Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Yes that would fit the definition of CR. However don't be surprised if you're hungrier along with the extra exercise. Walford's books are available in most public libraries. No need to shell out for them. However most of us have bought a copy just to have on hand for reference purposes. Try half.com and other used books sites for cheapo prices. on 6/12/2003 6:04 PM, paultheo2000 at paultheo2000@... wrote: > Okay, but if you eat 500 calories above what you should be eating to > maintain your BW at a healthy level (ad libitum) and you reduce this > to 250 calories still above what you should be eating, are you realy > calorie ~restricted~? > > In effect my question is: instead of cutting calories, would > maintaining the same amount of calories but increasing caloric > expenditure yield the results as simply reducing calories?

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 CR is eating less calories than you would ad lib. It does not seem to mean that you necessarily have to be hungry although there has been some debate about this. We really don't have all these answers yet. The book you mention is one of the older ones. Look for " Beyond the 120 Year Diet " in the public library. Our files are also very useful. Read them to get a good feel for CRON. on 6/12/2003 6:57 PM, paultheo2000 at paultheo2000@... wrote: > Does this mean the CR is defined as being in a state of hunger? > > I looked for Walford at the local university and found this book: > > " The retardation of aging and disease by dietary restriction " from > 1988.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 May I add a possible refinement on the definition of the ad lib aspect cr for life extension? Ad lib for cr purposes should be the amount you would normally eat assuming you are exercising with frequencies and intensities necessary to maintain your (specific) body in useful strength and cardiovascular fitness for good health. Ed S PS. I was also almost always hungry in ad lib. I can be quite hungry often through the day and not lose an ounce. ----- Original Message ----- From: " Francesca Skelton " <fskelton@...> < > Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 4:06 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Re: CR and Cardio > CR is eating less calories than you would ad lib.
