i am allergic to all nuts and several fruits. i am also a vegetarian and so hard to find a diet that will work with my lifestyle/food allergies. i wish i could eat nuts since they have so much protein. this looks like a great way to eat as you get older. thanks for the tips.

This is nothing new, because eating less food is thousands of yrs old, in biblical or ancient times people ate very little and lived several centuries, also Elijah Muhammad of the N.O.I,also had his followers eating one meal a day over 70 years ago!

DrCate – I couldn’t disagree more with your utterly pointless statement. Research IS ongoing and HAS been tested with animals of many types ranging from mice to chimpanzees for the last 20 years with regards to calorie restriction. The latest information suggests that calorie restriction diets activate a “longevity” gene that puts the body in a quick metabolism state. There is fundamental evolutionary research that suggests that this “survival” gene may be an adaptation that allows survival long enough during “lean” times for normal reproduction. Given that laboratory testing is ongoing and shows a very positive effect, you should not simply dismiss something like this without at least learning something about it.

The definition of a caloric restriction used in these research papers is anything less than ad libitum. The research simply suggests that eating less than all-you-want is better. There is no animal research suggesting lifespan will increase if you go hungry. That would constitute animal cruelty and the studies couldn’t be done.

eating lots and lots of fish, seaweed, green tea and vegitables are very effective in anti-aging.
and drinking more water.

I watched a segment on 60 minutes about this, but i think this diet is more for the benefits of anti-aging than it is for weight loss because you really need those calories to burn fat. But i suppose if you do this for a few years you will start trimming down
