	Calorie restriction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Calorie restriction or Caloric restriction (CR) is the practice of limiting dietary energy intake to improve health and retard aging.
		Michael Cooper claims that the widely purported effects of calorie restriction may be because a diet containing more calories can increase bacterial proliferation, or that the type of high calorie diets used in past experiments have a stickiness, general composition, or texture that reduces longevity.
		Calorie restriction comes into conflict with the high calorie needs of athletes, and may not provide them adequate levels of energy or sufficient amino acids for repair.

	Calorie Restriction with Optimum Nutrition (CRON)
		Calorie Restriction (CR) is a diet in which calorie intake is reduced, compared to diets that do not limit consumption.
		The mice on 40% calorie restricted diets grow to be adults which are approximately 51% of the size of mice fed ad libitum.[4] Masoro[5] also reported that rats started on a 40% CR diet at 6 weeks of age had lower weights.
		As the calories in the diet are reduced, it is necessary to assure that the food contains all the necessary nutrients in the proportions needed by the body and that the body is able to utilize the nutrients provided.

	Anti Aging Diet
		Calorie Restriction (CR) is the process of limiting caloric intake with the intention of slowing down aging.
		Research into Calorie Restriction has continued for many years - concluding that the lifespan of many animals (rats, monkeys, spiders) is extended when calorie intake is restricted.
		The difficulty of Calorie Restriction is that sufficient nutrition (vitamins and minerals) must be maintained while lowering energy intake as much as possible.

	Calorie Restriction
		Calorie restriction with optimal nutrition (CRON) is a way of eating that was at first quite controversial but is now becoming more and more popular because of the successful results in both mice and humans.
		It is important to differentiate between calorie restriction with proper nutrition and eating disorders such as anorexia.
		People who practice CRON restrict calories not to lose weight, but to extend their lives.

	FuturePundit: Surprising Calorie Restriction Life Extension Result With Flies
		Calorie restriction is not necessary to extend the lives of drosophila melanogaster fruit flies.
		The standard restricted diet had equivalent amounts of yeast and sugar (65 grams each) and an estimated caloric content of 521, while the yeast-restricted (65 g yeast/150 g sugar) and sugar-restricted (65 g sugar/150 g yeast) diets each had just over 860 calories.
		Perhaps calorie restriction mimetic drugs will eventually provide a way to get the benefits (assuming there are any) of calorie without living with continuous hunger.

	Calorie Restriction with Optimum Nutrition: An Introduction
		Calorie Restriction with Optimum Nutrition, or CRON, is an acronym given to a diet -- and a lifestyle -- by doctor and UCLA professor of pathology, Roy L. Walford.
		Since then, other scientists (e.g., Weindruch and Spindler) have come to similar conclusions: Calorie Restriction is the only proven, research-backed technique currently known to science which extends lifespan and ones "healthy years".
		The magic of calorie restriction has been proven for all types of living things: from microorganisms, cats, dogs, cattle and, more recently, primates.

	Benifits of Calorie Restriction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The goal is rather to eat fewer calories, while not consuming fewer vitamins, minerals, and other components of a healthy diet, and by doing so achieve a longer and healthier life.
		Calorie restriction (CR) has extended the 39-month maximum life span of mice to an impressive 56 months, which would correspond proportionally to a 158 year-old human.
		These well-established facts are why the CR diet is now one of the principal areas of research in gerontology, and is receiving major emphasis from the National Institute on Aging.

		The diet is fairly simple: Over a period of at least one to two years, switch from calorie-dense foods to calorie-sparse, nutrient-dense foods to safely reduce the number of calories in your diet.
		Hashmi acknowledges the diet could be dangerous in the hands of the lazy or those with psychological disorders, but he said those people wouldn’t last as long on the diet since it does make dieters very hungry.
		They reported that the people on the diet, who were 35 to 82 years old, had the same risk for cardiovascular disease as people in their 20s, and that their average blood pressure is equivalent to an average 10-year-old.

	low fat diet
		The calorie restriction diet works in the short term but the results are not sustained.
		This is most likely due to the fact that it’ really difficult to restrict your calories to the level that is required to loose weight as this will inevitably lead to cravings and hunger.
		The Lyon diet is the so-called Mediterranean diet.
	weightloss.beldholm.com /news/lowfat.html (575 words)

	Calories That Count
		The CR diet closely resembles the Mediterranean diet and consists of 750 calories per meal, with 20% calories from fat, 20% from protein, and 60% from complex carbohydrates, such as fruits and vegetables.
		This Diet consists of 50 to 55 percent complex carbohydrates of the paleocarb type (seeds, legumes, above ground green leafy vegetables) 20 to 25 percent protein (preferably from plant, fish, and egg), 25 to 30 percent fat, and 5 percent sweets, candies and dessert.
		This is in sharp contrast to the typical North American diet in which 46 percent of the calories are from carbohydrates, 11 percent from protein and 43 percent from fat.

