FMD® provides the body with a scientifically developed, naturally occurring combination of macronutrients (fats, carbohydrates, proteins) and micronutrients (essential vitamins and minerals) designed to keep the body nourished while going through the rejuvenating process of the fasting state.
What happens on Days 1 to 5 on my Prolon Fast?
- Day 1: Fasting State: The body transitions into a fasting state and fat-burning mode so it can begin cellular clean-up.
- Day 2: Fat Burning & Ketogenesis: Fat burning ramps up, contributing to the initiation of ketogenesis (ketone production). By the end of this day (48 hours), ketosis may occur.
- Day 3: Fat burning and ketone production/utilization continue and may increase.
- Day 4: Cellular Rejuvenation: Cellular cleaning and rejuvenation continue. Fat-burning and ketosis continue.
- Day 5: Renewal: Sustained cellular recycling, rejuvenation, and renewal. Sustained ketosis.
- Day 6 and beyond: Nourish the body by breaking the fast.
During the fast, the Prolon 5-Day FMD Protocol activates autophagy, a key cellular cleanup process.
