Suggested consumption by Dr. Valter Longo, head of the Longevity Institute at University of Southern California and Author of the Longevity Diet.

• If you have a health or metabolic objective in mind and want to achieve faster the metabolic and rejuvenative successes of ProLon, then you can do ProLon every month for 3 or 4 months and then do it once every 3 months to maintain the benefits.

• 2 times only per year for Healthy Aging (10 days out of 365 days!)

• 3 times per year for Healthy Aging and added Weight Loss (15 days out of 365 days!)

Some people do ProLon once a month for reasons that are in line with therapeutic effects of fasting that we are also researching and will launch under a dietitian guided program in 2023.

The diet should be used for five consecutive days, after which the individual will transition on the 6th day and then resume their normal diet. The program provides a meal card that recommends how to consume the items for each day, but each day’s items can be consumed in any order you wish, as long as you only eat each day’s items during that day (do not carry them over to the next).

While there are many different signaling factors in the “nutrient-sensing pathways” involved with cellular fasting, the 3 primary nutrient-sensing pathways that ProLon and fasting down-regulate are IGF-1, mTOR, and PKA. The process is complex, and each pathway can interact with other pathways, but in general, PKA responds primarily to sugar and carbohydrates, while IGF-1 is primarily responsive to protein (and more strongly triggered by animal protein), and mTOR is triggered by IGF-1 and amino acids. Sugar and carbohydrates (and to some extent caffeine) will activate PKA. These nutrient-sensing pathways all help regulate the cells’ growth cycles and stress-resistant “fasting” state.

ProLon 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: Transforming to a Fasting State: Your body is transitioning to a fasting state and fat- burning mode, and begins preparation for cellular clean-up.

Day 2: Fat Burning & Ketogenesis: Fast Burning & Ketogenesis: Fast-Burning ramps up, contributing to the initiation of ketogenesis (ketone production). By the end of this day (48 hours), ketosis may occur.

Day 3: Autophagy Clean Up State: Cellular clean-up (autophagy) Fat-burning and ketone production/utilization continues and increases.

Day 4: Cellular Rejuvenation:Cellular cleaning/renewal & fat-burning You’re in the final stretch.

Day 5: Renewal & Change: Fast completed, cellular renewal continues beyond Day 5.

While the purpose of the ProLon diet is to trigger rejuvenation, weight loss may occur. Everyone is different, and weight loss depends on a number of factors. In a clinical study of participants who completed a 5-day ProLon cycle once a month for three months, the average weight loss at the end of the study was about 5.7 pounds. This was primarily abdominal fat, while lean body mass was preserved.

Day 1 has about 1100 calories (kcals), while Days 2-5 have between 700 and 800 calories (kcals) per day.
