@MrMaryJanes Not a joke. The only proven way to extend lifespan. I've been on it since I was 18 (now almost 27) and I also do Kung Fu. No problems at all! It keeps me very young! see my blog "matts cr" :-)
@MrMaryJanes You're not understanding anorexia well enough. He eats a very nutritious diet, is part of a study on aging. His bmi is above the normal range. Anorexia is completely different. Anorexia results in pathology and possible death. CR results in greatly extending mean and maximum lifespan.
@matthewlake182 Any way you put it, 1900 calories a day (calorie restriction) to live longer is a joke. You need to eat more to live more as DurianRider says =). This guy may live longer, but he isnt living life as intended. He is getting the absolute minimum amount of food possible and living at very low levels of energy. I prefer to eat 4000 calories from raw foods and be active all day rather than 1900 calories and have little to no energy just so i MIGHT live a little longer in the long run.
@MrMaryJanes calorie restriction increases mitochondrial biogenesis. (more energy). Do you know that experiments on animals show that fewer calories actualyl results in more energy and activity? No probably not. You have to do the research! I eat 1750 k/cal a day! check out my blog ;)
@MrMaryJanes results from Raw foodists vs CRers show that CR results in better health markers (studies from Dr fontana who studied both groups at WUSTL). So there you go.
@MrMaryJanes read on Okinawa longevity. They were naturally CR'd and had the longest life expectancy in the world. Also the highest number of centenarians in the world. They ate fewer calories and high nutrition.
@matthewlake182 Again, i can promise you this guy would keel over after attempting to keep up with anyone fit and eating a high carb low fat diet 3500+ calories a day. The possibility of living longer is a joke if you cant even be active more than an hour a day at most.
@MrMaryJanes You're probably right that someone eating 3500k/cal a day and is fit would do better. But is life about running and cycling hundreds of miles? For some maybe, for others no. CR is found to be more effective than exercise (see my blog for studies). I do kung fu twice a week. Shaolin kung fu. I slightly incrase calorie intake during those days.
J Cordell's slogan should be "Warning A Partner Men Should Avoid." Their promise to protect mens rights is a lie. They are predators and should be avoided. They screweded my brains out. I was told that my case should be open and closed and would cost no more than $2500 if we could avoid a trial. That's not what happened. They drug the case out for 9 months and billed me for erroneous labor at highly inflated rates. In the end it cost $15000 and I got a very lopsided settlement (in my ex's favor)
there are starving people in this world who would KILL for a nibble of this jerks apple and he has the audacity to throw away the apple and only eat the peel!!!! what?!??!? i eat what is considered a very radical diet - i'm a low fat raw vegan. 80-90 % of my calories come from raw fruit (sweet/non-sweet) so i agree that what he is eating is super nutrient dense and while that is well and great and all you NEED carbs to fuel your body...so you can think, exercise, FUNCTION.
sounds like another Durianrider 811 minion. You actually called him a jerk because he doesn't worship fruit like you do and "has the audacity to throw away (an) apple"?
He is healthy with what he is doing, and looks much younger than his age suggests. instead of hating because his practices doesn't fall in line with your perception of what health is, maybe you open your mind, look objectively, and learn a thing or two from him.

CR is an attractive lifestyle for a certain "geeky" kind of people, who love to think they can, through a diet manipulation, control their health almost completely. It also possesses an intuitive quality (less wear-and-tear from free radicals, longer life). However, when carefully examined , CR reveals itself as a bit of pseudo-science with sectarian overtones. Check out the link below for explanation why.
decided to go back to CR.after practicing it for 3 months I learned alot about my body .And found myself with more energy after long workdays.Im gonna get between 1700 calories and 1900 a day compared to 3000 estimate of what i used to eat before.But eating 3000 calories i had stage 1 high blood preassure and resting heart beat of 62 and lots of fatigue.When i did calorie restriction my resting heart beat was 55 and i had normal preasure.before CR i weighed 160 and 5'10 during cr i was 140
About 1900cal+ is ok, I was on a 1250 cal diet back when I was 23 for 6 months, and I was constantly tired, always falling asleep. Now I eat about 2500cal+ some crap food, some healthy food and I do feel alot better, but I know my HR and BP are a little too high and I still get tired alot, maybe I should meet somewhere in the middle.
