The Longevity Diet

Good, some interesting study on the effects of reducing calories for repeated short time frames for various health conditions. The emphasis on eating well (but not much), predominantly plants, and regular practice are all throughout the book. The bottom line is that we all should practice calorie restriction to minimize the risk for major killers.

Some things I didn't like:
- Anytime you're trying to sell me something, I lose trust in the science you're preaching. It's not an in-face advertisement, and there is a claim that Longo doesn't profit from Prolon, but still...
- FMD post looks hard. I'll give it a go, but fasting for eight days with 800 calories per day, doesn't sound welcoming.
- A lot of animal studies, but I feel that there is not much information (from a time scale perspective) related to human response to the diet
