** Thank you.

[[Aside from reading Walford, have you read all our files?]]

** Not all of them .. yet. I have been surfing the archives and

breezing the files.

Francesca again [[We have a specific file on just exercise and its¹

relationship to CRON.]]

** Great. Ill look for it specifically.

[[How tall are you? I assume you are female (if not I apologize) ?

It would be hard to judge if you¹re overweight without knowing your

height.]]

** I am 5'6 " , female, and do not consider myself overweight, but

would feel more comfortable at 120lbs.

Francesca wrote [[in any case, do not go below 1000 cal a day! That

would be dangerous and is specifically mentioned in Dr. W¹s book.]]

** I appreciate the advice, but can assure you, with my physical

activity level, dropping to 1000c a day would be tough (book advice

or not).

[[it sounds like you¹re doing everything right (unless you¹re

miscalculating your actual caloric intake somehow).]]

** The fitday.com site is a good tool, but general. I dont use it

for anything other than a way to track my food and activity, and as a

general caloric guide.

[[Remember It¹s not about weight at all! It¹s about calories eaten

and eating the ON foods. In fact the obese/obese mice that Walford

mentions are the ones who lived the longest. These are the mice who

retained the higher weights.]]

** Right .. that message is coming across loud and clear. In

fact 'high-density' foods, 'super-nutrient' foods, and the like, is

what led my research to CR and then ON. ly, CR alone didnt

appeal to me .. upping my nutional value does. Well, that and

assuring that my body is healthy enough - particularly the lower

intestine - to absorb all those vital nutrients.

Otherwise .. I have enjoyed reading the archives so far. There is a

wide array of valuable information and informative feedback from

different perspectives. Certainly lots to consider!

Om Peace!