@adamc404 its not about whats natural for humans to eat, or what we would have eaten before the agricultural revolution, its a biological phenomina which works in all species, nutrient rich, calorie poor
It's so weird to read about this stuff because I'm 21, 6'1 and weight 125lbs. I couldn't gain weight if I tried. I'm not on a restrictive diet and this guy is shorter than me and weighs more.
Also 5'9", 130 isn't all that outrageous: Only 15 lbs less than old-school insurance tables list for medium-frame males. Perhaps Joe isn't quite as restrictive as some others. I've seen 6' CRers who don't weigh much more than he does.
This man seems to have found a more reasonable way of practicing CR than most others I've seen. Many CRers look older than they actually are , in spite of whatever great numbers their blood tests are showing. What's the difference beween the 'good' CRers & the 'bad' ones'?
well almost every CRer started from age 50... you understand? Aging started decades ago. You'll mostly likely see young looking CRers when the young people like me who started from age 18 reach their 30's, 40, 50 's and so on.... there is also the fact that being skinny can just make u look ill. So its difficult. Look bad but have longer life? or find a balance... its ur choice really. Im 25 2 weeks and people mistake me for being 17 all the time, so it must work for some of us :P
Thanks. I'd think that most folks would need to get s c a r e d into living cleaner, which usually wouldn't occur until late-middle age. 18 yr-olds dont usually pay any immediately noticeable 'price' for eating crap, so I don't imagine a huge sample of such subjects in the future. (I hope I'm wrong.) What got you into CR? Does being skinny make -you- look sick?
well some people think so, i mean my BMI is freakishly low at 17.5 right now.... but almost EVERYONE say i look so young. You can check out my blog if you want. google 'matts cr'.
I think I would look better with more weight... but in time, maybe i will naturally gain a bit of weight back through slower metabolism. I hope so!.
At 24, you look like your own, healthier, 19 year old twin brother. 1/Do you have any athletic interests that you can use to compare your pre&post-CR performance? 2/You don't appear to have been sickly or obese before, so what inspired you to change your lifestyle so drasticly? 3/Most importantly, do you FEEL young?
I saw this guy on abc news last night. Could someone give me the correct name for his twitter page. I tried to look him up and I couldn't find his name. He looks for fabulous to be 51.
Doesn't he though? I would have guessed late 30's. The reason I say that is that most 51 year olds already have th gut, jowls and thickness which typifies someone older. But this guy is totally the opposite. I'm 42 and have been eating less for several years now. Trying to avoid meat, though occasionally I'll eat some, avoiding refined sugar, despite how hard that is, and I've been able to lose the overall body fat and gut that I carried for years....
Skinny people aren't on CR. CR is about reduced calories and nothing to do with weight. The article I just read stated
"Main reasons for the shorter lifespans of skinny people were believed to include their heightened vulnerability to diseases such as pneumonia and the fragility of their blood vessels, he said."
People on CR have blood vessels and heart function that seem decades younger than their age. And also rarely get sick...
Okinawans also were thin and the centenarians remained slim all their life. They ate a good diet, similar to CR but not as good. You should check out my blog. Google Matts calorie restriction
Also don't foget, there have been plenty of other studies to show being very skinny is associated with less morbidty and decreased mortality, or no effect at all ;)
Starved and unhealthy people looks really bad but people who are on CR is more about eating MORE nutritious food for less calories.
Japan has the world's largest population of octogenarians but not because they're chubby but because they eat a lot of fish (omega 3s) and they eat a very lean diet as compared to the regular American diet. Japanese also believe in the principle of stop eating when you feel semi-full.
But I think they only look that way to you because of how things have changed in the past 30 years or so. People never used to be so big as they are today. And now we are just used to it. And when we see someone that is 30 pounds overweight, a lot of people think that person looks "normal."
1950 calories a day aren't all that low for a 130 pound person. I think his excellent food choices and activity level play into his health just as much.
There is no doubt that healthy food choices improve health. But it does not influence maximum lifespan, only reducing calories can extend maximum lifespan shift the survival curve. 1950 k/cal is fairly low compared to what the average person consumes in america. And Joe did lose quite a bit of weight. Also realize that most people under estimate their calorie intake (proven in studies).
Well that depends on your long term goals. My goal is to live long enough to live even longer. Yes there is an improvement in Quality of life, but this won't by itself help me achieve radical life extension through rejunvenation therapies that might come about later this century.
Honestly I don't think that living longer is really the great benefit of calorie restriction. I belive the true benefit from it is better quality of life while you are alive.
