Each year over 50 when you do it you only gain 2 to 3 years haha
Fasting as 'an amazing way of life'.

I think he may have been misunderstood. He talks about healthful fats, although he still thinks they should be consumed in relatively limited quantities.
That's his tune now, but his "institute" was promoting 10g of fat per day back in the 80s. The Snackwell fad hit when his books were popular.
Sugar is the leading cause of disease in this country, not fats. Same can be stated about CAD. He's woefully out of touch. Med-diet, etc.
I can't argue about sugar, but I don't know about throwing fibrous whole-food carbs out with the simple carb bathwater. I think that is Ornish's point. Also, at the 3-minute mark, he discusses a cardiac patient whose arteries he shows before and after the kind of diet he proposes.

I can produce endless studies of CAD-improvement on keto. Death from CAD is ALL about VLDL. The structural difference between VLDL (from sugars) and ingested fats.

Sure, but when you limit fat and sugar... what have you got? A vegan diet of beans, potatoes, oats...
Well, that might overstating it a bit. Limiting fat does not mean virtually eliminating it. I get what I believe to be a reasonable amount of fat from my diet mostly in the form of nuts and seeds, small amounts of lean meat and a bit of olive oil here and there.
Look, I can't debate the science with you, which is why I'm hoping you'll comment on the video when you've had a chance watch it. I'd like to know where you think he gets it wrong. It's not a challenge of any kind. I really just want to know. The video is about 17 minutes long.
Also limiting carbs does not mean virtually eliminating it as well. I know Dest mentioned 0 carbs but in all the Keto research I have studied I have not seen truly 0 carb being advocated even in the older epilepsy studies or cancer studies.
Also no true advocacy for the all you can eat bacon and steaks that some book authors have pushed.
I am afraid the science found in multiple research studies is rarely replicated correctly in the fab books being published (books are never peer reviewed).
