Calorie restriction or Caloric restriction (CR) is the practice of limiting dietary energy intake to improve health and retard aging. In human subjects, CR has been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Some consider these to be biomarkers of aging, as such diseases are more frequent with increasing age. Every animal species tested with CR so far, including primates, rats, spiders and rotifers, has shown corresponding lifespan extension. CR is the only known dietary measure capable of extending maximum lifespan, as opposed to average lifespan. Energy intake must be minimized, but sufficient quantities of vitamins, minerals and other important nutrients must still be ingested. To emphasize this, CR is often referred to by a plethora of other names such as CRON or CRAN (calorie restriction with optimal/adequate nutrition), or the "high-low diet" (high in all nutrients aside from calories, in which it is "low"). Other names for the diet emphasize the goal of the diet, such as CRL (calorie restriction for longevity), or simply The Longevity Diet, as in a recently published book by that name. ...more on Wikipedia about "Calorie restriction"

The Graham Diet was invented around 1829 by Sylvester Graham, a self proclaimed " Physiological Reformer". It was based mainly on whole wheat and high fiber, and excluded meat, butter, and spices all together. He believed that adhering to the diet would prevent people from having impure thoughts and in turn would stop masturbation (thought by Graham to be a catalyst for blindness) among other things. He was a prolific writer and speaker for his cause which was sternly opposed to "bad habits" of the body and mind. During the 1830's the diet had a moderate response from the mostly puritanical faction of the American public, so much so that at one point it was strictly implemented on students of Oberlin College by David Campbell (a disciple of Graham's). During the period in which it was enforced some rebellious students took it upon themselves to eat off of campus for nourishment, and at one point a Professor was fired for refusing to stop bringing his own pepper for use with his meals. It was eventually renounced by the college in 1841 following a public outcry. However the Graham cracker invented by its namesake as a staple for the diet, is one of the only lasting reminders of this unhealthy nutriment. ...more on Wikipedia about "Graham Diet"
