What is Fasting Mimicking?

Enter the concept of fasting mimicking—an approach that tricks the body into thinking it is fasting while allowing for food.

ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet is a 5-day meal program that provides scientifically researched micro- and macro-nutrients in precise quantities and combinations that nourish the body, but are not recognized as food, and therefore mimics a fasting state.

Until recently, the idea of fasting with food was incomprehensible. After all, the definition of fasting is to abstain from food for a specific period of time. And it’s during this period that the body experiences various fasting modes, each offering a range of life-enhancing, physical effects. The benefits of these effects can increase with longer fasts. The challenge for many, however is to get through a prolonged fasting period (between 4-7 days) without food.

Here's How it Works

Here’s what physical effects take place during the 5 days on the Fasting Mimicking Diet combined with the food and drinks you will consume on that day.

Day 1

Transforming to
a Fasting State

The body transitions into a fasting state & fat-burning mode so it can begin cellular clean-up.
.

Day2

Fat Burning & Ketogenesis

Fat-burning ramps up, contributing to the initiation of ketogenesis (ketone production). By the end of this day (48hrs), ketosis may occur.

Day2

Autophagy
Clean Up State

Cellular clean-up (autophagy) begins. Fat-burning and ketone production/ utilization continues and increases.
.

Day 4

Cellular
Rejuvenation

Cellular cleaning/renewal & fat-burning continues. You're in the final stretch!
.
.

Day 5 and Beyond

Renewal & Transformation

Your transformational journey is completed. Re-feeding beyond day 5 will fuel a better you.
.

Only through a prolonged fast can all these physiological effects be achieved, which is why the concept of fasting with food is so appealing.

Fasting For All

Formulating The Fasting Mimicking Diet

The benefits of prolonged fasts can be so great our scientists wanted to create a program that would bring as many of these benefits as possible to those who may not be able to go without food for a longer period of time on their own; and so the Fasting Mimicking Diet was created.

Now you can receive many of the benefits of a traditional fast with perfectly formulated meals. Each day's food is separately packaged, the directions are easy to follow, and ready to consume in minutes.
