Despite the considerable attention given to calorie restriction and intermittent fasting in the research community, there is very little formalism applied to the practice in humans. The few clinical trials conducted to date have had to pick their own protocols, and it is only comparatively recently that the fasting mimicking diet was developed to plant a flag on one specific implementation. The challenge here is that it is difficult to monetize calorie restriction and fasting, and thus there is no push towards standardization or more detailed assessment of variant protocols from any of the usual parties who might otherwise be doing so. It is unlikely that the fasting mimicking diet or any of the existin…
