Hormesis and Eating Less for Longer Life

From Life Style: -

"Reduce your calorie intake by eating according to your nutritional type, which is based on your unique biochemistry. This should reduce your food cravings. By giving your body the right amount of energy it needs, you will experience less hunger.

" Know the types of food and amount of nutrients required by your body. Then create the appropriate mix of proteins, carbohydrates, and fat. This approach to energy restriction puts more emphasis to the proportion of essential nutrients in the diet rather than the amount of calories. Having a well-proportioned mix of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates is the key to energy restriction. This explains why vegetable juicing is so effective in energy restriction. Vegetable juice is low in calorie, high in essential nutrients, and has no insulin-elevating ingredients."
