There is actually considerable laboratory experimental evidence to suggest mammals made to live in sustained fashion at the very edge of calorie deficiency tend to live longer than those either provided continuously with ample calories, or given a feast-famine calorie intake profiles.
So it is not inconceivable that regular fasting might put the observant closer to being on the edge of calorie deficiency, and thus give some longevity benefits.
Having periodic fasting, like Muslims do on Ramadan, on the other hand, would seem more like some form of feast-famine intake profile.
