The original observation was with low calorie. Doing it low carb is the

It doesn't work with monkeys either.


I'm not sure what you mean here. Calorie reduction works for monkeys.
What I do not believe has been tried is changing the gram and calorie
counts in the food given to the monkey experimental subjects from
lowering all 3 macronutrients equally to lowering carbs dramatically
then only reducing fat and protein some.

Plus, low calory diets are also (usually) LOWER carb diets (by
definition).

Going to 20 for life might well extend life


If only via a reduction of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart attacks
strokes, and cancer, by reducing the risk markers for those diseases.


That too.
