Anti-Aging Diet & Calorie Restriction

Calorie Restriction is the process of limiting caloric intake with the intention of slowing down aging. Some people refer to the concept as an anti aging diet. Research into Calorie Restriction has continued for many years - concluding that the lifespan of many animals is extended when calorie intake is restricted.

The difficulty of Calorie Restriction is that sufficient nutrition (vitamins and minerals) must be maintained while lowering energy intake as much as possible.

Calorie Restricted Meal Plan
A Calorie Restricted diet must be slowly adopted. Losing more than 1 pound of weight per week is not recommended. This plan comprises 1700-1800 calories - but this should vary depending on age, weight, and exercise.
