I’ve been reading a bit online, and while I understand that long term caloric restriction may increase life expectancy, caloric restriction (long or short term) may weaken the immune system. While the risk may be acceptable for some that are at a very unhealthy weight, maybe it isn’t worth it for those merely overweight. Has anyone considered this and have you changed your behavior, goals, or weight loss timeline as a result, particularly with the coronavirus risk?
Why I’m asking: 5’11 male that has gone from 175 to 160 over the past 3 months (previous high 235 many years ago). I’m closing in on abdominal definition, but it’ll probably take another month. I’m at a healthy weight now and the last 5 pounds will be the hardest weight I’ve ever lost. Not sure if I’m just making an excuse because the going is getting tough, or if this is a legit concern as the coronavirus picks up steam in the US.
