The Longevity Diet: Discover Calorie Restriction -- the Only Proven Way to Slow the Aging Process and Maintain Peak Vitality

Synopsis
At last, a book that synthesises the Calorie Restriction (CR) diet for the layperson. CR is about eating highly nutritious foods in smaller quantity to extend your healthy years. Here is the concept: eat less but choose foods more carefully. The CR diet is a revolutionary diet that promises to "upregulate" the metabolism - what goes in is used more economically. Even more amazingly, the CR diet slows the aging process. It lengthens the periods of youth and middle age and substantially reduces the risk of virtually all the diseases of aging. The two authors, both CR practitioners, take the reader on a hand-held stroll through the process, including an introduction to CR, how to do it, and some of the key issues in the current dialogue.
