On the existential reasons ...Hi Chris<BR/><BR/>Some comments. On the existential reasons to do CRON, well I would welcom whatever motivation helps you to achieve it. You will find some long term CRONies that don't do it for longevity necessarily - but for increased vitality, health, etc. For me being able to do yoga is a motivator. I notice that on good CR days, I can run to catch the bus without effort. On your good CR days I bet biking around Chicago is a breeze.<BR/><BR/>For more practical advice - if you crave macaroni and cheese, you could fool your body and give it a lower calorie, CRON-friendlier version. I was reading online a critique on the book "the uncheese cookbook", which Erin referred to in his blog, and there is a vegan version of macaroni and cheese in it. The cheese is made from nuts. I don't remember if the pasta is regular pasta. But you could see if glucamman pastas, which Erin also recommends, come in macaroni shapes. My recollection is that they do. So, if you prepare that pasta, which is very low caloric, and do the substitute for cheese, you could satisfy a craving and really not deviate from a CRONie way of eating.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps, and nice to read your blog.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/>ArturoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
