I would prefer to avoid dramatic emotional effects such as that one.

That was just a two-day fast. As I recall, I didn't find that particular
emotional effect to be negative. I rather enjoyed it. But then, as a
veteran of the '60's, hallucinations and such were something I had learned
to live with. Now that I am much older and many years away from that sort
of thing I would perhaps not find it so entertaining. But you never know.

This brings me to ask a few questions pertaining to us humans. A
successful human life involves several challenges for which the lab
animals were not evaluated or could not replicate.

Also: Unless you have a team of grad students making your meals and doing
your research for you, are your extra years of life just going into
measuring out your meals and obsessing over mouse data?

I don't measure out my meals or spend any time at all obsessing over data.
I just eat only really good food and don't eat too much of it. I supplement
it with some extra vitamins & minerals. That's it.

Easier said than done, sure, until old habits are thoroughly changed. But
once habits are changed, then it's not much harder to eat well and eat less
than it once was to eat badly and eat too much.

In any case, the main perk you get from CR is not longevity but good health
right now, in the present.
