Jeff,

Is this legit ? Very intriguing to say the least... and interestingly... I feel much better in my quest for recovery when MET levels are very low......

Thanks Jeff.

It would be interesting to test IGF-1 levels within the bounds of the vegan diet - as some foods definately have more protein than others.

Calorie restriction does not make a lot of sense to me.... but avoiding overeating and proper menu selection does !

It's been done by both the CR group and the Ornish group and found the isolated proteins and concentrated proteins raised IGF, even in a non vegan CR group.

However, a vegan group, following a healthy diet without isolated or concentrated proteins, had very low IGF-1 levels

CR makes sense is more ways then one but it takes some time to study it and understand it. And, when you do, you will see why the 3000 calorie/day approach to raw food veganism, is missing the boat.

Thanks Jeff.

You kinda left me hanging there... ;~)

What are the other factors associated with CR that make it beneficial?

I'm scrapping calorie counting for now - when hungry I will eat - am learning to trust that.
