💧 TL;DR: Why the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) Is a Safer, Smarter Alternative to Water Fasting

Water fasting can lead to nutrient deficiencies, low blood pressure, and muscle loss, making it unsustainable for long-term health. The Prolon 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) delivers the same fasting benefits—cellular rejuvenation, fat loss, and metabolic reset—while still nourishing your body with essential nutrients.

✅ Clinically backed by 25+ years of research and 41 active clinical trials
✅ Supports autophagy, your body’s natural cellular clean-up process
✅ Preserves lean muscle while reducing fat and waist size
✅ Promotes metabolic, cardiovascular, and brain health
✅ Enhances energy, focus, and food freedom—often after just one cycle

I recommend Prolon’s FMD for clients who want the science-backed benefits of fasting without the risks of water fasting or the side effects of GLP-1 drugs. It’s a sustainable, safe, and effective way to support gut-brain-immune resilience and long-term vitality.

Fasting has been around for a millennium, and the reasons you should keep fasting are plenty.

• Counter antibiotic use & Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) recurrence
• Minimize weight loss resistence
• Reduce cholesterol
• Release stored sugar
• Lower anxiety levels
• Ease chronic conditions
• Prevent chronic disease states
• Allivate pain and stiffness
• Slow the effects of aging

Prolon's 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) by L-Nutra Health has been supported by 25 years of research and is currently involved in 41 clinical trials. It was initially designed for cancer patients and has since evolved to include those who want to experience the health benefits of a prolonged fast while eating.  

3 cycles of Prolon's FMD has been shown to:

• Preserve lean muscle mass while you lose weight
• Support of the natural process of autophagy – cellular clean-up and rejuvenation
• Supports overall metabolic health
• Weight loss (average of 5.7 – 7.8 pounds) with preserved lean body mass over 3-4 cycles
• Reduced waist circumference by 1.6 inches
• Supports cardiovascular health, as part of a healthy lifestyle
• A better relationship with food*
• Mental clarity*
• Improved energy levels*
• Fewer cravings*

*Benefits found after just one 5-Day Cycle.

The rest of the benefits were seen in a clinical trial when FMD was used once a month for 3 to 4 consecutive months.

How do you complete a 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet?

You follow the instructions for each day and eat the contents of each box for five consecutive days. 

It's so easy. 

I highly recommend the Generation 3 FMD, with its ready-made soups as part of a maintenance plan for my gut-brain-immune clients to maintain their health. 

Along with a low-inflammatory diet, fasting can support metabolic and cardiovascular health, weight loss, and unique to periodic fasting, cellular rejuvenation. This approach likely confers greater health benefits than keto or a low-calorie diet and is more sustainable both financially and behaviorally than GLP-1 medications.

In fact, new research from Jan of 2025 shows GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide or tirzepatide can strip away 20 years' worth of muscle in under 18 months. It's an alarming side effect of rapid weight loss. 

The most profound difference between FMD and other nutrition approaches is that it supports autophagy, cellular rejuvenation and retains lean muscle mass.
