[quote=Anonymous][quote]Instead of dieting all the time I’m going to do a modified 5 day fast every few months for health and longevity benefits. I’m not super thin but it’s kept my weight in check. This is from Dr Walter longo’s extensive, decades long research into longevity and health span. Rest of his recommendations are also easy for me 90 pct of the time…a pescatarian diet with a lot of veggies and legumes, fats from nuts avocado etc. healthy carbs included. Not high protein (which has undesirable effects in terms of aging cancer etc). Moderate zone 3-3 exercise. Occasional wine, it’s s lifestyle that’s sustainable . I probably eat more dairy and the occasional red or white mean than recommended but doesn’t seem to bother me and I really prefer a more plant based diet. Cutting sugar and refined flour was key but I’ve been doing that for a year anyway, slowly. I do eat real
Fermented sourdough bread (1pc a day with avocado tomato olive oil spinach and cukes..,hmmm) but no snacks. I eat 2-3 times a day max.

Since doing this 4 months (one full fast cycle and doing my second now) I’ve lost 6 lbs (126 to 120); skin looks good
(I get rosacea) ; digestive issues better (also added pro and prebiotic) and my cholesterol dropped into normal after being chronically high (family history) with a drop in ldl and increase in Hdl.

120 lb is pretty thin unless you’re short [/quote]

I round up to 5'2"! So 120 is a heathy weight but not thin. I actually dont want to  lose weight, just build some muscle-my face is good right now. I lost some weight a few years ago due to illness and I looked really drawn. I guess its true,after 40 (50?) you choose between face and ass...[/quote]
