Problem is we all die of something. Is adding those years risking a worse death? For example, perhaps you have a heart attack and die or you follow this and get 4 years but along comes cancer or something worse.

As someone who has followed a very intense, primarily no-meat, calorie-restricted diet since 2016, I can tell you the question is NOT adding more years, but adding more HEALTHY years.

It works for me! At almost 80 and living on a 1000-calorie-a-day diet for 8 years, I'm still very active, walk three to five miles a day, and continue to work full-time.

I started this for medical reasons. It worked better than expected.

While I fully understand it is not for everyone, it has changed my life. I no longer "live to eat" but "eat to live."

You should try it.

Mind if I ask - how did this affect your LDL/HDL and insulin sensitivity or other parameters?

That’s great. I hope you live to a healthy 105. I couldn’t do that because I love food too much. Luckily my metabolism keeps up and the weight off. But the cholesterol is another story.
