I’ve written extensively about the rich habits of eating less and eating healthy because I found in my Rich Habits Study that this is what most self-made rich people do.
Self-made rich people, according to my research, exercised almost every day, moderated how much they ate, and when they did eat, they ate healthy for the most part.
As for eating less, my research indicates that men consume no more than 1,900 to 2,200 calories per day. For women, this is somewhere between 1,600 and 1,900 calories per day.
Many of the self-made millionaires in my study said that eating less boosted their health, energy and longevity, allowing them to work into their late 60s and accumulate more wealth.
Since graduating college, I’ve been on a quest to find independent studies that confirmed the claims of the self-made millionaires from my Rich Habits Study.
What follows is some of the third-party research I discovered.
CALERIE is a two-year study into the health effects of reducing the daily amount of food. In this study, 218 people were divided into two groups.
Group 1 ate whatever they wanted. Group #2 reduced their calories by 12%.
Group #2 saw a 10% reduction in total body weight. Group #2 was able to maintain that weight loss for two years (the duration of the study).
Group #2 saw a 4% reduction in blood pressure, a 6% reduction in cholesterol levels and a 47% reduction in C-reactive protein, a protein that causes heart disease.
The conclusion of this study was that eating less reduces chronic diseases, increases energy and increases your life expectancy.
In another study conducted by Valter Longo, director of the University of Southern California’s Longevity Institute, he found that a 34% to 54% decrease in daily calories lowered blood sugar levels and IGF-1, a growth hormone.
Decreased blood sugar levels are associated with a reduced risk of type II diabetes.
Decreased levels of IGF-1 extend the life of cells in your body.
In this study, they also found that eating too much protein can dramatically increase the incidence of cancer by 400%.
The conclusion of this study was that you eat less And Eating well reduced chronic diseases and increased your life expectancy.
The main take-away here is to eat less and eat well. If you eat right and keep your calories low, you will live a longer, healthier life. A longer, healthier life increases your chances of achieving your dreams and achieving your goals.
As one of the self-made millionaires in my study said, “It’s hard to make money while lying in a hospital bed.”
It is difficult or impossible to realize your dreams and achieve your goals when you are chronically ill.
Get healthy, your wealth depends on it.
