thanks for info on risk factors; some other questions

[Guest guest]

Thanks suzanne, francesca and mary for response on heart risk factors.

I had read Beyond 120, and the work before that, but am just getting

into CRON and was wondering whether there were people out there

experiencing the benefits described in the book - it seems like from

the BP and cholesterol biomarkers discussed in your messages, that it

seems to be working. I'll have to assess my own results in a few

months, as my cholesterol is at 245 (I'm not sure about the HDL.)

I just turned 48 and its seems like the research indicates that there

is some benefit in getting into CRON at any age, so I'm going to give

it a try. I think I would be more partial to a more Paleo Diet,

rather than one that emphasizes more highGI carbs, as Walford

describes - what has anyone's experience been with that? Does it

matter that much where the nutrition comes from, as long as the food

is high quality and varied? Thanks again for advising a newcomer.

If I gain some personal knowledge through this experience, I will

certainly share it with the group. Thanks.

Walford writes on page 104 : " At the present time, for the

macronutrients I prefer the middle ground of a moderately low-fat

diet, but with the emphasis on MUFAs and omega-3s, moderate protein

intake, and the rest mostly low-GI carbohydrates. ( The diet of the

Paleolithic man derived 20 percent of its calories from fat.) "

I believe this was answered by the same paragraph.
