Perfect day of eating

[Guest guest]

First of all thanks for the compliments. I and the other moderators (Rodney and Diane) work hard

to keep the site viable and valuable. The only reward we get are compliments once in a great

while like yours below. Additionally you’d be surprised to know that we also get gripes from

some occasional malcontents who think we’re here just for their personal benefit. Not surprisingly such people never give constructive suggestions or offer to help keep up the site (if anyone can help please do come forward; we can always use more help).

Thanks for putting up with that rant and letting me get it off my chest.

As for the “perfect day’s” menu, just use our “advanced search” feature. Go to our home page; put in the topic “perfect day”; click “advanced search” and you’ll see 3 or 4 previous posts (it’s also in the files under what newbies should eat) on the subject.

Dr Walford also discusses it in “BT120YD”. The pages should be in the aforementioned posts on the subject.

our ability to achieve optimum nutrition. Isolated components should

be used only as minor supplements and not as the mainstay of a diet.

In lurking and reading this list the last couple of months, I have begun to wonder the same myself. The wealth of knowledge on aging, longevity and nutrition is astounding here, almost overwhelming. I have read The 120 year book, and every last article in the files. More technical information and science that will take me a year to assimilate.

The past month, I have been counting calories for the first time in my life, though I've always eaten a whole food, plant-based and varied diet. It's hard to get a grasp of where to place the emphasis in the CRON diet: on supplements, stricter portions, or a wide variety of nutritious and enjoyable foods. Would it be presumptuous of a newbie to ask experienced Cronies here to post what they actually eat, as in a week's menu? What are some of your favorite lo-cal, nutrient packed recipes. Is this a dumb thing to ask?

Thank for putting up with me
