to applying whips to their own bodies in self-disgust.
Also: Giles Coren is always worth paying attention to.
Calorie restriction may well increase your lifespan, but who wants to spend so many decades in utter misery?
And like the past 100s of programmes on diet, the best one is a balanced diet.

When he appeared with his shirt off the first thing I thought was "drugs". But then I'm a bit cynical.
completely agree with the CR couple, they are the same age as my mum and dad - my mum and dad are doing childcare today with my 1yo and 4yo daughters, no chance could they do that, and both of them had really bad teeth which is a sure sign that they have had no calcium or complex proteins
the bit where they opened a durian fruit was the bit where I laughed at the fuitbats, they truly stink (good job they were in a park) and not that tasty either
I keep misreading the thread title as 'eat liver forever'.
You sound like you know your onions.
The CR types looked like they'd shatter if you touched them. Drugs was my first reaction to Paleo man too. But whoever heard of an athlete from the 80s taking drugs?
Fecal Transplants
Is that like space docking?
Fecal Transplant has been used with amazing results to cure Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). It's application for other metabolic disorders looks quite promising.

Paleo diet guys were a bit Cultish weren't they.
I couldn't help thinking that section with the raw paeleo guy will be used in the future as library footage after he's killed and eaten his parents/neighbours/gay lover.
I thought the sheep was his lover
You sound like you know your onions.
I do, I'm 186 years old, have the body of a gymnast, shocking bad breath and i'm massively constipated.
But I do know what 'knowing your onions' means
skipped through the raw paleo guy...couldn't watch it.

With a nice Chianti and some Fava beans. No idea how long it will make you live for though.

Just like the Crossfit Covens which breed them 😉
just saw the end 10 minutes so will bbc iplayer but the elderly 113 gentleman at the end, highly impressive and giles coren summing up I thought was succinct, practical and intelligent...looked a great programme
I missed the programme, but that video is nonsense, but I wouldn't mind helping her work on her snatch etc, etc.
but that video is nonsense
That's because it's a piss take, the clue is in the title "Shit Paleo People Say".
Yeah I found it pretty interesting.
I'd like to see him follow up on everyone in the program in another few years as I'd imagine some of those fruitarians will be rather ill by that point, the CR couple will most likely no longer be with us, the fat burning beast will have either had a heart attack or be riddled with health problems from all the meat, Mr raw paleo will be a real life Dexter or Hannibal Lecter and the old boy will still be going strong. I couldn't believe he was 113 and could still move around like that.

Really!
I don't even know the context of the (obvious) pisstake. Thus nonsense.
