1. I have been doing Keto and intermittent fasting since January

Down nearly 100 pounds. Still can't get much past 24 hours in fasting. I am not quite at One Meal a Day but OMAD 3 days a week or so. Mostly 16/8s.

2. I didn't watch the video, but was interested.

Here's an article:

So what’s the reason? Why have the local population routinely lived longer than 100 years of age? Now EU funding and U.S. researchers are coming to investigate.

One hypothesis is that the deprivation they suffered as children, the fact that they had very little food and were forced to fast for long periods of time, has played a huge part in their longevity.

They claim that a low protein diet is important, not buying that at all.

3. There are other populations that historically live to old age

Some islands in the Aegean, Mormon Utah, French Canadians prior to about 1900. Common to see people live to 104 or 105 after having 9-17 children!

Count me in the pure food, veggies, low carbs, low oil intake (other than pure EV olive oil), and pure food without pollutants, non-GMO. A lot of diseases arose after about 1880 with the intro of processed oils, 1940s with trans fats, 1970s with 'new' forms of wheat, factory farms. Today's chickens are fattier and don't exercise any part of their 50 days alive. Free range organic grass fed chickens produce different eggs. There's less coagulation in the yolks. So we've done it to ourselves.

4. I do low carb as best I can

And try to get protein from nuts, etc.

It's been known for a while that severe caloric restriction can extend life, but no thanks, I'll take my chances, lol.

5. I've been a half assed vegan for years. Too much info shows intermit fasting is a good thing

for health. I'm now doing 18/6 to get rid of my "quarantine 15" and seems to be working for this geezer..
