Daily Tips — Day 5: You Did It!
Congratulations on making it to the last day of your FMD – on Day 5, you may wake up feeling sharper and recharged! Your body has undergone a significant transformation, and you may also feel lighter or notice a change on the scale. The greatest benefits of your fast, however, go far beyond weight loss alone, by supporting your healthy metabolic markers, and potentially slowing the aging process.
Tips For A Successful Day 5 & Beyond:
- Stay The Course. You're almost at the finish line, so resist the temptation to end your fast early; instead, remain focused these final few hours. You experience the full benefits of this FMD only after your five days are complete, so don't give up now!
- Break Your Fast Gently. For breakfast, we suggest a Fasting Shake, buckwheat porridge, or bone broth. You might enjoy a cooked veggie bowl with beans and avocado for lunch, then introducing something more substantial for dinner, like salmon, rice, and broccoli. Gradually increase your portions over the next few days to avoid overindulging, as eating too much or too quickly can lead to GI upset.
- Incorporate A Longevity Lifestyle. Periodic fasting is a critical piece of the longevity puzzle, but what we choose to eat is also key to lasting health. The Longevity Lifestyle incorporates the Longevity Diet, which is based upon decades of research studying the habits of people living in regions with the highest populations of centenarians. Start adopting some of these habits into your own life by trying a 12:12 Circadian Eating Pattern, adhering to a mostly plant-based diet, consuming smaller portions, and reducing consumption of alcohol and processed foods.

- Explore Our Longevity Products And Services. We offer many other products and services specifically designed with your longevity in mind! For example, L-Protein is an easy and convenient way to get the protein you need every day, while still supporting healthy aging. Nutrition For Longevity is a meal delivery service (and our sister company) that delivers pre-prepared meals straight to your door, and L-Biome is a daily probiotic that helps sustain the integrity of your post-fast microbiome.
This is only the beginning of your longevity journey, and we’re honored to be with you every step of the way. You’ve taken a big step forward by completing the Prolon 5-Day Program, and are well on your way to achieving the lasting health and longevity benefits!

What is Prolon?
Prolon’s 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) offers the benefits of fasting while still allowing you to eat. Backed by over 25 years of research, 32 clinical trials, and $48 million+ in research grants, including from National Institutes of Health (NIH), this program is designed to mimic the effects of fasting without requiring you to abstain from food completely. Each day of the Prolon fast is carefully formulated to activate your body's natural cell-rejuvenating processes which support longevity, healthy aging, and more vibrant living. The five days also build upon one another to trigger the various stages of fasting that contribute to cellular rejuvenation, so each day has its own unique and important role in that process.
Here are some of the key benefits you may experience as a result of Prolon 5-Day:
- Reversal of biological age score*
- Fat-targeted weight loss while protecting lean muscle
- Metabolic health support
- Improved skin appearance
- Boosted motivation to adopt other healthy lifestyle changes
*after three consecutive FMD cycles
We hope these tips help ensure you get the most out of each day of your Prolon 5-Day experience!
