The seminal book for a lay audience interested in Calorie Restriction is: Anyone interested in pursuing a calorie-restricted diet for the purpose of extending lifespan, or wanting to gain a basic understanding of the scientific evidence supporting CR, should be familiar with the information in this book. Dr. Walford endorses a high-carbohydrate, low-fat, low-protein diet.

What Is CR?

VirtuRad - Filmless Radiology for the 21st Century
Computed Radiography (CR) is a process for capturing digital radiographic images. For exposure, a storage phosphor plate is placed in a cassette instead of a piece of film. The phosphor plate captures and "stores" the x-rays. The image is "developed" in a CR reader instead of a film processor. The CR reader extracts the information stored in the plate and produces a digital image.

Should I include fasting as part of my CR regimen?

Frequently Asked Questions | CRS
The bottom line for practicing CR is eating fewer Calories. If fasting helps you to reduce your caloric intake, you will probably experience most of the benefits of CR. Studies have shown that rodents fed all they can eat, but fasted every two, three or four days, also have an increase in longevity, though the increase is not quite as great as that of rodents on the standard kind of CR (when implemented in mature organisms).

What distinguishes CR from a weight loss diet?

Frequently Asked Questions | CRS
Weight loss diets are aimed at shedding excess pounds, either for aesthetic reasons, or to avoid the toxic health impacts of obesity. These diets only make sense for people who are overweight. By contrast, the goal of CR is slower aging and extended lifespan. Weight loss is a side effect. In fact, CR's anti-aging effects manifest themselves even in organisms with a 'healthy' weight. Weight change is, nevertheless, an easy and convenient way of gauging one's overall Calorie intake.

If I'm just starting CR, why shouldn't I lose weight as fast as I can?

Frequently Asked Questions | CRS
In early experiments, CR failed to extend the lifespan of adult animals, and sometimes even shortened it. It was Dr. Walford's insight that the reason for this lack of benefit might be that adult animals were less able to adapt to this sudden change.

Are there any other ways of retarding biological aging or extending lifespan besides CR?

Frequently Asked Questions | CRS
None known to science at this time. Many interventions, such as human growth hormone and other hormone "replacement" therapies, as well as nutritional supplements and a variety of drugs, are claimed by some people to be "anti-aging" therapies.

Can I take the internship for a grade rather than CR/NC?

Frequently Asked Questions
No, the internship is offered as CR/NC only. Most of the work is completed in the field placement under the direction of the field supervisor. Because you are not working in a traditional classroom, traditional methods of grading your work (graded work) are not necessarily appropriate or even possible. Your written project must be of a C or higher quality, however. For these reasons, your internship credits are graded overall as CR/NC.

How can any of you claim to have started CR?

The CR FAQ - An Introduction to Celtic Reconstructionist Pag...
CR began because many people felt a need for it. At various stages, there have been key people who have set an idea in motion or otherwise sparked inspiration. It could be said that without these particular thinkers, scholars, ritualists and liturgists, CR would not have happened. But it is just as true that without all the people who eventually latched on to the idea and brought their own work to the table, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
