Full Description
ProLon®, FASTING MIMICKING DIET™ (FMD™), is a plant-based, 5-day meal program providing 1150 calories on Day 1 and approximately 800 on Days 2-5.
ProLon® exploits the ability of the body during periods of low calorie intake to enter a protected mode, remove damaged cells and tissues, and undergo self-repair.*
The ProLon® meal program consists of proprietary plant-based soups, bars, drinks, snacks, teas, and supplement formula tablets - all designed to maximize the protective effects related to fasting, while providing micronutrient nourishment (vitamins, minerals and essential dietary components), and minimizing hunger and the burdens of fasting.* The program covers a period of 5 continuous days.*
Prior to starting the ProLon® meal program, approval by an authorized healthcare professional must be obtained to determine whether ProLon® is right for you or can be consumed in combination with prescription drugs.
ProLon® may result in some people feeling light-headed, dizzy or drowsy, so during the dieting period you should assess how you are feeling before you engage in activities that are high risk or require your undivided attention, such as operating a motor vehicle or heavy machinery.
During the 5-day meal program we recommend that you completely avoid the following, as these could cause serious side effects:
- Alcohol consumption
- Strenuous activities, including exercise
- Exposure to high temperature environments, such as saunas, spas and Jacuzzis
- Cold temperature environments and swimming
- Caffeinated beverages are discouraged; however, 1 cup of coffee or tea without sweeteners or additives may be consumed daily, if necessary. Sodas are not permitted.
Usage Directions
Eat and drink the food provided as instructed for 5 continuous days. No other food or drink should be consumed during this time except water and herbal teas. Users may drink 1 cup of caffeinated beverage with no sweeteners or additives daily, if necessary.
