Beyond the 120 Year Diet: How to Double Your Vital Years
Product Description
According to Dr. Roy Walford, there’s no need for plastic surgery or obsessive exercising to escape the effects of time. He argues that longevity can be significantly increased by a diet that contains all the required nutrients but about a third fewer calories. In this completely revised edition of The 120 Year Diet, Dr. Walford explains – and backs up his explanation with laboratory evidence – why he believes that the anti-aging diet can preserve one’s vital, productive years and extend the human life span to well beyond its present maximum. A perfect companion to the author’s The Anti-Aging Plan, this book also includes 20 days of varied high-nutrition menus that contain fewer than 1,500 calories a day…. More >>

In case you are about to buy Walford’s book and practice Caloric Restriction as preached by him, consider today’s (Nov. 32, 2003) New York Times article by David Hochman which reveals that Walford is dying.
According to Times story, “By almost anyone’s standards, Dr. Roy L. Walford is an old man. At 79, he is confined to an electric wheelchair and his voice is so weak, he speaks into a microphone wired to a small tabletop amplifier…Dr. Walford…is..dying…”
If you really want to retard aging and extend your lifespan, why model yourself on a failed anti-aging guru? Someone who is prematurely dying?
Don’t be conned by the uncritical reviews by Walford’s little sect of true believers.
Check out The ImmorTalist Manifesto: Stay Young & Save the World” on Amazon. This is not a diet book. But it will lead you to The Elixxir Program.
Elixxir has been called “the only anti-aging guru who has actually stayed young.” (Investor’s Business Daily)
So if you’re like me, you would rather model yourself on an anti-aging guru who’s not prematurely old and dying, but one who has stayed young!
The Elixxir Program cuts out all the needless puritanism and self-deprivation and abstinence from wine, etc. in Walford’s regimen. And leaves in what is scientific and what works.
P.S. Walford’s condition is sad and tragic. But it is absolutely unethical and probably legally liable for him to not reveal this in his books. So that you can take it into consideration. So your choice is Walford or Elixxir?
In case you are tempted to buy this book and practice Caloric Restricion as preached by Roy Walford, consider today’s Nov. 23, 2003 New York Times article by David Hochman which reveals:
“By almost anyone’s standards, Dr. Roy L. Walford is an old man. At 79, he is confined to an electric wheelchair and his voice is so weak, he speaks into a microphone wired to a small tabletop amplifier. …Dr. Walford…is dying…”
Yes, caloric restriction does work. But apparently Walford’s version of it does not.
If you want to retard aging and extend your lifespan, why would you wish to model yourself after someone who is prematurely aged and dying?
Walford has a little sect and his sect members are in denial. But you don’t have to.
Do check out The ImmorTalist Manifesto: Stay Young & Save the World” on Amazon. It is the philosophy part of The Elixxir Program which has turned the only scientific anti-aging regimen into la dolce vita (the sweet life).
It will lead you to “How to Stop Aging & Start Living: The Elixxir Program” which contains Elixxir’s anti-aging eating program.
Elixxir has been described as “the only anti-aging guru who has actually stayed young.” (Investor’s Business Daily) So if you’re like me, you would rather model yourself on an anti-aging guru who has stayed young, not one who is old and dying.
Walford’s book gives the facts on why Caloric Restriction scientifically and dramatically slows down aging and extend lifespan. But it does not tell you how to do it. This is an extremely difficult diet. So how do you have the willpower to go against 99.99% of the population in how and what you eat?
I read this book. But it did not teach me how to do Caloric Restriction. How to stsy on the diet when I am at a cocktail party, or all alone in a hotel and it is past midnight.
Then I found The Elixxir Program which builds on this scientific foundation but transcends it and turns it into something doable, livable, pleasurable. I don’t have to be vegetarian on it, I can eat meat. And I can drink my two glasses of fine wine every day. Walford is basically a vegetarian, and he is very puritanical and ascetic about food. He makes you feel guilty about it. So The Elixxir Program is literally la dolce vita for me. It has slimmed me down dramatically, and make me look years younger. And I can see myself living on this for the rest of my life!
The Elixxir Program insists that the only way a diet can work is if it is part of a lifestyle and worldview. The worldview part is in The Immortalist Manifesto, also by Elixxir. Which you can find on Amazon. It is a life-changing book! Read it, and beg if you need to to get on The Elixxir Program.
I want my money back! Dr. Walford touts himself as an anti-aging guru. But I am shocked to discover an exposé by the magazine of the American Assoc. of Retired Persons (AARP). The article pointed out that this so-called anti-aging guru who claims he will live to 120 cannot even walk in his seventies. Walford is a total invalid! And I checked the old mail on the CR (caloric restriction) list and discovered many members of the list were shocked when that story came out.
Dr. Walford should have had the decency to give us a FULL DISCLOSURE of his physical condition in this and his other book, of which this is a rehash. He claims of course it has nothing to do with his interpretation of how CR should be done. But I am not at all persuaded. I have concluded he is doing CR wrong. And that we follow his prescription at our own risk.
It’s obvious many of the “rave” reviews here are from a few members of his small but very cultic mailing list. They will never tell us this important fact — that this anti-aging life-extension guru cannot even walk! That he is doing worse than most seventy-somethings who eat all the calories!
Well, I feel totally deceived. And stunned! I want my money back! This is totally unethical. It is deceptive advertising to say the least. Go to AARP website and find that article and read for yourself!
This book had a lot information that “ordinary people”, which I consider myself to be, do not need, want or even care to try to understand. Less of the indepth info and more recipes would have made this book very helpful. I copied the recipes and passed it along to somebody else, maybe they want to plow thru all the stuff in it, I didn’t. I just want to know what I need to eat, I don’t want to analyze the food. Thanks
