- I have been on a CRAN diet (was 1500 calories/day during weight loss, now 1800 calories/day) since August 1993.
Here are my blood test results while on a CRAN diet (most recent, or with notes and charts
(requires recent browser version): click on tabs at bottom of the page. Or view my blood tests on the previous old page)
- Dietary changes may have resulted in the greatly improved cholesterol test results shown above. Approximations to my diet at that time are in the links below. After loading, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Start NAT to see the individual foods and perform analyses or adjustments.
- Nearly typical combined Breakfast and Lunch foods
- Close approximation to typical Dinner foods
- (I had to make some substitutions since the USDA database version used by NAT doesn't have values for whey isolate, flaxseed, flax oil, nutritional yeast, grapefruit fiber, guar gum, psyllium fiber, or other little additives I typically eat. But the above values will give a good idea of what I eat.)
- Download CR-Buddy, a diet analysis program I wrote in Excel (97 or 2000), specially designed to help ensure adequate nutrient intake while on a calorically restricted diet. Here are screenshots of CR-Buddy. I have set up a discussion group at Yahoo for people interested in using CR-Buddy and developing it. (You might need to sign up for the group before you can download files or view the screenshots.) The idea and name for CR-Buddy was inspired by a Zone diet analysis Excel workbook written by Len Marinaccio - Zone Buddy.
