I have no discipline, I couldn't force myself to follow a fasting plan or even lose weight by trying to lose weight. I always eat breakfast, just cold cereal and coffee. I have no interest in denying meals for whatever reason. If there was a study that concluded I could live longer or be healthier by manipulating my diet or fasting it wouldn't matter to me.
I feel very fortunate to be 68 and still able to do what I do. I smoked a lot of cigarettes for 20 years, drank enough to cause internal bleeding, worked in toxic environments, etc. I've outlived my grandfather, one uncle, one brother, and my father made it about 8 months older than I am now.

I'm about 200 pounds now which is lighter than I have been as an adult since the time I starved and lost 55 pounds when I was about 19. Was close to 250 in high school. Went back up to 260 when I was drinking.

Kudos to those who have self control, it ain't me.
