i’m with you john. i think the reason for doing this should be disease control. if a healthy longer life is the result, well, win/win. i moved to china a few years ago and have learned so much about nutrition. when i see the way many american’s eat and look now, thru new eyes, i’m astounded. it’s no wonder the health industry wants us to keep shopping down the middle isles. we keep those insurance CEO’s and drug companies in million$…

i have an uncle who began doing this when it was discovered that he has some serious cardio vascular challenges. he was never overweight, but was supposed to be deceased by 45. he is now in his 71st year, and from the neck down looks like he’s 40. it’s actually pretty amazing. in fact, all ppl i know that practice this in some form are the healthiest, least sick ppl that i know. i have developed some health issues myself, and have begun the process of working into this. two months in and i’ve lost weight, but more importantly, i feel so much better. and amazingly, i’ve LOST wrinkles!! cool.

Troy,
There are years of scientific research backing up the effects of this diet on multiple species, including dramatic effects on human blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Why do you call it pseudo science? I wouldn’t say that something is a fad just because you haven’t researched it. The fact is that
most Americans are gluttons and anyone that comes close to suggesting
this is attacked. Okinawans eat 40% less than Americans and live longer.
The goal isn’t to stay “forever young”, but to stave off many of the diseases that kill us, thus leading to a longer life. By the way, at his age, how is the president an example of a long life?

Ummm the president? Isn’t or wasn’t he a smoker? He doesn’t seem to eat right to me. Not the best example.

It’s not a fad, it’s a fact. Calorie restriction is well documented and while I myself have not been a subscriber, I am now looking into it because I know some family members who just naturally have eaten a diet similar to calorie restriction – making good food choices, small amounts and doing it several times a day – and they are young, vibrant and very healthy.
