The calorie-restricted diet in practice
-
In another article I talked about how you can live up to 30% longer by restricting calories. Just for the record, the calorie-restricted diet has not yet been fully scientifically proven.
-
However, results from a number of studies do not lie. In addition to its health benefits, such as better protection against typical age ailments, the â € â € ™ longer life dietâ € ™ â € ™ also has the great advantage of being ideal for weight loss. The big drawback is the strictness of the diet and the feeling of hunger that you will have to deal with.
-
The big question is of course what the â € ˜â € ™ longer life dietâ € ™ â € ™ should consist of? I am currently reading the â € Dietâ € ™ Longevity Dietâ € ™ â € ™ and will share with you my own interpretation and author's findings.

Less calories, better health
-
The essence is to simply eat less. This is to activate a mechanism in your body that protects you better against aging ailments, according to the author of the book '' The Lengevity Diet ''. The diet does not look at how many meals you eat per day, but the entire amount of calories per day.

Now I am (was) absolutely not in favor of counting calories, but this diet should certainly be well planned. What you eat must then be as healthy as possible and contain the maximum number of nutrients. Also, empty calories should be avoided as much as possible.
-
What are empty calories? Simply put, all processed nutrients that make you fat. If you are not getting all the necessary micro and macronutrients, then you are certainly not doing well! Your body needs fuel to stay healthy, so you need to plan your meals properly!

Now you can follow the diet in two ways:
-
At this stage you don't take the diet too strictly and implement the good points. This is very similar to a healthy diet. This is probably the diet that I am currently on. Components such as drinking enough water, varied meals with an eye on organic products. Less meat, a few more plant-based foods and the occasional treat.
-
This alone can greatly improve your health and significantly reduce the risk of health problems, but it does not slow down the aging process as studied in animals.

Now I am known to my friends and family as someone who can go pretty far with regard to my health. I have to say that I have maintained a somewhat milder approach in recent years, because extreme is usually not good! However, with the strict calorie-restricted diet, you have to be someone with a lot of motivation and who wants to do everything for those 7 extra years. In practice this means that you consume considerably fewer calories per day. According to the recommended amount, an adult needs 2000 to 2500 calories.

What strikes me is that the people who follow the diet are around 1600 calories. However, this has been built up over several months or even years. It is NOT wise to suddenly consume much less calories. Of course, you should always consult with a professional before starting any diet.

According to the book, you can even slow down aging at this stage and even reverse existing aging.
But what is aging anyway?
-
We see it all in our environment, perhaps you see it with your parents or grandparents. A somewhat sagging skin, wrinkles and hair loss are the characteristics for many people that there is aging. Biologically, your body becomes less effective at replacing cells. In addition, combustion takes place in your cells. When you eat a lot, there is more combustion, which also releases more free radicals. You can compare this with a car where you drive quietly or tear every day.
-
Now there are several theories about what aging exactly is. More important, of course, is what can we do about it?

According to the author, it is even possible when you are 60 to feel like 40. And when you reach 80, you are still healthy and vital without too many complaints! The latter is the decisive motivation for me to follow the diet! I want to age without too many complaints and have vibrant energy for as long as possible.
-
To return to the original question of what exactly the calorie-restricted diet is, I can be short and sweet: make sure you consume fewer calories and what you eat so healthy and fresh as possible! The CBD can delay aging more than any drug currently available. Now I consciously say â € ˜â € ™ right nowâ € ™ â € ™ because researchers are busy mimicking the effects in a drug.

But I'm not going to wait for this and start investing in my health now!
Research since the 1930s
-
Currently, there is not much research available on the effects of a calorie-restricted diet (CPD) in humans. However, researchers have been busy since the 1930s testing the effects of calorie restriction in animals.

[!Pullquote] With each cell division, the existing cells are no longer replaced as well as before. [!/ Pullquote]
-
In fact, more and more results are coming in and it initially seems that there are no known side effects, except for 30% longer life, less energy and a feeling of hunger. Even if you are currently dealing with health problems, a calorie-restricted diet can dramatically reduce your symptoms. Think of lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and much more!
Own result
-
Now I have not been on the calorie-restricted diet for very long. However, in general I have been eating small portions for over a year. So far I have achieved the following results, and expect even more good results in the near future and perhaps a little less energy, now that I am getting more serious with the CPD:
-
Expected results Blood pressure will drop a little further I will lose some weight, around 68 pounds Slightly less energy for sports More concentration Less problems with my acne rosacea The calorie-restricted diet, like epigenetics, is a very interesting development. I like to slow down aging. I particularly like the fact that you can control it yourself. Now the â € â € ™ hungerâ € ™ â € ™ suffering in the early stages will take some getting used to for many people. However, by balancing your meals well and planning well you should in principle not have to be hungry. In addition, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for me and I am serious about it. I'm not going to wait until it is 99% proven, because a good varied diet is wise anyway!
-
In the near future you can expect more articles on the blog with concrete recipes and my own experiences. Until then, I recommend starting your own research into the health benefits of a calorie-restricted diet!
