Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hello all veteran CR support members, lurkers, and newbies.. I have lurked your posts for many months, and am inspired by the generosity of your guidance to one another and the persistence with which you pursue reliable information. While my father's name, Dr. Roy Walford, may be familiar to you, my own history with Cr most probably is not. I have been following my father's principals for almost twelve years now. It is no longer something I consciously attend to, it really has become the backbone of health that supports my other interests in life. I am introducing myself in this way to set the example that CR can be and perhaps should be a means rather than an end. It can be the launch pad for the best part of your life, the healthiest part of your life, at whatever age you begin.. Along with DeLaney, I have been writing a book on CR that would introduce it's basic principals in lay person's terms along with a practicum and examples of real people who are on some form of Cr.. And you are the people! Your stories are really good.. the 90 degree turns (through out most of the junk), the slow down stories (losing too fast), the dead end stories (different styles), the green light stories (some of these include pictures), the husband, wife and children stories.. It is through our struggles and triumphs that we recognize possibilities. And it is through the details of your stories that those possibilities come to life. If any of you would consider sharing your stories with me for this book, we would all be most appreciative. Especially the many future newbies who will see themselves in your words.. Please consider the following as suggestions for your story. I will collect and review all submissions, and, with your permission, post the top six.. If you do send me material, please include permission to use it in our book. For possible inclusion in THE CR DIET, A Practical Guide to Living 120 Vital Years. Getting the Most from What You Eat with Calorie Restriction, by M DeLaney and Walford. 1) How long have you been on Cr? 2) What motivated you to begin? 3) How did you start? 4) What were your strategies? 5) What was the most difficult part? 6) And the most surprising part? 7) Did you have any biomarkers taken before you began? 8) What did your friends or family think? and your doctor? 9) Do you exercise? 10) Are there any other tricks or programs that you found helpful to stick with it? Motivational guides? I myself have been through several chapters to arrive at CR as a simple lifestyle. Those included a raw chapter, a fasting chapter, and currently a vegan chapter.. Onward: paths may be many but the truth is one, CR will better us all... thanks for your consideration.....
