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.

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.

 Rating:  - Calorie Restriction with Optimal NutritionOne 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.

Rating: - Good in theoryAs a physician, I try to keep abreast of the latest regarding nutrition. It is hard to argue with the evidence presented in this book, and the authors make a great arguement for calorie restriction. It is well written and easy to understand. The only problem I encountered was the application. The authors live in a different world than the rest of us when it comes to how they eat, not necessarily what they eat. Thus I found about half the book unapplicable to my lifestyle. Rating: - Very Original "Diet" BookThe CR Way: Using the Secrets of Calorie Restriction for a Longer, Healthier Life Very insightful read. Biology and nutrition are my favorite topics to read about. This really delivers an interesting perspective that you won't find in other books. An original approach that will open your eyes and let you appreciate the information that these well-informed authors have gathered and provided. |
