I've got 6 posts on caloric restriction with these interesting lines in them; What is your doctors answer to this idea? Would it help your stroke recovery?

Caloric restriction has been showed to increase levels of a protein in the brain called BDNF. This protein is thought to be involved in the generation of new brain cells, Mattson said.

Research on animals also suggests caloric restriction reduces neurological damage after a stroke, but only on young or middle-aged animals.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) decided to dig further and ask: Could calorie restriction also delay nerve cell loss in the brain – and the changes in learning and memory that go along with it?

Calorie restriction of 20 to 30 percent will increase neurogenesis. Intermittent fasting -- spacing the time between your meals -- will increase neurogenesis.

It’s already well known that a diet may have a life-extending effect. Researchers from Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena, Germany, now showed that besides improving the functionality of stem cells in mice, a caloric restriction also leads to a fatale weakening of their immune system

Body-composition changes in the Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy (CALERIE)-2 study: A 2-y randomized controlled trial of calorie restriction in nonobese humans
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 03/02/2017
This
study was performed to assessed the impact of a 2–y calorie restriction
(CR) regimen on body composition including the impact of sex and body
mass index (BMI; in kg/m2) among participants selected in
CALERIE–2 (Comprehensive Assessment of Long–term Effects of Reducing
Intake of Energy). It was concluded that 2–years of CR had extensively
ideal impacts on both whole–body and regional adiposity that could
facilitate healthspan in humans. The decrements in FFM were commensurate
with the decreased body mass; in spite of the fact that men in the CR
group lost more FFM than the women did, the percentage of FFM in the men
in the CR group was higher than at baseline.
Methods
- For this study they designed a multicenter, randomized controlled trial.
- A sum of 218 non obese adults participants 21–51 y old (BMI: 21.9–28.0) who were randomly assigned to 25% CR (CR, n = 143) or ad libitum control (AL, n = 75) in a 2:1 ratio.
- Measures at baseline and 12 and 24 mo included body weight, waist circumference, fat mass (FM), fat–free mass (FFM), and appendicular mass by dual–energy X–ray absorptiometry; activity–related energy expenditure (AREE) by doubly labeled water; and dietary protein consumption by self–report.
- In this study values are expressed as means ± SDs.
Results
- They found the CR group achieved 11.9% ± 0.7% CR over 2–y and had significant reductions in weight (–7.6 ± 0.3 compared with 0.4 ± 0.5 kg), waist circumference (–6.2 ± 0.4 compared with 0.9 ± 0.5 cm), FM (–5.4 ± 0.3 compared with 0.5 ± 0.4 kg), and FFM (–2.0 ± 0.2 compared with –0.0 ± 0.2 kg) at 24 mo relative to the AL group (all between–group P < 0.001).
- Moreover, FFM as a percentage of body weight at 24 mo was higher, and percentage of FM was lower in the CR group than in the AL.
- AREE, but not protein consumption, predicted preservation of FFM during CR (P < 0.01).
- Men in the CR group lost significantly more trunk fat (P= 0.03) and FFM expressed as a percentage of weight reduction (P < 0.001) than women in the CR group.
