Re: New file w/ formula for computing ideal weight

[Guest guest]

This newly posted file prompts me to post. As a male, I will limit my comments

to the applicable portion.

Basically, I disagree.

As it happens, my height is 5'10 " , exactly the size of the example given in the

formula. My weight has never, even at my heaviest, reached the " ideal " described

by the formula. (106 + (10 x 6) = 166).

When I decided to begin CR, my weight was 157. After a year or so of following a

CR regimen, my weight got as low as 129. It has now stabilized at 135, a weight

I maintain within a pound or so each way.

The concept of the " ideal " CR " target " weight is one that Roy Walford discusses

in his work, and one that has had much attention among CR practitioners. The

common conception is that there is for each person (male or female) a natural

weight -- being what a person weighs when they reach their mature physical size

-- perhaps at age 20 or so.

From that weight, the CR goal is 10-15% reduction.

The CRON paradigm, as I understand it, is to maintain this reduced size by

limiting calorie intake while assuring that those calories include optimal

nutrition.

At least, that is how I live my CR life.

Comments from others would be appreciated.
