So why again am I doing this FMD?

ABSTRACT. I've been doing health related experiments my whole life. FMD is a continuation. The goal is to not die, not just out of a fear of death, but because I have dependents who need me to live well past 60 and to be healthy enough to work well past 60. Well, it starts back when I was in my teens and started reading books at random at the library. I ended up in the health section and found it a strangely compelling genre because unlike fiction, it had actionable advice. So starts a lifetime of health hacking. First major experiment - vegetarianism. A read a book that made a solid case about the environmental, ethical and health case for vegetarianism. I signed up as a vegetarian, aka cheesatarian, because I could find cheese & egg dishes my family made & restaurants served. I spend the next 20+ years eating too much dairy, bounded only by some low-fat protocols I followed. Second major experiment - low fat. This was highly compatible with vegetarianism. It...

So I'm FMD fasting again

I'm doing a Fasting Mimicking Diet again. This my 3rd. I've been too cheap to buy a Prolon kit, so I'm using Enid Kassner's recipe set . I'm starting late because it is hard to do the cooking in addition to regular cooking during the week. I couldn't start any later because I don't want to end fast exactly on Thanksgiving. I'll have 24 hours of regular eating to prepare for the big lunch on Thanksgiving. Yesterday I did my last run until after the fast. I'm training for a 5K in 6 months. I'll just be doing my unavoidable walking for exercise. My weight is 148 or so, so I should survive losing the 5+ lbs. The first FMD I did, I went from 150 to 145, and mostly felt fine. The second FMD I did, I went from like 145 to under 140 and I was ravenously hungry all the time. After that one, my new rule is I don't fast if I'm not at or near 150 lbs. My cheats enumerated: * Swapping sesame for walnut, my knee hurts from running & sesa...
