More Questions

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the answers to my previous questions. Questions for

today: 1) Does anyone count protein grams? If so, what methods

do you use to calculate needs? Also, what foods do you use as

protein sources? 2) What are the blood markers mentioned by

Francesca as showing the benefits of CR? My body temp is, and

has been for a long time, consistently 96.4 in the early morning. But

I would like to know what the targets are for bloodwork results.

3) Has anyone else read that the Atkins Diet causes bone loss?

I think I've been CRing for 47 years, actually. We used to call it

dieting, and it remains one of the more popular hobbies among

American adolescent girls. Not having outgrown it, I am like the EOD

mice (rats?) because my dieting has always been interspersed with

bingeing. So, I am not particularly thin (although I'd love to be!),

averaging about 124 lbs. at 5'4" in height with some lean mass

acquired through resistance training. I got interested in the ON part

of the equation in my late twenties (that was thirty years ago), and have

had an intense interest in that since, fortunately for my EOD body. With a

very strong family history for osteoporosis, I was diagnosed with

osteopenia in 1998. Since then, I have overcome it by following the

recommendations of Dr. Lee, and even more focus on weight bearing

exercise. My goals at this point (besides health extension) would be to

finally (SOMEtime before I leave this body!!) overcome bingeing totally,

and have a consistent body weight of about 110 lbs. Part of my goal

would be to do this peacefully, leaving struggle behind.

So, I've been a lurker for months, but hello. I do enjoy the CRSupport

List, so thanks to you all.

Blessed Be,

Ria
