the world's most extreme diet really help you live to 120? Wheat, sugar, dairy, meat are ALL banned - so is tap water

 Elvira and Claus Bonrich believe they can live longer than anyone in the world by monitoring every single mouthful they take

Elvira and Claus Bonrich are the very model of a successful young couple.
With their impressive careers - Claus is a software programmer and Elvira works in an upmarket health food shop - their immaculate home in Wimbledon, South London, and their wardrobe of designer clothes, they couldn’t appear more conventional.
But they have a quite extraordinary ambition. Elvira, 28, and Claus, 33, want to live longer than anyone in the world has ever done before.

And they believe they can achieve this - simply by monitoring every single mouthful they take.
The Bonrichs are devotees of a diet and health regime which has taken America by storm and is now attracting much interest here. The eating programme is known as Calorie Restriction.
Its diet of steamed vegetables, fish, nuts and more nuts may appear, well, nuts, to cynics. But followers are convinced that it’s the passport to longevity.
By living on near starvation rations, they believe they have found the secret to living into their hundreds.

‘We think about every single morsel of food we put in our bodies,’ explains Elvira. ‘We’ve been following the programme for two-and-a-half years.
‘We do not eat wheat, gluten, dairy, sugar, meat or even drink tap water. I take nutrient supplements and I go to the gym at least three times a week and run nearly every day.’
Devotees claim that by gaining the optimum nutrients from the fewest amount of calories, not only will you live longer and your body age at a slower rate, but you will be far less prone to disease such as heart attacks, diabetes, stroke and cancer - the main killers in the UK.
Some of the converted claim it could help humans live to as old as 140. Followers of Calorie Restriction claim to number in the millions in America, some of whom have been following the plan for the past 20 years.
