CRON-diet
CRON-diet
The CRON-diet (pronounced "kron-diet"), also known as Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition diet, is a dietary regimen that aims to improve health and slow the aging process by reducing calorie intake without causing malnutrition.
Etymology
The term "CRON-diet" is an acronym derived from Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition. The concept is based on the idea that reducing calorie intake can lead to improved health and longevity, provided that the diet still contains necessary nutrients.
Description
The CRON-diet involves consuming fewer calories than the body uses, while still meeting all nutritional needs. This is achieved by eating nutrient-dense foods that are low in calories. The diet is not about starvation, but about careful management of calorie intake and nutrient balance.
