This was mentioned on HN not too long ago: https://prolonfmd.com/ https://prolonfmd.com/ (fasting mimicking diet). If they'd ship to where I live I'd try it. Always happy to try new things that could potentially benefit.

That URL is mentioned in the article. The site requires you to fill out a survey to see the cost. For the curious: 1-2 boxes: $299 per box One box of ProLon is a 5-day total diet replacement. No extra food purchases needed for those days. 3-6 boxes: $250 per box Using three boxes of ProLon over a three month period replicates the clinical trial protocol. Price includes shipping, sales tax charged only in CA.

  Why couldn't I just drink water and electrolytes instead?

    I recall an interview with Valter Longo in which he said the fasting-mimicking diet was just because patients were more comfortable with eating a special diet than with a full water fast, and doctors were also more willing to recommend the FMD than a water fast, because it seems so extreme to people. So you certainly can just do a water fast instead.
