Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition 4 out of 5 stars.

One of my favorite books dealing with healthy lifestyle is Can We Live 150. The author of the book simply states that we should EAT TO LIVE instead of living to eat. It is a great concept and many of us should be giving some attention to that. Most of the contents of this book, "CR Way", actually evolves around this idea.
As the author of the book "Can We Live 150" says, "full health does not depend on miraculous medication and formulas that cause weight loss or aging reversal, but on the lifestyle that is in harmony with nature." The authors of "CR Way" conclude that "by restricting calories while eating nutrient-dense foods, CR practitioners seek to activate the body's innate longevity system. (...) It is all about building a positive, vital engine that will make your life better, happier, more productive, and longer."
The acronym CR stands for Calorie Restriction. And that is what the book is all about. There is a theory that calorie restriction can greatly benefit one's longevity. One of the best known authors dealing with this issue is Dr. Roy Walford who wrote a number of books on the subject. In "CR Way" the authors present and explain the newest relevant scientific research and show how to put it into practice.
I recommend this book both for people wanting to live better, healthier and longer life, and for people who are concerned about such fatalities as cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. According to the authors, living the CR way greatly diminish the chance of getting any of these diseases. Whether that is true or not, a sound approach to CRON (Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition) will increase one's appreciation of food, and generally lead to a better quality of life.
The authors introduce in the book an exceptional glucose-control system. This system is supported by interesting, low-glycemic food recipes and moderate exercise suggestions designed to keeping your glucose levels low.
The key points of the CR Way lifestyle are:
- cooking food less
- eating moderate amounts of protein
- finishing any food intake by early afternoon
I also found very useful the Appendices with some answers to most common questions. Appendix 3 is actually devoted to Frequently Asked Questions.
Other books that I recommend:
Nutritional Healing
Can We Live 150
as well as other books by Tombak, Fuhrman, Hyman, McDougall,
and also my latest discovery:
Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life...
Editorial Review:
When it comes to living longer, scientists are discovering that less is more. By following Calorie Restriction, a revolutionary diet that provides the body with fewer calories than is traditionally required, people are getting dramatic benefits. Now, with The CR Way, you too can slow the aging process; protect against cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes; and increase your energy and mental capabilities. And, if needed, you'll lose weight and keep it off.
Paul McGlothin and Meredith Averill, leaders of the Calorie Restriction Society, provide quick and easy menus and recipes so delicious that you will wonder why you ever wanted to eat more than you need. And for those who want some of the benefits without sacrificing all the calories, the authors will show you how to plan a diet that works for you. Groundbreaking and controversial, The CR Way is your key to a happier, healthier life.
