Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Well, my name is Daugirdas, and I've been interested in CR primarily in the context of weight loss, using a modified alternate day fasting regimen (eatqod.com). The IF purists now tell me that my diet concept may not be good, because it does depend on eating about 300-400 calories one day (and 2000-2600 calories the next). So I'm sort of looking for a home. I figure the diet does qualify as CR, since it does wind up reducing caloric intake overall by about 40%. I personally have now lost most of the weight I've needed to lose, and am experimenting with staying on a QOD type of diet more long-term - not so much for longevity, but to limit my own opportunities for overeating and increase the quality of the food that I eat. I have special interests in mineral balance, especially the role of sodium and potassium, calcium, and magnesium in CR types of diets, and the possible advantages of keeping mineral intake constant during QOD type of eating. I'm also interested in a sort of CR-lite type of approach, that might be used to mainstream such diets. All the best, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
