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.

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.

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.

Years ago when I homeschooled my kids, I used a curriculum guide with highly unattainable goals. If you followed it precisely, you would need 36-hour days. But, it was great as a resource from which I would pick and choose ideas. I'm using 'The CR Way' much the same way. Other reviewers may see this book as too ambitious, but as experience has taught me, good habits tend to multiply over time. What might appear over-the-top to me today, just might seem logical and doable in the future. As they say: "Never say never."
Still, at the moment, some of the advice in 'The CR Way' isn't practical or desirable for me. Feeling alive and in vibrant health is a core goal of mine. My version of CRON needs to be consistent with that. So I won't be eating a 'tease meal' before breakfast, as these authors suggest. Nor will I be eating most of my calories in the morning and poking myself with a glucometer several times.
These practices would make me feel like a sick person. I just won't go there. At least, not until I need to. And truthfully, one of the reasons I'm attracted to CRON in the first place is a desire to stay away from glucometers, pills, doctors and needles.
I used to be a 'junk food' vegan--lots of pasta, baked goodies, bread, etc. This book, and others in the same vein such as Fuhrman, Hyman, McDougall, etc, are helping me reform my grainiac ways. I love the idea of eating nutrient-dense foods, and can't wait to try out some of the vegetarian recipes in the 'CR Way.' Most, but not all, are plant-based recipes, which pleases me enormously, but the real kicker is this: Many appear easy and time-efficient, a nice departure from the labor-intensive recipes I've been making lately.
These authors have given us the gift of laying out in great detail their CRON lifestyle. I think of it as a case-study based on good science, but is up to interested readers to pull out what seems practical to do in their own lives. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in living well and retaining health through their golden years. The longevity angle: nice, but no guarantee.

I am in process of finishing this book and have found it to be extremely motivating for me to follow a CR lifestyle. So, I would say that if you're interested in improving your health, you should read this book.
