Bryan Johnson follows a 2,000-calorie vegan diet, exercises an hour daily, and takes roughly 100 pills to fill nutritional gaps. He tracks muscle mass, body fat, and liver health with MRI scans to verify the protocol works. Johnson says most people fail at veganism because they miss critical nutrients his supplements prevent.
The reason why I take 100 pills a day is if the budget is 2000 calories a day, and the objective is perfect nutrition and it's vegan, this is what keeps my body in that perfect state. And so this is why a lot of people who do try to go vegan or do caloric restriction fail is because their body's missing critical, important pieces of nutrition. So this is what I did, is I put myself on this. I call this my autonomous self. It's a 2,000 calories a day, an hour of exercise a day. It's vegan. I just let my body run. So looked at muscle mass, body fat. I measure all these things. Full body, MRI of fat, of liver, and then we say, how is it's doing? And it's working like it basically has tuned my body to near perfect health.
