The Calorie Restriction Society is dedicated to understanding and promoting the Calorie Restriction (CR) diet. We do this by

• providing basic information about practicing CR
• running several active email groups
• acting as a contact point for anyone interested in CR
• pursuing basic research in CR through long-term human studies
• organizing regular CR Conferences
• working with the media to inform and educate the public

The organization was formally established as a USA 501(c)(3) Non-Profit in December 2002, but it existed in embryonic form as early as January 1993.
