Thinking about Fasting?
People have long-since practiced fasting for its impressive impact on health, longevity, energy and mental clarity.
Thanks to recent scientific advances, we now know that when you fast under the right conditions and for the right amount of time, incredible transformations can take place in the body. Welcome to Benefits of Fasting where we explore the benefits of
Benefits
The benefits of fasting are wide-ranging, and can be broken down into three distinct categories:
1. Weight Control & Weight Loss
2. Activating Biological Fasting
3. Triggering Cellular Optimization & Rejuvenation
Beyond fat-focused weight loss, most fasts put your body into phase one of so-called “survival mode,” which can impact health markers
Take 5
But only when you fast for long enough are the next two phases of biological fasting activated. These are the stages that: promote healthy aging, boost stem cell-based rejuvenation, optimize cellular function and stimulate autophagy (the clean up of aged and damaged cells), accelerate weight loss, increase
Fasting With Food.
The ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet is the first and only doctor recommended, clinically tested, scientific breakthrough in Fasting Mimicking technology that gives your body the fat loss, metabolic support and stem cell-based rejuvenation of a 5-day fast while getting to eat real food.
Fasting goes back as far as the human race when our forefathers fasted out of necessity. Food was not always plentiful and in times where food was scarce, our bodies had to learn to adapt. This evolutionary adaption process (we call it fasting mode) that we have when we go through prolonged periods without food is actually one that offers a variety of health benefits all the way down to the cellular level!
However, in today’s day and age where food is plentiful many fear the idea of not getting to eat food for several consecutive days in order to get the benefits of fasting.
Now, you can get all the benefits of a 5-day fast… with food with ProLon.
WHO SHOULD FAST.
Fasting for more than 3 consecutive days. This goes beyond weight loss to stimulate biological fasting and cellular autophagy (the recycling of damaged cells), but can result in ravenous hunger, dizziness, and a loss of lean body mass (muscle and bone) from a lack of eating.
Best Fasts for Specific REsults
It’s important to understand the different types of fasts for the results you’re looking for. You’re likely to lose weight with almost any fast (simply due to calorie restriction), but most won’t trigger the deep cellular renewal and optimization exclusive to biological fasting.Time Restricted Eating (TRE):
Here you’ll fast from 12-16 hours a day and eat normally for the rest of it.
This can lead to weight loss and management but skips out on deeper biological fasting results mentioned above id
Prolonged
Fasting (PF)
Fasting for more than 3 consecutive days. This goes beyond weight loss to stimulate biological fasting and cellular autophagy (the recycling of damaged cells), but can result in ravenous hunger, dizziness, and a loss of lean body mass (muscle and bone) from a lack of eating.
Intermittent Fasting (IF):
Consists of on-and-off eating days, separated by non-consecutive fasting days on a schedule of 5:2 (eating normally five days a week, fasting two), 4:3 (eating normally four days a week, fasting three), or alternate days (fasting every other day).
Some choose to consume >600 calories for men and >500 for women on so-called fasting days.
Intermittent Fasting can help with weight loss and metabolic optimization, but you’ll miss out on benefits like cellular optimization & rejuvenation, visceral fat loss, and improved cognitive performance achieved from consecutive fasting days.
The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD)
a food-based program that simulates 5 consecutive days of fasting while supplying the body with enough nutrition to maintain lean muscle mass. Your body goes through all 3 phases of survival mode, triggering the rejuvenating benefits of autophagy, an increase in circulating stem cells in the bloodstream, enhanced energy, and optimized performance. FMD helps maximize potential fasting benefits, while largely eliminating the drawbacks.

Who Should Not Fast
Skipping meals can be dangerous for people with certain medical conditions, like Diabetes (type 1 or 2), cancer, liver or kidney disease, a heart condition, or a history of fainting. Do not fast if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, underweight or malnourished, or outside the ages of 18-70. As always, it’s best to consult a doctor before any fasting program.
