What is Fasting Mimicking?
Most people know the basic concept of fasting, but what is fasting mimicking?
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, however for many is to get through a prolonged fasting period (between 4-7 days) without food.
Enter the concept of fasting mimicking—an approach that tricks the body into thinking it is fasting while allowing for food.
The ProLon® Fasting Mimicking Diet® is a 5-day meal program that provides scientifically researched micro and macronutrients in precise quantities and combinations that nourish the body, but are not recognized as food, and therefore mimics a fasting state.
How it Works
Here’s what physical effects take place during the 5 days on the Fasting Mimicking Diet.
Fasting State
ProLon is designed to prime your body to transition into a fasting state so it can begin cellular recycling.
Fat Burning
ProLon guides your body to switch to a fat burning state. Cellular clean up (autophagy) begins.
Cellular Recycling
… and many people reach a degree of the fat burning metabolic state known as full ketosis.
Cell Regeneration
Autophagy continues and stem cell-based regeneration is ramping up.
Regeneration Continues
Stem cell rejuvenation continues to enhance cellular renewal and the body.
Only through a prolonged fast can all these physiological effects be achieved, which is why the concept of fasting with food is so appealing.
The Fasting Mimicking Diet is a nutritional breakthrough that provides a daily offering of delicious foods to help reduce hunger pangs often experienced during a fast that extends beyond 48 hours.
The result is the ability to more easily stick with the 5-day program to its conclusion, so these health benefits can be attained. To learn more about ProLon’s 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet, click here.
