I think that I would be willing to try it. I mean its basicall y a version of the raw food diet. Juicing has always been knows to do well for the body etc. So yes I would. It would be hard but I always break the rules every once in awhile LOL

I think I would try it for awhile. Then once I am down to my goal weight, I would bring back food, but work extra hard at exercising. So I maintain a healtyh wieght.

I am currently on the calorie restriction program but i wouldn't call it a diet. Its more of a life style change. You have to read labels and measure things out and it changes the way you shop and look at the foods you put in your body. You tend to have more energy so you do more and your whole lifestyle shanges. Its hard at first giving up eating a papa johns pizza but you get use to it. I eat abetwen 1000 and 1250 a day but i never feel hungry. I eat high fiber, low sugar carb meals which tend to be more filling so i never feel like i am starving my self. I agree with dr. oz that it is like the fountian of youth becasue i can not remeber the last cold i had or a day when i didnt feel well. I know i am young to be doing this kind of thing but it works for me and i have energy to get down and play with my baby which i didnt really have before

Ok, maybe I am missing something here. Isn't that what every diet is? You lower your calorie intake and raise your activity level. It is the only "diet" I have ever really tried. I lost 70 pounds by controlling what I ate (which included cookies :) BTW). I guess now it has a name. :)

Makes sense to me.  Less calories....less weight....increased activity....all leads to a healthier lifestyle which should improve one's longevity.

You know what they say, eat to live don't live to eat. 

Personally, I wouldn't want to do the calorie restriction diet, but I do try to keep in mind that moderation is always the best idea.
