Welcome, someone know thats true high protein and high carb diet short life?
What macros(Prot./Carb./Fat) proportions are very good for healthy man?

I always liked the 50/30/20 carb/fat/protein.

There are so many theories and experiments but little facts on humans.

 

On lab mice the literature suggests that a very high carb diet with little protein (C/P ratio = 10) increases longevity.

In humans, in the longevity-prone blue zone areas people tend to eat  prevalently carbs, with fats and protein subordinate. healthy food, like vegetables, natural starch, fruit, nuts & seeds, little animal protein, usually

Little experimental evidence in humans, but the animal studies are very consistent: protein restriction extends lifespan. And in humans, higher protein intake, at least from high methionine animal sources, increases cardiometabolic risk and all-cause mortality among the middle aged. As you'll note from the refs below, its a lively topic of research of late, particularly at the Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney, and in Valter Longo's lab at USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology.

 

Given true protein and or methionine restriction is not particularly practical for the weak-willed like myself, I aim for protein and methionine moderation, a high ratio of (glycine+serine)/(methionine+cysteine) (ie, legumes/nuts for protein), and periodic fasts. The animal evidence makes a compelling case that caloric restriction practitioners that achieve satiety through high protein diets may be undermining the benefits.

 

Recent studies/reviews focusing on animal protein restriction experiments:

I'll skip the methionine restriction experiments/reviews, as I'd be here all night.
