Talk about unusual insight: At age 15, he noticed that he felt better when he at less, so he decided to eat less more purposefully.
At that age Anthony measured 5’9.5” and weighed 160 pounds, giving him a BMI* of 23.3 – perfectly healthy. At this age he responds to our questions:
"I've always looked for the science behind the benefits of any activity that I pursue for my health. I relate very strongly to this aspect of the CR Way.
"My response to the overall nature of the lifestyle started upon finding Paul and Meredith’s CR Way: Wow! For the first time, here’s an approach that reflects ‘Getting it’ – really understanding things with full integration very seldom seen – the kind of mental integration I felt I had, was constantly working to improve, and desperately wanted to see more of in others: I'd found it!
"Now my BMI is 20.2. Current goals involve maintaining as best I can and for as long as I can my present state of robust, excellent health and mental well-being. Central to this is maintaining and enhancing my cognitive capabilities.
"It seems to me that many people live with a level of 'brain fog' that is essentially accepted as normal. Occasionally they experience bursts of clarity; ‘one of my better days.’ Increase the intensity of that clarity further still and imagine having that as your constant state of awareness! That is how I feel, and I think you can too."
