That kind of thinking is so odd. He thinks every eating plan is stupid, because it's not his eating plan.
As if eating that many pills and his weird food is the only way to optimize one's self.
I didn't get the same impression as you. I always thought it's implied he's talking about what's good for him, not all people. He then uses that as a framework for something others could pickup and incorporate in their lives.
I like the iterative nature of his work - he always tries to improve the recipes and supplements he takes.
I always see a lot of negative comments about the guy here on HN, and he's basically hacking his own body and publishes everything for free[0].
"Slowed pace of aging by 31 years": How could one possibly quantify this accurately?
Depending on his body weight, a bench press of 240lbs isn't particularly notable or impressive.
Giving leg press numbers instead of something like deadlift or squat is a bit suspicious. Leg press is easy to cheat by limiting range of motion. Plus full body movements that require more stabilization would be a better measure if one is trying to prove they haven't aged.
Comparing strength numbers to an 18 year old is probably not the best metric, given that strength takes a certain amount of time to build. Not that there are good scientific papers on this but I think general consensus is it peaks mid 20s
I'm speaking specifically about a recent video where he explicitly says that every other diet is worthless because it's not backed by data, and his is.
