I should be super healthy then as ive onky ever eaten just 2 meals a day, brunch and dinner. And its not many calories. A ham egg bacon cheese sandwhich for brea,fsst with cup of coffee, and a soda (though ,ateely been eating an orange too, they are pretty gpod right now). Then nothing till dinner which usua,,y is about an 8 ounce steak or chop or chicken, maybe a veggie, or a potatoe, and later in the evening a soda. Might ssitch it up once in awhile with pasta, or boiled dinner, or tomatoe sandwhich, but usually stick to some type of meat for dinner.

Im thinking the czlories cznt be that high. (Never counted them) Been 170-190 lbs for 40 years cept when real sick, then i lose z lot. Basically its kindz like a fasting diet id guess?

This Fasting Mimicking Diet turns off multiple inflammatory pathways by reducing calories below 800 a day and having no complete proteins. In essence, your body sees it as a Water-Only fast. Two benefits are that you do take in a minor amount of calories, so you don't think you are completely starving, and they also give you a glycerin drink to prevent your body from eating its own muscle.

The big benefits come from autophagy and the stem cell generation it creates. Autophagy is a phase in which cells finally can seek and destroy defective proteins and cells for use or for reconstruction into new, needed material.

Intermittent fasting doesn't achieve this until the 3rd day of a fast.

Prolon does this safely.
