The Gene Smart Diet  by Floyd Chilton
Scientists have long suspected that severe calorie restriction promotes optimal health and longevity by stressing the body in a way that positively influences certain genes. But who wants to undertake a near-starvation diet for the prospect of living longer? The fabulous news is that we may not need to. Dr Floyd Chilton proposes that we can achieve the benefits of calorie restriction without actually cutting calories. Drawing on solid scientific evidence he illustrates how – by eating more of some foods and less of others – we can rewrite our genetic blueprint and lose weight, protect against “age-related” illness, and, ultimately, enjoy more healthy, vital years.
