I wasn't being harsh. There's a lot of good recommendations (extra of most
vitamins, keep fat and calories down, plenty of trace minerals, etc.) But
the the original poster requested superlatives ("best", "optimal" "most
efficient") and that is most definitely not to be had. All this stuff is
most tentative. Remember the results of the long-term beta carotene studies?
Surprise!

The best way to succeed in CR is a *completely* open question. I'm not aware
of one whit of research in how different methods compare in effectiveness.
Animal models are useless as the animals can't make informed decisions; they
must be forced to eat less.
