The CRON-diet, CR-diet, Longevity diet, or Anti-Aging Plan is a nutrient-rich, low calorie diet, developed by Dr. Roy Walford and Brian M. Delaney., which practices the limiting of dietary energy intake. This, in the hope that it will improve health and retard aging.
The CRON-diet (Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition), is a diet which has been developed out of research conducted from the Biosphere 2 and data gathered from several decades of research on animals by Roy Walford. As the name implies, the diet targets life extension through the use of calorie restriction and the pursuit of fully supplying in the required daily amounts (RDA) of nutrients.
At the moment, together with diets such as the Okinawa diet and the New Longevity diet, the CRON-diet is one of the most popular diets for life-extension. This popularity may be explained because of the support given by the Calorie Restriction Society, which focuses on the CRON-diet in specific (besides giving general information on calorie restriction).
