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.

Thanks ill check that out. I did go on a “Semi-elemental xiet” for z little over 3 months. Stzyed true to it, hoping,to give everything a break. Its basically “predigested food drink” so that the body doesnt have to work so hard breaking down the nutrients. And supplimented with mtc oil, coconut oil, and something ekse i cant recsll right now.

Got pretty intense. Id stsnd up from sitting position and go to walk, and take a few steps znd black out. Think it was a sugar thing, but not sure. Happened almost every time. Got so id make it to the living room door, amd prop myself up till the head rush resolved. Which was only about 15-20 seconds or so.

It was tough, but i did it. Didnt feel any better unfortunetly. Mighta had a little more stamina, but nothing to write home about. The stuff i took was Absorb plus, and was about $70 for a czn which didnt last long. It was pretty expensive.
