Yes, and energy saving mode means longer life span. Caloric deficit is one of the most widely proven ways for mammals to increse life.

Proven in lab animals in a very controlled setting. No one has even remotely suggested that it's extendable to humans in a normal environment. Caloric deficit for longevity is absolutely unproven to work in a natural state in any animal.

What proof is there that cavemen were healthier than us because of their no grain/ potato diet?

You go look at their bones and look for tell-tale signs of decay and damage. You can examine the heart cavity and see whether or not the heart was stressed.

You can also observe ancestral populations such as the Masai in Africa or the Inuit in the artic north. Just about every ancient culture was free from modern day diseases and consumed a diet extremely high in fat and protein but low in carbohydrate. On top of that, you can see what happens when western foods are introduced into these ancestral populations and the number of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and stroke skyrocket.

Modern day food is extremely nutrient poor. All the bread, pasta, and grains in the world can't match a single serving of liver in terms of nutrients. A can of coke and two pieces of bread are pretty much the same in terms of nutrition. No fats, barely any protein (and that protein is often detrimental in the case of gluten if you are sensitive to it), no vitamins (the USDA demands fortification of grains with B vitamins in order to shore them up), no minerals. All you get is a megadose of insulin compared to a decent meal of proteins and fats.
