Most diet programs allow you to lose weight by restricting caloric
intake. The methods of restriction may include low fat diets, high
intake of fruits and vegetables or low carb diets. If you are
successful in losing weight and keeping it off with any of these
programs you are destined to age at a fast rate.
Why?
Aging is the imbalance between wear and tear of the body and the rate
of tissue repair. While wear and tear to some extent is out of our
control the rate of tissue repair is not. The greater the repair rate
of the body, the slower the rate of aging, vice versa, the slower the
repair rate of the body the faster the rate of aging. Excess caloric
intake is essential for a rapid repair rate of the body,but if your
diet is set only to meet your basic metabolic needs it means that your
rate of repair will be slow due to inadequacy of caloric intake.
Therefore most diets will cause you to age faster.
To age slowly, you must have a non-restrictive diet but most
non-restrictive diets will shunt excess calories into fat, so while you
may age more slowly you will be getting fatter.
The Sabbatical Diet is a non-restrictive diet which selectively shifts
the excess caloric intake into protein metabolism and tissue repair and
is the only diet that slows the aging process while preventing obesity
at the same time.
