The Effects of Calorie Restriction on Health and Ageing

In my personal experience the only way to make sustainable changes to your eating habits is to make gradual changes to your eating habits. This will be a major theme of my CR practical guide. My advice is to take a couple months to evaluate where you are before making any changes, then proceed to ratchet down slowly.

Sounds easy enough but that's not always the case ;)

CR is anything but easy, it's considered one of the most challenging diets there is. That being said, there are varying levels of intensity amongst CR practitioners. Eating 90-95% of ad libitum (As much as you want) isn't that challenging. I'm down to 64% ad libitum, and it's pretty tough. I know people who do less than 60%, they look anorexic.
