Before they ate they were immortal beings who were slated to live forever. Their immortal life ended that day, and Adam's outside of the garden life began that day. He died to God and was reborn unto sin. The moment he ate his immortality died, and the clock on his mortal life began.
It's very handy that the verses of the Bible can mean whatever you want them to. Not only does the verse sound like a lie, so does the explanation for why it isn't.
