A lot of familiar stuff... some highlights:
(Count the meals!)The menu is what might be called Old Italian Man: some milk with bread in it for breakfast, broth with egg in it for lunch, a small piece of goat or veal meat and perhaps a vegetable later in the day.
And he even did "glass ceiling:"Cornaro was not [merely] about caloric restriction. He was about something much tougher, and much more honest: the recognition that to make a habit is viscerally human, but to control a habit takes something from above — the head.
As he aged, he got a little too hard core for my taste. I think I'd prefer death to the single egg a day he reportedly subsisted on in his nineties.And about two cups of wine (white and “new”). This last he termed “my milk.”
