Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I came across a web site by Dr. Lam, who is board certified in anti-aging medicine by the American Board of Anti-Aging Medicine. His web site has no advertisements and he answers questions for free (http://www.lammd.com/intro.cfm). There is a web page called " Calories That Count " where he discusses the target weight (below). Dr. Lam's formulas for ideal CR weight correspond in my case to a BMI between 21 and 22.

There is no hard and fast rule on what this should be at this time. From many studies, where calorie restrictions of 30 to 40 percent were carried out in laboratory animals, longevity commonly increased by up to 100 percent. Most researchers, in the anti-aging field, find a 5 to 10 percent reduction, from the ideal body weight, a prudent and conservative approach to longevity. How To Calculate Your Ideal Body Weight and Target Anti-Aging Weight If you are a female, your ideal body weight is equal to 100 pounds plus 5 pounds for each inch over five feet. If you are five feet five inches tall, for example, your ideal body weight is 125 lbs. Add a couple of pounds if you have a large frame (if your thumb and middle finger encircled around the opposite wrist do not touch) and subtract a couple of pounds if you have a small frame (the thumb and middle finger overlap your opposite wrist). To calculate your target anti-aging weight, subtract 5 to 10 percent from this ideal weight. Continuing with the above example, your target anti-aging weight is 104 to 110 pounds. If you are a male, your ideal body weight is equal to 106 pounds plus 6 pounds for each inch you are over five feet. If you are five feet 10 inches tall, for example, your ideal body weight is 166 lbs. Add three to five pounds if you are large frame and subtract a couple of pounds if you have a small frame. To calculate your target anti-aging weight, subtract 5 to 10 percent from the ideal weight. Continuing with the above example, your target anti-aging weight is 157 to 149 pounds. === http://www.drlam.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
