You'll have to work that into your program when you develop it. Well, I do stretch. I can get pretty close, but not quite, to doing the splits (side splits, the normal ones), and I do the bridge most days, and hold it for a minute or a minute and a half.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi all - I have been looking into CR for a couple of years. At present I am a female 5'6, 120 pounds. I have been looking into CR for several years but haven't jumped into it because my natural eating pattern is already lower in calories than most. I think all my life I have practiced a little bit of CR without realizing it. I have always skipped breakfasts, eaten a light lunch, and a large dinner. That's why about a month ago I started doing the " Warrior Diet " -- basically water fasting during the day and eating 1200 calories or so at the evening meal. I've never felt better. I have all kinds of energy, I'm exercising much more than I ever have with better results, and people have actually commented on how good I look! The reason I started doing the Warrior Diet (actually a modified version) is because of the recent studies that showed intermittent fasting in rodents had serious aging and cancer-fighting benefits. I really do believe that calorie restriction and/or intermittent fasting is the secret to healty longevity. Plus, I'm Italian, so I believe red wine, espresso, and the occasional plate of pasta contribute to well-being as well! I'd like to participate in this forum. I've been reading a lot of the older posts and have learned a lot. This is a great place to find scientific studies. I have Dr. Walford's books and am finding my own CRON-Warrior-style way in the world. Other info: I'm a lacto- ovo-vegetarian but I supplement with fish oil. Ever since adding the fish oil to my diet and going " warrior " I have seen my gray hair reverse. I actually have hairs on my head that are gray at the tips and black at the roots. I have premature gray at 30... I guess it was some kind of deficiency. Anyway, glad to be here and look forward to learning from all of you!

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Several of us have started to reverse gray hair by improving our nutrition with CR diet. And some of us have quit losing our hair too. Congratulations on your " warrior " diet. It seems like a natural to eat only once a day, once you become accustomed to it. It is just plain easy, saves time, and makes life so simple. -- Warren On 19 Apr 2004, anna_bella2010 wrote: > > Hi all - I have been looking into CR for a couple of years. > At present I am a female 5'6, 120 pounds.
