introduction and suggestion

August 4, 2004

Hi,

I'm Leigh -- 38 years old, 5'2 " , 110 lbs., and using CR to help

maintain recent weight loss in a healthy way. Maybe I will extend my

healthy years in the process. I average about 1500 calories a day. I

appreciate all the information I have received from this list and the list

at calorierestriction.org. Thank you for sharing your experiences and tips.

Your collective determination helps me stay the course!

I noticed that you are listing foods that are associated with preventing

certain conditions and illnesses. I would suggest that as part of that

list, you note any cautions that have been associated with the food. For

instance, it seems that some CR practicioners have reported an allergy or

sensitivity to brazil nuts. Another example may concern soy products.

There my be studies that soy products inhibit some conditions, but my be

implicated in others.

Finally, I wanted to tell all of you about a great celebratory recipe I just

tried. It is my husband's birthday, and I wanted to give him a treat that

would be good for both of us. The authors of the Okinawa Diet have a

website that features a recipe of the week. The recipe this week is Sweet

Potato Mousse with Green Tea Creme. A dish like it is supposedly served for

birthday celebrations in Okinawa. The mousse clocks in at 162 calories a

serving and is packed with nutrition. My husband pronounced it " delicious. "

I served it with jasmine tea, grapes, cucumbers, and a little salmon for a

Japanese style birthday breakfast. You can find the recipe and nutritional

Have a health-filled day!
