The CR Way has changed the way people think about calorie restriction. CR used to be only about eating fewer calories than normal for your sex, height, age, and activity level. While moderate calorie intake is still important, the extraordinary health benefits come from shifting your body’s metabolism from using energy to producing energy, and slowing the rate at which your cells replicate.

And don’t worry if this sounds complicated, it’s not. LivingTheCRWay.com is full of tips on how to do it.

Supercharge Your Cells!

Your cells need energy from calories to perform vital functions, like walking and breathing. Excessive energy availability makes them lazy: Cell division gets sloppy, making dangerous mutations more likely. Disease can result.

When cells have less energy than they need (don’t overdo it!), your ancient defense system takes over. This system evolved so living things could make it through times when little food was available.

Your cells will become supercharged for survival. Rather than using only energy sources like glucose, they’ll also burn fats and proteins. In fact, your fat stores will be burned for energy. So if you need to lose weight, it will be easier.

Energy-sensitive organs like your heart and brain will adapt. Your heart function will improve. So will your memory and your ability to learn new information.
