Longevity Diet On Steroids

I am beginning day three of my experiment of eating nothing but Isagenix food. I have released 3 pounds, but more importantly I feel amazing. Because of the ingredients of the food that I'm consuming I have no cravings for the "food" that I am used to eating. As a matter of fact I don't know if I could actually go back to eating that kind of food again.

I mentioned that I'm reading the Longevity Diet and in the book they mentioned a 20 year study on humans who have taken this CR (calorie restriction) very seriously. The subjects in the study restricted their diet to certain foods that don't include chemicals and food that is processed. Over that time some of the results have been quite impressive. Not only were they healthier, but their metabolic age was way below their actual age.

So what am I trying to say? I'm making a case for the practice of CR for the rest of my life and if I play my cards right I will have a long healthy life. The experiment I'm conducting on myself is a bit extreme, but then again, is it? I am consuming about 1,500 calories, but every one of those calories count. Most Americans consume on average 4,500 calories a day and most of those are empty calories. Remember that the food supply today is bankrupt of nutrition and is polluted.

100% Isagenix food is preparing me for continuing on this path of calorie restriction. In the book the authors provide many different recipes and the foods that will help maintain a healthy well balanced diet. On top of restricting my CR I am taking the most powerful antioxidants that you could take. Every day I take therapeutic doses of CoQ10, Resveritrol, D3, Omega-3 and I take it in the morning and at night in convenient packages so I provide my body 24 hours of coverage against free radicals. That product is called Ageless Essentials and they have a formula for men and women. In addition to that I am now taking Product B. Product B is a combination of powerful antioxidants and telomere support.

I know this sounds extreme, but is it really? I'm taking responsibility for my health and at the same time reducing my cost of food and will reduce the cost of my health care in the future. To me that makes sense, but to others it might seem crazy or extreme. I guess we will see how crazy I am over the next several years when the people around me don't change their diet. Do you want to take that chance?
