Mike,

I picked up the book again from the library. Longo is anti-saturated fats, in fact calls them "the BAD animal saturated fats" through the book. The make-our-own version has 25g of PLANT-based protein on day one, no protein Day 2-5 so Jerky is obviously out.

Also no fruit, honey, cheese nor even avocado mentioned.

The FMD on page 114:

Day 1- 1,100 Calories
500 cal complex carbs (veggies)
500 cal healthy fats (nuts, olive oil)
25 g plant-based protein, mostly nuts.
1 multi, 1 Omega 3, tea, unlimited water.

Day 2-5 - 800 calories
400 cal. complex carbs
400 cal healthy fats
1 multi, 1 omega 3, tea,

Day 6-Transition with mostly complex carbs.

Also suggests 3 meals a day, or two and a snack.

This is way too complicated for me, why I stopped reading and didn't remember much about Longo's FMD itself. The cancer and longevity info is good though.

My suggestion, Stay VLC and eat in a Time Restricted window, like OMAD, and it's easy as pie. (no, not that type of pie ) https://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=472377
