4 out of 5 stars Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition   November 22, 2008
  14 out of 16 found this review helpful

One of my favorite books dealing with healthy lifestyle is Can We Live 150. The author of the book simply states that we should EAT TO LIVE instead of living to eat. It is a great concept and many of us should be giving some attention to that. Most of the contents of this book, "CR Way", actually evolves around this idea.

As the author of the book "Can We Live 150" says, "full health does not depend on miraculous medication and formulas that cause weight loss or aging reversal, but on the lifestyle that is in harmony with nature." The authors of "CR Way" conclude that "by restricting calories while eating nutrient-dense foods, CR practitioners seek to activate the body's innate longevity system. (...) It is all about building a positive, vital engine that will make your life better, happier, more productive, and longer."

The acronym CR stands for Calorie Restriction. And that is what the book is all about. There is a theory that calorie restriction can greatly benefit one's longevity. One of the best known authors dealing with this issue is Dr. Roy Walford who wrote a number of books on the subject. In "CR Way" the authors present and explain the newest relevant scientific research and show how to put it into practice.

I recommend this book both for people wanting to live better, healthier and longer life, and for people who are concerned about such fatalities as cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. According to the authors, living the CR way greatly diminish the chance of getting any of these diseases. Whether that is true or not, a sound approach to CRON (Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition) will increase one's appreciation of food, and generally lead to a better quality of life.

The authors introduce in the book an exceptional glucose-control system. This system is supported by interesting, low-glycemic food recipes and moderate exercise suggestions designed to keeping your glucose levels low.

The key points of the CR Way lifestyle are:

-cooking food less
-eating moderate amounts of protein
-finishing any food intake by early afternoon

I also found very useful the Appendices with some answers to most common questions. Appendix 3 is actually devoted to Frequently Asked Questions.

Other books that I recommend:

Nutritional Healing
Can We Live 150
as well as other books by Tombak, Fuhrman, Hyman, McDougall,

and also my latest discovery:
Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life...



3 out of 5 stars Good book, but mixed messages.   October 16, 2008
  1 out of 4 found this review helpful

I think overall that the value added from living the CR way is solid. That said, I think the authors did a disservice to their readers to lay out elaborate efforts to activate the SIRT1 gene only to take it back with the warning that our vitamins which usually contain nicotinamide effectively block the expression of the gene. See page 7 of the book. Google nicotinamide and find out that it and nictonic acid make up niacin, Vitamin B3 an essential vitamin we can't do without. So what are we left with? No practical advice on managing our vitamins which we need with the knowledge that one of them deactivates a crucial gene we need to assure our longevity. Lower your glucose so you can activate SIRT1 only to have your one a day block it. Deducting 2 stars from what is otherwise a wonderful book.

This has been an eye opener as far as calorie restriction and good health. I truly value this book and the wonderful recipes they have.


4 out of 5 stars Good in theory   September 17, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

As a physician, I try to keep abreast of the latest regarding nutrition. It is hard to argue with the evidence presented in this book, and the authors make a great arguement for calorie restriction. It is well written and easy to understand. The only problem I encountered was the application. The authors live in a different world than the rest of us when it comes to how they eat, not necessarily what they eat. Thus I found about half the book unapplicable to my lifestyle.


4 out of 5 stars Very Original "Diet" Book   June 19, 2008

The CR Way: Using the Secrets of Calorie Restriction for a Longer, Healthier Life

Very insightful read. Biology and nutrition are my favorite topics to read about. This really delivers an interesting perspective that you won't find in other books. An original approach that will open your eyes and let you appreciate the information that these well-informed authors have gathered and provided.
