“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?
You don’t eat all of them just those low in isoleucine. I wonder how hard it is tell them apart?
They fed fruit flies ‘nutritionally complete synthetic foods.’ Are they testing that amino acid or how well humans age on synthetic food?
Besides despising tofu and yogurt, your diet sounds good.
This doesn't sound simpler. The simplest way I know to avoid consuming isoleucine is (wait for it)...fasting.
Researchers find simpler alternative to intermittent fasting?
Intermittent eating?.................
Foods high in isoleucine include beef, chicken, pork, fish, tofu, dairy, beans, lentils, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and vegetables like peas.......................
Intermittent fasting requires avoiding all food.
When you are supposed to be fasting, you can now have an apple.
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...
