Anyone see Oprah on June 30, 2009, talking about a calorie restriction diet?
From what Dr. Oz said, it can basically add years, if not decades, to your life.
Basically, you limit your calorie intake to a minimum, but what you do eat is full of nutrients, so that in effect, what your body absorbs is hyper nutritional.
Dr. Oz said the body's cells work more efficentally and thus, the cells don't age as fast, and thus you live longer.
Oprah said a man named Joe in her audience could live to be 150 years old. Dr. Oz kept saying people could live to be 120.
At 5′9″, Joe weighs 130 pounds. He may not look like a person who needs to count calories, but as part of his life extension program, he monitors every morsel of food that passes through his system. Every day for the past seven years, Joe has limited himself to about 1,950 calories. Joe doesn't deprive himself of food. Instead, this 51-year-old father fills up on natural fruits, vegetables and lean proteins that are packed with essential vitamins and nutrients. “Whenever you're thinking about calorie restriction, you should continually think about getting the most nutritional bang per calorie,” Joe says.
Joe was shown with a scale, measuring everything he ate. In one scene, he peeled an apple and only ate the skin. He threw in blueberries, and I think raspberries and wal-nuts, and he had a nutritional breakfast. He then ate what he said was 3 pounds of salad for lunch.
I searched for about 20 minutes on the Internet, and didn't actually find a "calorie restriction diet plan." So, to me, that means eat as healthy as you can afford, measure your calories, and limit your calories to about 1900 per day.
Seems a lot of folks on the Internet are just trying to sell a book on the CR subject. I couldn't even find specific info on Oprah's website.
Joe on Oprah said he eats fruits, vegetables and lean protein. Sounds like a diet I want to try.
Wish me luck!
