Since it is working, it is wearing out faster. That would seem to be common sense, but it never struck me before. (Wasn't told that in health class) >_<

Kind of a scary thought. That would be reason enough to make someone want to diet! I know it would work on me!
Yeah, processing and using energy breaks down your cells over time. The research is based on mice kept on a near starvation diet. But you really wouldn't have any energy to do anything on a diet like that, so you would probably live a better life if you were eating the right amount of calories to do the things you want to do.
