I studied that in college , it's good for you because you have less carbs meaning there's less sugar in your system. Less protein also leads to less sugar and the citric acid cycle slows down and glucogenesis slows down. You will end up breaking down fats as an alternative pathway through ketogenesis. Overall you use up less sugar from carbs and proteins and start utilising energy from fats. It's actually pretty good for diabetes, except you want to keep your blood levels in check because your blood can be acidic from producing too many ketones.

@MrBlueGuy That’s so cool. I’ll try that. You eat two meals a day?
@ShaythePanTransMan Yeah pretty much. I certainly do cheat..I mean if it's Friday night after 8 I'm probably going to have a few beers haha but I just kind of listen to my body.

@Penny really? So when do you eat first?
Penny · 46-50, F

Yes, to an extent. But not when over-done. We need to make sure our bodies are getting proper nutrition.
A lot of things are common sense/personal experience. How we feel and how our bodies feel. Being in tune and listening to it is important.

@basilfawlty89 what do you mean? Gene editing will cause cells to die?
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@ShaythePanTransMan not exactly. With gene editing we can restore cells to youthful epigenetic levels. There are nine hallmarks of aging, if we address all nine it will reverse aging entirely.

@basilfawlty89 Oh! That’s cool. I was confused when you said senescence.
