CRONIES: phone home

Newbies, please post and introduce yourselves.

Tell us your situation, why

you're interested in CRON, and where you are in

any type of CRON program

(even if you haven't started yet). Questions

are welcomed.

[Dennis] This is a

no-brainer. I'm 58 and would like to see 98.

We welcome you all to the group and hope you're

not reticent for any reason

to post. We were in your place not so

long ago. So please de-lurk. In

answering your queries, we all learn more.

Dennis: thanks for phoning in. Have you started CRON et? Since the only

thing we know about you is your age, let me warn you: starting im middle

age or later in life may not reap you the longevity benefits you're seeking.

Having said that, and BTW, I'm no spring chicken myself, you will become

healthier , have less illness, improve your BP, blood lipids etc. So even

if you don't live that much longer, you'll have a higher quality of life. In

fact, that's all I expect and hope to gain for myself.

Care to give us any more info? Are you normal weight? How tall are you?

How far along (if along at all) in starting CRON?

[Dennis] It's not

like I'm pulling out of the Mc's parking lot to start

CR. I'm in perfect health and want to improve on that.

normal weight?

[Dennis] Yep.

How tall are you?

[Dennis] 6 feet.

How far along (if along at all) in starting CRON?

[Dennis] Just easing

into it.

To Dennis and others contemplating CRON after a lifetime of ad lib eating.

There will always be a benefit from optimal or adequate nutrition combined with a moderate reduction in calories. This will help you get the most years of life "you" can get, and get the most out of them.

At 53 years old I have no desire to be the skinniest CRONie, nor do I have illusions of living to 120. However I'm not in a hurry to join the many from my generation already in the ground from simply eating too much and the wrong stuff.

First get the nutrition right, then deal with the calories. Moderation, moderation, moderation.

Welcome aboard.

JR

Hi all! My name is Laurie, I'm 40 years old. I have a background in

nutrition, exercise science/health and fitness. Obesity is prevelant in our

(U.S.) society and the underlying cause for so many illnesses and problems.

I have always been a proponent of living as healthfully as possible.

[Guest guest]

I've used both the Dietpower software and DWIDP extensively. I recommend

Dietpower's. It does everything Walford's software does plus has some nice

additional features. It's also a few bucks cheaper.

I'm curious about the various computer diet programs to

help one achieve optimal nutrition. I looked at Dietpower

and Dr. Walford's program. Does any one have a preference

for one over the other?

Sorry to reply so late, but thank you for the recommendation of

Dietpower. I've been using it the past few days and it's great.
