The above suggestions on diet get down to:

1- Optimize (minimize according to individual strict needs and tolerance) carbs consumption
2- Optimize (minimize according to individual strict needs) proteins consumption

Pls. note, optimum protein intake for longevity and diseases prevention is pretty low, often less than the RDI of 0.8 gr of proteins per kg ideal bodyweight per day. Dr. rosedale says between 0.6 and 0.75.
Dr. Attia makes the most correct point to fine-tune intake according to individual needs, which is not easy.

Bottom line: the lesser carbohydrates and proteins we eat without starving ourselves, the longer we are probably going to live diseaseless.
