Elly, can you post more about this diet?
Like who he is and what the diet is. I think people would like reading about it

I've studied his works and other Cronies (that's what they're called, Calorie Restriction Optimal Nutrition). The Science is solid and the evidence seems to be there clear up through primates that it does work.
My take on it is that very few people have the discipline for it. Further, you'd need to get his 6000 food nutritional database to construct diets. At that low caloric intake it's very easy to become malnourshed. So every calorie must be nutrient dense.
I rather like a more moderate approach like Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live. You can eat all you want of the right foods, be at your optimal weight, say 165 for a 6' male, avoid all the syndrome x diseases, probably live pretty long, but not to the outer limits as Walford is going for, and enjoy yourself.
Put CRON in your search engine and you'll find a few support groups around. Usually their discussions are very scientific and technical, but they're usually all practitioners.
His general message to eat less is probably beneficial for all of us.

I really do believe it. Unless you are anemic or underweight, most of us eat WAY too much... and the excess remains in the body and putrifies and toxifies us leading to disease.

I have done a couple of long fasts (Master Cleanse, for cleansing, detoxing purposes). You learn a lot from fasting about what you really need! Ask a sympathetic (natural) practitioner about the diet, and about fasting. MDs generally are unwilling to consider options to surgery and pharmaceuticals, but my naturopath had cancer and her very progressive oncologist put her on the Master-Cleanse to detox all the chemicals he ran through her to deal with that. She did 30 days and never felt better. She was an RN at the time, and it inspired her to go the natural route.

I am currently on day 24 of a 30 day fast and feel wonderful! Again, this is something you want to do with professional prescription and support.

After a fast, I am pounds lighter (you lose about a pound a day), have no aches in my joints, no mucous in my head, lungs or intestines and my skin looks wonderful! Many wonderful things happen by giving the organs a rest from processing food. I think particularly Americans are brainwashed into thinking without 3 squares we will fail!

Best to you,

If you should ever read old medical books? Youn will read many people lived long past 120, some well past 250, not that many years ago! How? They ate nothing that caused your stomach to produce acid, do this and there is no aging, no acid, no stopping life.

It is habit that kills us.

FOOD? Again, search real medical books! No food ever enters the human cell, EVER! They use the mighty redwood as an example, this giant tree never has a single trace of dirt in it and no diet is removed by the tree climbing towards the sky! The sam with humans, foods do not make the man.

Foods cause the furnace to fire, we are Spirit (fire) living in a liquid body. Foods cause our own cells to waste, this killing of our cells is the energy we feel, not from foods, but from our own cells! this is why foods shorten life and the less food you can live on, the healtheir you will be.

The less food you eat, the less air you will need, the less water, etc. This is how the yoga person can take one breath every 10 minutes or so, I have seen some not take a breath for 1 hour. The sick person can't hold his breath for 2 minutes with out sever pains.

Yes, less food means less acid and longer life.

There are so many food experiments on record, seek Breatharians, there is alot of medical research on these people, but very secret and not too common today. Foods today have up to 1500 chemicals in them to addict you and make you fat, why, its all about money, not your health.

Blessings,
