« My chicken soup | Main | Let's hear it for pierogies » Tuesday, November 7, 2006An extreme diet no one should follow
This is Julian Dibbell, who wrote a story last month in New York magazine about the new Calorie Restriction diet. It essentially amounts to people who are truly obsessed about their intake -- all are unappealingly skinny -- so they'll feel better and live longer. Two CR followers were on the Today show this morning. They measure what they eat and it looked like really tiny amounts. What was striking about the interview is how unhealthy this couple looked and how little fun they seemed to be having (eating breakfast and dancing in the kitchen). Both were very lean, but frankly, they seemed dreary. In the New York magazine story, Dibbell writes about a man who consumes 639 calories for dinner. His daily total is 1,913. Every single item is measured and calculated. If you had to calculate every mouthful on a computer in the kitchen before you ate, you'd feel dreary, too, I'll bet. Posted by Sheryl Julian at 01:02 PM
