From the website:
>Eat mostly vegan, plus a little fish, limiting meals with fish to a maximum of two or three per week. Choose fish, crustaceans, and mollusks with a high omega-3, omega-6, and vitamin B12 content (salmon, anchovies, sardines, cod, sea bream, trout, clams, shrimp). Pay attention to the quality of the fish, choosing those with low levels of mercury.
From Wikipedia:
>Longo...is an Italian-American biogerontologist and cell biologist known for his studies on the role of fasting and nutrient response genes on cellular protection aging and diseases...He is currently a professor at the USC Davis School of Gerontology with a joint appointment in the department of Biological Sciences as well as serving as the director of the USC Longevity Institute.

Plant based cardiologist Dr. Joel Khan has been talking about it for a little while now. He mostly cites Dr. Valter Longo's research (and his fasting mimicking diet) out of USC.
Here's a podcast episode where Dr. Khan talks at length about fasting and a plant based diet for longevity and treating heart disease.
I have been doing what Dr. Longo calls "time restricted feeding" for a few months now, and it's been great. I don't eat between 6pm and 7am every day.
Dr. Longo has been researching longevity for decades now, and his science is pretty convincing. True North has been treating very sick people with medically supervised water fasts for even longer. The evidence was strong enough for me to try it out. But I'm not a scientist, just a very skeptical and curious person. So YMMV.
