How do I use ProLon ReSet?

ProLon ReSet makes it easier to fast for a full day by giving you nourishment, fuel, and curbing hunger while keeping your body in a fasting state: 

 

  • Use it as a full day fasting break for your body whenever you need a reset from unhealthy eating 
  • Use it to ramp up your cleanse routine. You can choose to use it twice per week to optimize the benefits of the reset. 
  • Use it as part of your Intermittent Fasting (5:2 Diet) routine. Intermittent fasting (IF) can be defined as fasting for less than 2 days and has become the number one diet in the United States. While there are a variety of fasting methods within the category of IF, such as the 5:2 Diet, they are all based on eating patterns that alternate between intervals of eating and fasting. ProLon ReSet is ideal to use within the 5:2 Diet: this type of IF entails fasting during specific days of the week. For this approach, individuals either eliminate or severely restrict their calories for two (non-consecutive) days of the week and then resume their normal diet for the other five days. You can use ProLon ReSet on your 2 fasting days per week and eat your regular diet for the other 5 days of the week. 

How often can I do ProLon ReSet?

With ProLon ReSet, you can experience a 1-day fast to see if fasting is right for you or use it whenever you feel you need a reset from binging. You can use ProLon ReSet to either: 

  • Ramp up your cleanse routine by using it once or twice per week to optimize the benefits of the reset. 
  • Incorporate into your intermittent fasting 5:2 Diet routine. Consistent with the duration of your 5:2 Diet routine, you can use ProLon ReSet on your 2 fasting days per week and eat your regular diet for the other 5 days of the week. For example, if you choose to follow a 5:2 routine for 3 weeks every month, you would use 6 resets within that month. 

If you seek the benefits of Prolonged Fasting including autophagy and rejuvenation, our ProLon 5-day Fasting Mimicking Programme has been extensively tested, has been safely used by hundreds of thousands of generally healthy consumers, and has been clinically tested to provide many benefits, including the support of overall metabolic health when used in multiple consecutive cycles. 

As with any diet, you should talk to your healthcare provider who may recommend doing monthly cycles until you reach your individual goals, and then every 3-6 months thereafter to maintain benefits. For more info on this Fasting Mimicking Programme, go to the ProLon® 5-day page on this website. 

What is the research behind ProLon ReSet?

ProLon ReSet is designed with the same technology as the ProLon® 5-day Fasting Mimicking Programme. Our technology is the result of over 20 years of preclinical and clinical testing in some of the top universities worldwide in the field, inspired by Nobel Prize winning science and awarded over 36 million US dollars in research and development funding from institutions including the National Institutes of Health and the European Union. 

What foods or drinks can I add to ProLon ReSet?

Additional foods and beverages are discouraged to minimize the risk of breaking the fast. However, you may have: 

  • unlimited herbal teas (unsweetened and caffeine free) 
  • all types of sparkling water are fine (no sweeteners of any kind) 
  • if extremely needed, caffeine up to 140 mg per day: a small cup of black coffee, 2 cups black or green tea, 6 cups of decaffeinated coffee 
  • up to 1 tablespoon of dried herbs or spices per day to your soups or other foods in the diet to enhance the flavor (preferably unprocessed, e.g. red pepper flakes) 
  • up to 2 slices of lemon per day (squeezed, not eaten), whether you use it in your soups, herbal teas, or water. 

You should add food to the program only as a last resort if you are so incredibly hungry that you feel like you are going to break the fast. In such an instance, you may have a slice or two of apple, 1 stalk of celery, or 1 small Persian (“baby”) cucumber of 5-6 inches in length per day. 

Can ProLon ReSet be used for prolonged periodic fasting?

ProLon ReSet is designed to support intermittent fasting (overnight fasts, and fasts lasting less than two days) as part of an everyday healthy lifestyle. If you’re looking for the benefits of prolonged periodic fasting (longer than 2 days) including support of weight loss and fat loss, metabolic health, or a jumpstart to lifestyle transformation, we recommend that you try the ProLon 5-day Fasting Mimicking Programme. 

Can I use ProLon ReSet to extend my ProLon 5-day fast?

ProLon ReSet is designed to use as a full day fasting break when you need a reset, want to ramp up your cleansing routine, or are practicing intermittent fasting as part of a 5:2 Diet routine (fast 2 days per week, eat regular diet for other 5 days of the week). We do not recommend adding a ProLon ReSet day before or after completing 5 days of ProLon, as this has not been tested in any of our studies and may be unsafe in certain people.

What is the difference between ProLon ReSet and ProLon FMD?

ProLon ReSet is a 1-day fast that is derived from the science behind the ProLon 5-day Fasting Mimicking Programme. ProLon ReSet is designed to support intermittent fasting (overnight fasts, and fasts lasting less than two days) as part of an everyday healthy lifestyle.  

If you’re looking for the benefits of prolonged periodic fasting (PF, longer than 2 days), including support of weight loss and fat loss, cellular rejuvenation, metabolic health, or a jumpstart to lifestyle transformation, we recommend that you try the ProLon 5-day Fasting Mimicking Programme. Due to its extended duration, PF goes beyond providing weight loss and fat reduction to promote biological fasting and a process known as autophagy, the clean-up of aging and worn-out intracellular components. These cellular cleansing and rejuvenating effects can only be attained through cellular stress such as a prolonged fast like the ProLon 5-day Fasting Mimicking Programme.  

What is the difference between ProLon Fast Pack and ProLon ReSet?

ProLon Reset is our newest version of a 1-day fast with ProLon. While the ProLon 5-day kit offers a way to ease yourself into fasting, ProLon ReSet offers a 1-day fast that has been shown to keep your body in a fasted state*. This newer formulation along with fewer calories, is derived from the science behind the ProLon 5-day Fasting Mimicking Programme and is specifically designed to support intermittent fasting (IF) routines. We have designed ProLon ReSet to fit a 5:2 Diet which is an intermittent fasting diet that allows people to eat their regular diet 5 days a week and then limit calories on the other 2 (non-consecutive) days. You can use ProLon ReSet on your fasting days for IF up to a day or as part of your 5:2 diet routine, depending on your needs and lifestyle.

Is fasting healthy and safe?

Yes of it is done in a controlled fashion that is 100% scientifically proven, such as all Prolon FMT nutrition programs. Due to nature of fasting, there may be some common complaints associated with it including fatigue, headache, dizziness / lightheadedness, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, and difficulty with concentration during the fasting period. Complaints are mild and tolerated for most people.

ProLon ReSet is a food-based programme. Any significant change in diet (including fiber intake) can contribute to changes in your gut such as bloating, cramping and gassiness, constipation or diarrhea.

Although ProLon ReSet is designed to reduce many of these risks of fasting by providing specific macro and micronutrients, because it is still a low-calorie diet, we encourage you to discuss with your healthcare provider whether the practice of fasting or the use of fasting mimicking diet is right for you. Please avoid the following during the 1-day program:  

  • Any strenuous exercising or activities that may consume a high level of calories.
  • Extreme temperature environments like hot tubs and saunas, or driving long distances under strong sun or heat exposure.

Since ProLon ReSet is a food-based programme, please stop the product should you experience any symptom of an allergic reaction such as a rash, change in voice, swelling or fever.

If you feel light-headed or faint, you should eat something, drink juice, or consume a beverage with sugar. If your symptoms do not subside, please contact your health care provider, or if you feel this is a life- threatening emergency, call 118.
