There is an abundance of animal research that indicates if you eat far below your caloric maintenance, that you are going to live a lot longer.

It also is important to note that blood pressure reductions occurred in patients even though they remained obese with (a body mass index) in the 35 range, which is still not ideal, further suggesting that weight loss itself -- in this study, achieved through gastric bypass surgery -- can improve health outcomes.

When it comes to calories, think before you drink anything.

In counseling patients who are considering gastric bypass surgery, this study will help us to identify those patients who can reasonably expect the long-lasting health benefits from significantly reduced blood pressure.
