Thanks for giving it a read! Very excited to see results of Dr. Longo's study in Italy as well. For now we have his 6 guidelines of a "longevity diet":
1. Limit calorie intake to maintain a body mass index of 22 to 23 for men and 21 to 22 for women.
2. Eat a diet high in wholegrains, legumes and nuts. Stop eating meat to restrict intake of the amino acid methionine, but include some fish.
3. Aim to get between 45 and 60 per cent of calories from non-refined complex carbohydrates, 10 to 15 per cent from plant-based proteins and 25 to 35 per cent from plant-based fats.
4. Do a limited daily fast, eating no calories from around 3 hours before bedtime and for the next 11 to 12 hours.
5. Every two to three months, undertake five days of a fasting-mimicking diet (see main story).
6. Alcohol is allowed in small amounts, but no more than 5 units a week.
P.S. Love your comment about typographying! I wish it was intended but it's just a default font on the Shopify template I'm using :)
