“shown remarkable results in fruit flies “
That does it, works for me...................

Nothing as easy for me as intermittent fasting. According to Johns Hopkins University,
“There are several different ways to do intermittent fasting, but they are all based on choosing regular time periods to eat and fast. For instance, you might try eating only during an eight-hour period each day and fast for the remainder. “
I do that quite naturally. Rarely hungry, I eat breakfast late, noon sometimes, and eat dinner about seven. . Never have lunch except about twice a month when I go out for lunch with friends. . And I weigh 116 with clothes on.
My secret? I hate to cook. Avoid fat and salt. Don’t eat wheat. Buy organic.
My dad was in the restaurant business and advised: “Buy the best food you can afford and do as little as possible to it.” I don’t have “recipes”. Steam potatoes and veggies, and have chicken,, or salmon, or tofu sautéed with mushrooms for dinner.. Beef maybe once every two weeks. That’s dinner. Nonfat yogurt with fruit for dessert.
At 87, I’m really healthy except osteoporosis has set in. Broke one knee last year, other ankle this year, so exercise isn’t happening. Worrisome.
Hmm...
Only from my cold, dead isoleucine receptors!

I’m not eating fruit flies … /s
Scientists have identified a less stringent and more manageable alternative to traditional intermittent - intermittent dying.

So what are the high isoleucine foods that you should avoid for this diet to work? And is this an on off thing— or something you do forever?
They fed fruit flies ‘nutritionally complete synthetic foods.’ Are they testing that amino acid or how well humans age on synthetic food?
This doesn't sound simpler. The simplest way I know to avoid consuming isoleucine is (wait for it)...fasting.
Foods high in isoleucine include beef, chicken, pork, fish, tofu, dairy, beans, lentils, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and vegetables like peas.......................
To me, fasting is taking in 2200 calories instead of 2800...
When I was younger it was about 500 more calories but at 71 I can’t burn as many as I used to...
“They maintained flies for one, two, three or five weeks (of their approximately nine-week mean lifespan) on a nutritionally complete synthetic diet, at which point they transferred them to a diet lacking isoleucine for one, three, five or seven days, and then measured their survival when exposed to a lethal toxin.”
I don’t think I want to do this, LOL! At least they’re not experimenting on puppies for this study!
Beau and I only eat 2 meals a day, so we’re ‘fasting’ for 18 hours most days and it’s also less money spent on groceries. If we’re just ‘starving’ at mid-day we’ll have cheese and sausage, or something else low-carb. We don’t eat any fruit other than berries on cottage cheese at times. I don’t even remember what a banana looks like! ;)
We’re not LOSING any more weight, but we’re not GAINING any weight, so there’s that. Both of us are 63, with no medical issues. We eat at a restaurant once in a Blue Moon and have ‘fast food’ even less than that.
And even though we only eat TWO meals a day, WHY are there ALWAYS dishes in the sink to wash? Solve THAT ONE, Scientists! ;)

Useful info...for dieting fruit flies.
I am not a scientist, but I think this means my fruit flies can eat like pigs as long as they also smoke lots of nicotine.
Making inferences from mouse studies to humans is bad enough but Drosophilidae to people?
