Summary

Can what you eat determine how long, and how well, you live? Longo says yes-- and lays out a simple solution to living to a healthy old age through nutrition. The key is combining an healthy everyday eating plan with the scientifically engineered fasting-mimicking diet, or FMD, done just 3-4 times a year. By following this diet low in proteins and sugars and rich in healthy fats and plant-based foods, you'll lose weight, extend your lifespan and live a more fulfilled life
