What happens in my body during the Fasting Mimicking Diet?

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?
