Is it possible? Yes I absolutely think so. I found this photo that I forgot about, because well quite frankly I didn't like how I looked in it so didn't need reminding. What is interesting is that most people think I look younger now at almost age 24, than I did when I was 19 years of age. Another reason to go on CR, you can look so much younger and get quick results. You'll age more slowly than your peers as the years go by. I have other photos if I can find them and I look younger now than I did even when I was 17.
Did you know that SIRT1 blocks NF Kappa B activation? Which is involved in inflammation... Calorie Restriction up regulates SIRT1, and probably reverses aging of the skin. Here is a bbc news article explaining what happened when they blocked NFKappaB in skin
By blocking the protein in older mice for two weeks, they found the skin was thicker and more cells appeared to be dividing, much like the skin of a younger mouse.

You do look younger. You look especially great in the more recent photo! Very healthy and stylish.
Your entries are always so interesting, Matt! You definitely look younger. You looked young in the first picture too, but your weight looks more youthful now (and, yes, CR also probably prevented other signs of aging from creeping up since then).
I admire your ability to stick with this for so long. I have been trying to transition into CRON eating for the last year...any advice to those who are having trouble adjusting to the mental challenge? (IE food = comfort)
You look younger now than you did at 18! Amazing. I would love to talk to you more about this diet. I'm very interested in doing it. I'm 19 right now and I want to start early.
