Capitao Nascimento Report post Posted December 10, 2020 I'm Rodrigo, I live in Mexico weighing 75 kg and I have 1.80m I think that at 34 I can no longer reach 120 years or maybe even 100 but being realistic I can reach 95-105 if I weigh 60 kg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saul Report post Posted December 12, 2020 No. I started in my early 60's. I've been practicing CR (starting slow, increasing the level) since early 1996. AND, maintaining a strong level of aerobic exercise throughout. It's been working great for me. -- Saul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Report post Posted December 13, 2020 No, you will have started younger than most people I know who have been on CR for years. I'm personally on the more optimistic side about how well CR will work, but not everyone is around here these days. David Fisher started around 35 and is doing well: http://www.crvitality.com/2019/04/david-fisher-interview-calorie-restriction-2019/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much do I need to reach 60 kg I think 1600 calories because I'm 34 years and 11 months old and my metabolism is much slower than when I was 18 when I became an adult before I ate 600 calorie dishes for lunch and 600 calorie dinner + a can of non-alcoholic beer of about 90 calories and a breakfast of 1100 calories with 75 kg always wanted to keep the same weight to avoid obesity in old age now i am 35 years old and i am looking younger than my friends who won 5 or 10 kg. Now I want an even better result, I never understood about calories but I think the maximum for a man without CRON is 2500 and with CRON 1800 calories and I eat about 2100 calories today.

How many calories do you eat? For a 1.80 man would a 1600 CR be severe?I am sedentary. Edited December 16, 2020 by Capitao Nascimento Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone who is practicing CR here does some kind of exercise. In your case 1800 is probably better, or best 2000 and exercise, but with optimal nutrition (you must use cronometer, track all the food you eat, make all micronutrients bars are green) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mccoy Report post Posted December 18, 2020 Capitao, you should paste here also the bottom part of the cronometer diary. Calories may be all right, but I don't think most nutrients bars are green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My cholesterol is 203 and the normal is up to 190 I think that with CRON it would reach about 150-160 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoy Report post Posted December 19, 2020 Yes. but your example was not CRON. Also, there are some people who, notwithstanding a low-fat diet, will show high cholesterol, because of genetic dyslipidemia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