	The Longevity Meme -- live healthily - fight aging - extend your life
		Calorie restriction (CR) is a strategy - a lifestyle choice when practiced by humans - proven to extend healthy and maximum life span in rodents and primates.
		A calorie restriction diet aims to reduce your intake of calories to a level 20-40% lower than is typical, while still obtaining all the necessary nutrients and vitamins.
		Calorie restriction is still the only widely available tool in the longevity toolkit today, which, when you stop to think about it, is a rather sorry state of affairs.

	Whyser's Xanga Site
		Oftentimes you hear someone say, "I'm going on a diet", and almost everytime you hear that, you know that they are somehow going to restrict the amount of food and calories they are going to eat..
		If you stick with a calorie restriction diet, you may see the initial results, but you will eventually notice that it will take you longer and longer to lose weight.
		But what happens in a calorie restriction diet is that your body resorts to burning off fat stores, muscle tissue, and even organ tissues, just to keep up with amount of calories you need in a day.

		It involves calorie restriction, the so-called CR diet, one of the most extensively studied of all gerontologic phenomena, and we now have good clues as to how it works.
		With a naturally long-lived strain of mice, half were kept on a normal diet and half on a diet restricted in calories but adequate in everything else (sometimes referred to as a CRAN diet, for "calorie restriction with adequate nutrition").
		Work was first conducted demonstrating that mean and maximum life spans are extended via calorie restriction, and that a wide variety of age-related diseases occur less frequently and at later chronological ages in CR than in control animals.

	Calorie-restricted diet could slow aging
		Previous studies have reported that calorie-restricted diets could prolong the lives of rodents and other short-lived species, but, until now, no such human study has been undertaken to investigate the effects of such diets on markers of human aging.
		Both the calorie restriction and calorie restriction with exercise groups lost about 10 per cent during the trial, while the low-calorie group lost on average 14 per cent, in keeping with the design study.
		Weight loss was not the primary focus of the study however, and positive results for the calorie restriction were observed for markers of aging.

	Cut calories by a quarter, and life may be longer: US study
		Eating about 25 percent fewer calories for six months could tip the scales in favor of a longer life, according to a US research study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
		But those on a calorie restriction diet ended the study with lower fasting insulin levels and lower core body temperatures.
		Holloszy, who was among several researchers more than a decade ago to demonstrate that a strict calorie-reduced diet in mice and rats increased their longevity by about 30 percent, said the latest finding further revealed diet's role in aging.

	Discovery Health :: Two Techniques That Claim to Outwit Aging
		When a woman limits her calories to 1,100 in a day, or a man takes in only 1,500, the diet seems too drastic to last long.
		But following rat, monkey and Labrador retriever studies that suggest severe calorie restriction might significantly lengthen the animals' lives, human believers are jumping on the diet-wagon in the hopes of increasing their own longevity.
		Scientists don't know how calorie restriction works to extend lifespan, but it seems to achieve biochemical changes that might, or might not, have to do with reduction of free radicals — marauders that wreak havoc on our cells.

	Compare Diets – One Lowers Blood Pressure – Other Extends Life - Calorie Restriction Diet Verses DASH Diet
		Two doctors in the original DASH diet group have recommended a modification in their original regimen to help reduce triglycerides and increase the good HDL cholesterol, by increasing fat and protein in the diet.
		The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet developed in the 1990s was designed to lower blood pressure, and at that time was the only diet proven to this.
		This seems reasonable, but just last month a study was published that showed people who said they limited their salt intake were 37% more likely to die from coronary heart disease or stroke when compared with those who ate more than the US recommended daily allowance of 2,300 milligrams a day.

	Life in the Fasting Lane - Calorie Restriction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I decided it was worth a try in my case for two reasons: (1) restricting calories was a way to lose weight, something I still needed to do; and (2) practicing calorie restriction can enhance the body's defenses against disease and aging.
		So restricting calories seemed to be not to difficult a task for me. Although I had to adjust myself to the feelings of hunger pangs at times during the day.
		If calorie restriction could give my health a boost at the cellular level, then maybe that would mean slowing down the advancing numbness, or even reversing it.

	Calorie Restriction Lowers Heart Risk
		In the small study comparing people who practice calorie restriction as a lifestyle with those who ate a more typical Western diet, the calorie-restricted group had dramatically reduced risks of heart disease and diabetes.
		The group advocates consuming between 10% and 25% fewer calories than is considered normal while being careful to maintain proper nutrition.
		Eighteen study participants -- including three women -- on calorie restriction had been following the diet for as little as three years and as long as 15, and their daily intake of calories ranged from about 1,100 to 1,950, depending on height, weight, and gender.
