Product Description
At last, a book that synthesizes the increasingly popular concept of calorie restriction (CR)--a life-extending eating strategy with "profound and sustained beneficial effects," according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences The Longevity Diet offers clear, straightforward principles for devising an effective eating regimen to live longer and reduce the risks of virtually all the diseases of aging. The concept is simple and flexible---eat fewer calories and choose foods carefully. And it is supported by science: studies on lab mice and other mammals have led to lifespans the human equivalent of which are over 140 years, and many suggest that the benefits extend to humans. Longtime CR practitioners and experts Brian M. Delaney and Lisa Walford clearly explain the relevant health and nutrition guidelines and provide all of the tools you need to make the appropriate dietary changes. The results can be dramatic: those who follow CR have quickly lowered their cholesterol and blood pressure and reduced body fat. Find out why a growing number of people are choosing the Longevity Diet lifestyle and let this book empower you to achieve a lifetime of healthy eating and living--whether your priorities are to live longer, reduce disease risks, lose weight, or simply feel and look healthier.

delaney and walford really know their stuff. like any good book, "the longevity diet" is hard to put down. seemingly complex information is presented in a very reader-friendly way. when you get halfway through the book, you are instructed to put the book down and record what you normally eat for one week ... your normal eating habits of when, what, and how much. honestly, it was hard not to keep on reading but i put the book down and focused on the task at hand. now, i'm on the second half ... the part where you design the diet that meets your lifestyle based on "how" your body tells you to eat. i'm actually excited that the recording week is over and i can get into the design phase!!!

if you're thinking Calorie Restriction, read this book! by C. Fournier (Plymouth MA)

You'll receive plenty of nutritional information and Brian Delaney and Lisa Walford guide you in starting this remarkable and healthy way of life.

I thought this book would be the most informational since it's written by the president of Calorie Restriction Society but instead it talks about Calorie Restriction in great platitudes and vaguely references any real steps, there are no directions or practical advice. Worst of all, in every chapter, nearly every page, there is a mention that "Calorie Restriction may not be right for you" or "If you're thinking this may not be right for you..." which is really annoying. I had already thought it was right for me before I picked up the book, why would the author keep trying to talk me out of it?
