Eat Right 4 Your Type The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy Living Longer and Achieving Your Ideal Weight

If you’ve ever wondered why the latest fad diet doesn’t work for you… well, there are lots of reasons, mostly the fact that it’s a fad diet. But it could also be that you’re the wrong blood type for the kinds of foods the diet recommends. Peter D’Adamo makes a persuasive argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells you which foods you’ll process best, and which will be useless calories. He covers the entire range for each of the four blood types, from entr

The CR Way Using the Secrets of Calorie Restriction for a Longer Healthier Life

The CR Way Using the Secrets of Calorie Restriction for a Longer Healthier Life

When it comes to living longer, scientists are discovering that less is more. 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. And, if needed, you’ll lose weight and keep it off.

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. Groundbreaking and controversial, The CR Way is your key to a happier, healthier life.

3 Stars Good book, but mixed messages.
I think overall that the value added from living the CR way is solid. That said, I think the authors did a disservice to their readers to lay out elaborate efforts to activate the SIRT1 gene only to take it back with the warning that our vitamins which usually contain nicotinamide effectively block the expression of the gene. See page 7 of the book. Google nicotinamide and find out that it and nictonic acid make up niacin, Vitamin B3 an essential vitamin we can’t do without. So what are we left with? No practical advice on managing our vitamins which we need with the knowledge that one of them deactivates a crucial gene we need to assure our longevity. Lower your glucose so you can activate SIRT1 only to have your one a day block it. Deducting 2 stars from what is otherwise a wonderful book.

5 Stars CR Way Paul Mclothlin
This has been an eye opener as far as calorie restriction and good health. I truly value this book and the wonderful recipes they have.

4 Stars Good in theory
As 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.

4 Stars Very Original “Diet” Book
The 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.

4 Stars Ideal recommendations based on science
Years ago when I homeschooled my kids, I used a curriculum guide with highly unattainable goals. If you followed it precisely, you would need 36-hour days. But, it was great as a resource from which I would pick and choose ideas. I’m using ‘The CR Way’ much the same way. Other reviewers may see this book as too ambitious, but as experience has taught me, good habits tend to multiply over time. What might appear over-the-top to me today, just might seem logical and doable in the future. As they say: “Never say never.”

Still, at the moment, some of the advice in ‘The CR Way’ isn’t practical or desirable for me. Feeling alive and in vibrant health is a core goal of mine. My version of CRON needs to be consistent with that. So I won’t be eating a ‘tease meal’ before breakfast, as these authors suggest. Nor will I be eating most of my calories in the morning and poking myself with a glucometer several times.

These practices would make me feel like a sick person. I just won’t go there. At least, not until I need to. And truthfully, one of the reasons I’m attracted to CRON in the first place is a desire to stay away from glucometers, pills, doctors and needles.

I used to be a ‘junk food’ vegan–lots of pasta, baked goodies, bread, etc. This book, and others in the same vein such as Fuhrman, Hyman, McDougall, etc, are helping me reform my grainiac ways. I love the idea of eating nutrient-dense foods, and can’t wait to try out some of the vegetarian recipes in the ‘CR Way.’ Most, but not all, are plant-based recipes, which pleases me enormously, but the real kicker is this: Many appear easy and time-efficient, a nice departure from the labor-intensive recipes I’ve been making lately.

These authors have given us the gift of laying out in great detail their CRON lifestyle. I think of it as a case-study based on good science, but is up to interested readers to pull out what seems practical to do in their own lives. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in living well and retaining health through their golden years. The longevity angle: nice, but no guarantee.

Dr Andrew Weils Healthy Aging

Dr Andrew Weils Healthy Aging

Many of the words of wisdom dispensed by Andrew Weil, “America’s most trusted physician,” in the course of Healthy Aging are elementary, even obvious. But that doesn’t make them any less relevant, as Weil takes on an issue that most in this youth-obsessed culture would just as soon ignore. Originally aired on PBS, this program is essentially an 85-minute lecture by the Harvard-educated doc, a prolific author and Integrative Medicine pioneer now based at the University of Arizona; sans props, guests, or bells and whistles of any sort, it’s all rather static. What’s more, while his assertions that aging is not necessarily synonymous with diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s and that memory loss and aging don’t have to go hand in hand are provocative, we’re more than a third into it before Weil delivers any really practical ideas for those 60 and over whose goal is what he calls “compression of morbidity”–i.e., living not only long, but well. Even then, it should come as no surprise that eliminating certain unhealthy (i.e., fast-digesting) fats, oils, and carbohydrates from one’s diet, engaging in regular and age-appropriate physical activity, sleeping well, and managing stress are key steps along that path. Still, Weil articulates these points in engaging, articulate fashion, and some of his specific recommendations (such as keeping the mind active by learning new things, practicing yoga-like breathing exercises, or composing an “ethical will” that will record one’s personal values, wisdom, and experience) have considerable worth and appeal. For those unwilling to wade through the wealth of talk and information that occupies the first hour or so, these topics are summarized near the end of the DVD in Weil’s “12-Point Program.” –Sam Graham
