Calories can only be restricted temporarily. Your body has finite stores of energy until you run out of it and die of starvation.

So over long periods of time, you consume almost exactly as much calories as you use.

The only way to consume less calories over your lifetime is to use less calories over your lifetime. And for this you need to move less.

So "calorie restriction" is opposite from higher activity levels (exercise).
