ProLon® The Fasting Mimicking Diet
The ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet was developed at the University of Southern California (USC) at the Longevity Institute by a team of PhDs and other doctors who specialize in obesity medicine. The diet includes a blend of different soups, bars, and snacks that have a specific caloric, fiber, and vitamin/mineral content to keep you full and help induce weight loss. Completing the ProLon diet is the equivalent of a 5-day water fast, but is safe, even for clients on a heavy medication regimen
An Effective 5-Day Weight Loss Plan
ProLon has quite a few benefits:
-
Low commitment: the plan is only 5 days, compared to hormone weight loss therapy, which is 10-12 weeks.
-
Quick Results: Most clients will lose an average of 5.7lbs. in the plan’s 5 days and keep the majority of the weight off.
-
Convenience: all of the food for the entire 5 days is included in a neatly packaged box along with vitamin supplements.
-
Effective: In studies, people who have tried the ProLon Diet monthly over a period of 3 months saw an increase in their body’s stem cells, a reduction of inflammatory markers, and better levels of healthy cholesterol, glucose, and other metabolic markers.
