Prolon Fasting Benefits Close Open

Prolon, essential to vibrant life!

Everyday we stress and intoxicate our body and mind with our current lifestyle, nutrition, environment we live under. As we age, our cellular capability to detox, recover and heal decrease and older senescent cells outnumber young vibrant cells.

Our ancestors had a natural secret to defend against accelerated aging and to rejuvenate younger cells: proLonged fasting (> 3 days). When fasting, the body uses its reserves (fat and glycogen) for the first 2 days (Intermittent Fasting period) but when fasting crosses 3 days or more (the prolonged fasting period), the body undergoes a next level of ‘protective and rejuvenative defense called autophagy.

In modern days, we accelerate cellular damage and aging vs going into periods of autophagy, recovery and rejuvenation. In 5 short days ProLon allows your body to go into a rejuvenating state, while consuming macro and micro nutrients to keep your body nourished.

FAQs Close Open

How many times do I do Prolon each year?

The amazing part about ProLon is it can easily fit into your lifestyle and is only a 5 day change to your normal life.

Suggested consumption by Dr. Valter Longo, head of the Longevity Institute at University of Southern California and Author of the Longevity Diet.

• If you have a health or metabolic objective in mind... do ProLon every month for 3 or 4 months and then once every 3 months to maintain.
• 2 times per year for Healthy Aging (10 days out of 365!)
• 3 times per year for Healthy Aging and added Weight Loss (15 days out of 365!)

Some people do ProLon once a month for therapeutic fasting purposes guided by dietitians.

How should the Prolon program be used?

The diet should be used for five consecutive days, followed by a transition day (Day 6), after which you resume your normal diet. You can eat the items in any order, but consume only each day's items during that day.

What are the food pathways affected by Prolon?

The 3 primary nutrient-sensing pathways down-regulated by ProLon are IGF-1, mTOR, and PKA.

PKA responds to sugar/carbohydrates, IGF-1 to protein (especially animal), and mTOR is triggered by IGF-1 and amino acids. These pathways regulate cell growth and stress resistance during fasting.

What happens to my body during the fasting mimicking program?

ProLon provides essential nutrients while your body goes through a fasting-like state:

• Day 1: Transition to fasting & fat-burning
• Day 2: Fat-burning intensifies; ketogenesis may start
• Day 3: Autophagy and cell clean-up
• Day 4: Cellular rejuvenation and fat-burning
• Day 5: Completion of fast, renewal continues

How much weight am I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies. In a clinical study, participants doing ProLon 5 days/month for 3 months lost an average of 5.7 pounds—primarily abdominal fat—while preserving lean mass.

What is the daily caloric intake during Prolon?

Day 1 includes approximately 1100 kcal, while Days 2–5 each contain 700–800 kcal.
