The Anti-Aging diet is based upon many years of animal experimentation at the U.C.L.A. Medical School and in other laboratories in other major universities in the United States. The diet consists of food combinations and menus arrived at by computer techniques so that the Recommended Daily Allowances of all important nutrients are approximated with minimal caloric intake . Your set point is the weight toward which you naturally gravitate if you neither over- nor undereat. Your new weight point, if you are on the proper nutritive program, is your point of maximum metabolic efficiency, maximum health, and maximum life span. There are two methods for starting the diet.
Some people are comfortable with sudden change, others with gradual change.
The two different methods for starting the Anti-Aging Plan are geared to these two categories. Briefly, with the Rapid Orientation method, we suggest that you eat only nutrient-rich low calorie meals for the first four weeks. This may be quite a radical change in your diet depending on your life style. Limit your daily intake of calories to 1800, and make sure that all of your Recommended Daily Allowances are included. This will get you off to a good start, change your eating habits, and, unless you are quite a small person, induce substantial weight loss.
