Dr. Oz seemed to have revealed the secret for longevity and that is by adhering to a Calorie Restricion Diet. What is a Calorie Restriction Diet?

According to Joe Cordell it’s a type of diet that is made up of less calories but is very high in nutrition vales. He says, “Whenever you’re thinking about calorie restriction, you should continually think about getting the most nutritional bang per calorie,”

They claim that by following this diet, people could live up to 150 years! Hmmm.. does that sound believable to you?

Anyways, Scott Q Marcus has written that if people would adhere to this type of diet then a typical menu for this Calorie Restriction diet would look like this.

Breakfast: 1 cup nonfat cottage cheese, 23 nuts, 1 cup berries and one nutrition bar

Lunch: 5 ounces skinless chicken breast (boiled, baked or roasted), broccoli, cauliflower, 1 tablespoon olive oil and one medium orange

Meal preparation: Cook chicken. Add to plate with broccoli and cauliflower. Add olive oil and herbs and spices. Have orange for dessert.

Snack: 1 cup nonfat yogurt, six nuts (Whoa! Don’t eat them all in one bite!)

Dinner: 2 cups green, leafy salad (may include lettuce, cabbage, spinach), 3-ounce salmon filet (canned low-salt or fresh-baked), 7-ounce sweet potato (baked), 1 tablespoon olive oil, herbs and spices and 1 tablespoon vinegar

Meal preparation: Sprinkle vinegar, herbs, spices and half of olive oil over salad and salmon. Sprinkle remaining olive oil over sweet potato; have potato for dessert.

How would you like to have a menu like that? It kinda looks bland though.. and I’m sure this won’t work for me.:)
