One of the most common questions before ordering the Prolon 5-Day FMD Protocol has nothing to do with the science: what does the food actually taste like? Here is what to expect, plus the serving habits people mention most.
What to expect, flavor-wise
Expect soups at the center of most days, with nut bars, olives, kale crackers and herbal teas, plus the L-Drink from Day 2. Most of the 5-Day FMD Protocol is savory. In the Original version, the L-Bar adds some sweetness from honey and coconut; the Signature version has Fasting Bars in its place. A hot soup or a warm cup of tea is commonly described as more satisfying than the same item cold or lukewarm (Signature soups are made to be eaten hot or cold).
What's in your specific version
Exact contents vary by which version you order. The product page and the label on your box are the accurate sources for what is included and how each item is meant to be prepared.
Serving habits people mention
A few small habits come up often. Take extra time to enjoy your food: eat slowly, and savor each spoonful of soup. Drinking tea warm rather than lukewarm is one of the most common tips, and spacing items out across the day rather than eating everything at once is another. For what can be added to the 5-Day FMD Protocol when you cannot continue as packaged, including which dried herbs and spices, see the Adding/Additions FAQ.
Choosing a varietal
If taste is your main hesitation, the varietal you choose is the most practical lever: Original and Signature each have a different flavor profile and format. The product page lists the specific soups, bars and snacks in each.
